Your first 2 lines are rambling, so I barely read them.

I only mentioned God because so did Wiggs. But Wiggs did not state that bad things can also be attributed to God. He just mentioned mans free will.

What I was saying, was that was you, and not God. You said why do people attribute good things to God? Maybe it's a figure of speech, maybe a "Thank God" is just, someone saying that...just as some chick you are with and she says "oh god".

No, I was not speaking figuratively. I was being literal.

ok... now I am confused... anyway, there's a community of black jews here. Not sure if they go so far back though or if they are converts original hebrew and whatnot :/ And is Whoopi Goldberg an original Hebrew like you?

Watch this short video and you'll know what I'm saying.

Quite the opposite, perhaps. "Black academia" has its own logic.

An Ivy League professor blogged after George Zimmerman was found not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin that the verdict shows God is a “white racist” who stalks “young black men.”

Anthea Butler, an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Religious Studies, made the unusual comments in a blog post released on Monday on ReligionDispatches.org, where she is a regular contributor.

“God ain’t good all of the time. In fact, sometimes, God is not for us,” she wrote in the post. “As a black woman in an [sic] nation that has taken too many pains to remind me that I am not a white man, and am not capable of taking care of my reproductive rights, or my voting rights, I know that this American god ain’t my god.

“As a matter of fact, I think he’s a white racist god with a problem. More importantly, he is carrying a gun and stalking young black men,” she added.

Butler adds that Trayvon Martin’s killing was the result of racism that was influenced by Christianity.

“As a historian of American and African-American religion, I know that the Trayvon Martin moment is just one moment in a history of racism in America that, in large part, has its underpinnings in Christianity and its history,” she wrote. “Those of us who teach American Religion have a responsibility to tell all of the story, not just the nice touchy-feely parts.”

“When the good Christians of America are some of its biggest racists, one has to consider our moral responsibility to call out those who clearly are not for human flourishing, no matter what ethnicity a person is. Where are you on that scale? I know where I am.”

According to her biography, Butler holds doctorate and masters degrees in religion from Vanderbilt University as well as a masters in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. She is the author of a 2007 book titled "Women in the Church of God in Christ, Making A Sanctified World," published by University of North Carolina Press.

Butler, who did not respond to requests for comment, is also an associate chair for the school's religious studies department and is a regular contributor and guest on both MSNBC and CNN.

Josiah Ryan, editor-in-chief of Campus Reform, which first reported Butler's comments, said the professor's reaction to the verdict was bizarre.

"No amount of heartbreak over the Zimmerman acquittal justifies these hateful posts," Ryan said. "Professor Butler's remarks were clearly designed to hurt when Americans needed healing and to divide when we needed unity.”

"In tumultuous times students must be able turn to their professors for calm and wisdom. In stoking the flames of hatred, Professor Butler has betrayed her students' trust. UPenn administrators ought not to allow her back in the classroom."

Officials for the University of Pennsylvania declined to comment

I don't know where people get the idea that God is supposed not let things like this happens. It's not even in the Bible. The Bible clearly states, than man is flawed and there will be thieves, there will be murders, there will be liars, and adulterers etc. This is because he gave us free will and in the end all will be judged. So don't blame God for bad shit happening, blame man.

Bull-fucking-shit God gave us free will! Nothing ' free ' about choosing something other than what God wants and then burning in hell for it for eternity for exercising your ' Free will ' . It's God's way or eternal torture

And like Einstein said

“Why do you write to me ‘God should punish the English’? I have no close connection to either one or the other. I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for their numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible; in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him.”

Not human's fault that God made us fucked up and then punishes us for his mistakes.

So why when good things happen, people contribute this to God? If man has free will, why not contribute good things happening to oneself, and not God?

And when bad things happen, its never Gods fault.

Seems like a convenient way to let God off the hook.

People not believing in God is one thing...but for people who claim to believe in Him, then actually think they can "judge" Him... ridiculous

God makes no excuses because He doesn't owe you any explanations.

Hopefully this causes an uproar in the white community. With cases such as these, you can see that everybody wants to degrade the white community. The race card will always be played. Simply put, the majority of minorities hate white people. The sooner people learn that, the better off we are. Black men are after white women because it's a power trip to them. Throughout this entire ordeal, has the majority of people not seen the double standard that now exists! Your only racist if your white!

It's common for professors to run off at the mouth because they are rarely challenged, especially by students. Academics of every political stripe are in a bubble with a circular system of validation. I have had professors who enourgared an atmosphere of openness and welcome students challenging their ideas. Everybody benefits from this kind of open exchange of ideas.
