A New Religion for African Americans and All

If you were wrongly arrested for murder of someone you don't know, how much would you be upset?

CLEVELAND (AP) — A man who spent nearly four decades in prison after being convicted of murder is expected to be freed Friday after a witness confessed he lied as a boy when he told jurors he saw the deadly attack. 

Ricky Jackson had been seeking a new trial and sobbed loudly with his face in his hands as prosecutors dismissed his case Tuesday, The Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/1vpfhwJ ) reported. 

"I can't believe this is over," Jackson, 57, said, thanking his supporters and his attorneys from the Ohio Innocence Project.

So, The Tokyo Shimbun newspaper interviewed Mr. Jackson.

Mr. Jackson said that the life behind bars had been colorless and tasteless without hope.  He sought for salvation of his soul by relying on various religions, but only word of his mother sustained him: "Truth will liberate you."

Mr. Jackson also revealed that a certain detective had forced him to admit the murder by pushing a telephone book onto his face and punching him through it.

But when he was released from the prison, he looked up at the sky.  Mr. Jackson was happy to be able to see a wide sky as much as he wanted.

African Americans are very unique people.  They can be compared to Judaists in Europe.  Both the groups of people have been different from other major race, Europeans or European Americans, though most of Judaists look similar to Europeans except some part of genes.

However the core of Judaists is their religion.  Without Judaism, there would be no issues related to Judaists.  If no Judaists stick to their unique religion any more, who would care about them if they do not become Christians.

On the other hand, nobody minds what African Americans believe.  Their outlook only weighs.  Probably the social state of their ancestors would not even matter.  It is only their outlook.  The skin color is stronger than religion in giving an excuse for exercising segregation.

The issue of Judaists is related to our understanding of the past history.  It is a matter of finding the root of our civilization of today.  Modern global civilization and culture are supported by traditions symbolized by existence of Judaists.  The more we study our history, the more we will accept Judaists.

But, African Americans have almost nothing to do with the mainstream of the past history.  They came from Africa to be involved in the modern history on the stage of the US.  They have nothing to do with Abraham who lived 4000 years ago in Iraq.

Rather, African Americans are for the future.  For example, they can accept a new religion without betraying their ancestors.  

In other word, if God should give mankind a new religion, probably they will most earnestly accept it.  In this case, being African Americans should be very advantageous.

But how would European Americans and Judaists overlook African Americans following a new religion based on a tenet that asserts it intends to supersede Judaism and Christianity?

Anyway, if a new religion should prevail in America replacing Christianity and Judaism and the religion should be led by African Americans, their skin color would be a great symbol of this new religion all the Americans would accept.


To God, being regarded as black or white is just a laughable matter, in my view.

Mar 4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
Mar 4:27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
