Absolutely no defense of Christians, just saying that a lot of shit that is used to 'prove' there must not be a God (or blame God for) is only evidence of man-made climate change. So yeah...keep that same energy, put where it goes.

Alright #religionsky and #filmsky, I have a question for both of you. There's a conversation going on in my community about whether Sinners features Voodoo or Hoodoo. I'm leaning toward Hoodoo due to the lack of religious iconography in the film and the pouring of libations. What are your thoughts?

Spent yesterday facilitating a conversation on decolonization with religious leaders from across the globe. Most ready. One or two like what’s the problem. So you know everybody don’t want to be free or want you to be free. #AcademicSky #ReligionSky #FaithSky #Blackademia
