Alot has been said at the idea of giving money to all the african-americans who are in this country because their ancestors were taken as slaves. Personally, I think its a load of crap. I don't believe people today should have to pay for the mistakes of their ancestors or that other people should hit the proverbial lottery because of who their ancestors were. Once again, I'm not a christian and I do not believe in the bible, here's another reason why.
According to the bible the reason that we are so sinful today is the fact that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Because two people ate some bad fruit thousands of years ago we all still continue to have to pay the price for their mistake. Basically, we are paying the price for something our collective ancestors did. If we are still having to deal with something so minor two people did thousands of years ago then why shouldn't we also have to deal with something almost an entire culture did that was much worse than eating something a few hundred years ago? To me at least, the bible seems to back that idea and we all know the bible is never wrong is it? (I'm hoping you could tell the sarcasm there)
Yet another reason why I don't believe in the bible.
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven.
