Welcome to The Human Church!

If you're human, you're a member!

I Speak English to understand and use the language in which my people found courage against, and solution to, our dilemma as captives of Europe's war on, and pillage of, Africa. Dehumanized and chattelized, we are forced to serve and suffer as commodities under white supremacist concerns...and so, in opposition, my ethnicity takes the title of "Black", upping the word from the corrupted adjective form, to that of proper noun, to refer to my people not as a citizen commodity, but as a citizen culture recognizing English as the final frontier and barrier to the respect of freedom, which the English words of our nation promise, but whose racist hands constantly and lavishly strangle. Standing at the precipice of bravery's plunge, I open "The Humane Human Church" in the interest of "Tragedy's End", to enable all who respect a higher power to act to end tragedy by respecting that higher power in themselves and all others, as well as in the world that we inhabit.

Sex Is A Match Game

She spills the blood.

He holds the bone,

Until there is a flood,

Relieved through damsel zone.

Peace will ride this river;

Hate will heat it dry,

And a wound, deliver,

Making freedom cry.

The Captives of the Euro-Africa War

Though the histories of the world written by Euro-centrists hail wars of constant peril among themselves and with Asian nations, even those Mediterranean conflicts are so characterized, none characterize the so-called "slave trade" as being the product of such a war, when in fact, it was. The captives of Europe's war on Africa were, like the captives of the Bush war in Afghanistan, shipped to a neutral country, where, instead of interrogation, they were subjected to exploitation of their labor. This was called "slavery" because this was the general treatment given the prisoners of Roman war, whose soldiers fought heavily in the region of Europe known as the "Slavic" region. It was Roman "Slaves" who were liberated into Egypt where they came to infect and infest the original Hebrew Israeli tribe of Judah, who had come to Egypt as the tribes spread out from their homeland, Jerusalem, to find alternatives for a while, when it was plagued with climatic turmoil. These Ashkenazim, adopted the term Jew (from Judah) to mean the entire religion, and characterized the Egyptians not as liberators, but as their original enslavers. There is some scholarly speculation that many of the remaining black Hebrews were offered up as captives to be enslaved in America, along with the black populations stolen from sub-Sahara Africa. Did I say, "enslaved"? Well, I meant, "chattelized", for this "slavery" had a new and completely inhuman characteristic. The prisoners were socially demoted from human status to the lowest rung of economic commodities, their lives stripped of human attributes of culture, language, religion, tradition, knowledge, family, country, and valued solely for their economic potential, and even that being abused for various cruel, demeaning, and murderous amusements. The characterization of slavery is conspiratorially intentional for it prevents the assignment of a need for reparation to the victims of an unjust war. In all moral and legalistic standing, that is where we stand, as victims of unjust war-the European war on Africa, and the American war on the captives of the European war on Africa-in need of, and deserving, reparation.

Beauty Held

When the old revere the young and the young revere the old,

Spiritual equilibrium sets, and reaps, for all, life's gold.

When history is respected and the future held so dear,

Heritage is protected by the beauty held so near.

To one's self all is interpreted by God.

We are all naked before God. God made all, and all is as good as God. There is no evil in matter.
Being the stuff of creation, matter is nothing less than the touch of God. Truth is the foundation of reality, and exists all before man first walked, spoke, or breathed. Our bodies are part of that truth, and have grown from it, grow with it, and will decay into it. The job of our minds is to learn and regard the truths of the past, discern them in the present, and respect them for the future, as we add the truth our own lives. The past is history, and the present is heritage.
People naturally divide from one another in self-sufficient groups of common interest, and develop according to their genetic powers and social devotions. This is held in the strata of ethnicity, culture, nationality, and religion, and nowhere is a racial distinction hewn from nature. Race is purely an intellectual concept, devised for the purpose of comparing, and pitting peoples against one another, in effort to overrun and dominate, rob and pillage, the ethnic goods of the various peoples assaulted. It is a product of white supremacist ideology, by which a hierarchy of rights is established, with the holders of white credentials on top. This thinking is what is regarded to be evil, for evil is simply the product of, and faith in, error.
Evil is that which harms the physical being of life, and wounds with essentially the dedication to untruth, its happiness, . Race, as a product of the untruth of white supremacy, is a concept of evil. Though ethnic and other divisions occur, the essential unity of the human species is undisturbed, and in fact, expanded. Racism is designed to promote a segregation of spirit, right, territory, purpose, and goods, for the benefit of white supremacy.
We all have particular traits in common with others, and unique unto ourselves. Our goodness, or evil, as humans depends on the degree to which we oppose or promote, inequity (iniquity, untruth), and we speak to God only in answer for our own positions, not for those of our race, or church, or nation, or tribe, or family, or corporation, etc.
Indeed, each of us is perfect as God intended. Our struggle is to relate our perfections to one another in the way of harmony. As our perfections struggle for expression, they can only meet in compromise, accepting the wonder of our differences. Objecting to one another, we selfishly deny God the passage God has chosen to undertake in another, for God is not only alpha and omega, but omnipresent, except in our choices that exist to mark our own identities in relation to one another.
Undeniably, life to us is a blessing from God. In that we fail to bless one another, we create an unhappy struggle. The European war on Africa that manifested "the slave trade” continues to be Man's greatest failure and deepest tragedy, and life will not be happily fulfilled until its humane resolution.

A Dam Against Bloodshed

Life is a dam against nature's bloodshed

Built in the woman by a crew man led.

But more than just dammed, the blood is consumed,

Digested, and molded into a fleshen bloom

Which resonates in bone from which new bloodflow springs,

Only to be dammed by what new bloodflow brings:

Earthen tones to heart - the rhythm we all sing

Crying out for answer - and so, our listening.

Do we hear the rush of wind against our lash?

Do we give an answer with a voice we found at last?

All in God's construction, to us, may seem to fail,

Our own understanding, put to God's, must always pale.

And this is as it should be for our fleshened time is quick.

Eternal God has vision that, to us, must seem a trick.

Magic, mirrors, miracles, medicine, music, math;

All are simply corridors along the infinite path.

Wide and large they loom as rooms that time moves along.

Each of us a visor through which God shares life's song.

So, the woman bears this river; the male provides the clay,

To bloodflow deliver to the crying, breathing day,

An emblem grave beyond the gay by which love wove its joy-

An even-bearing little girl, a dam providing little boy.

Blood is dammed within our flesh and through women, pours.

As this is nature's just design, Let's keep it evermore.
