Because they feel the principles of the Bible are true and contain valuable relevence to thier spiritual needs/beleifs.

The religion had nothing to do with the murdering or enslaving of Africans. People who acted in ingnorance were to blame for enslaving my ancestors. They were not lead by the church or protestant movement to do what they unjustly did.

Christianity was not forced on Africans. If you remember we were brought here as slaves and to work. The white man could have cared less what religion we embraced. They wouldn't have forced the Bible on them if anything which embraces harmony among all people.

Who is Christianity blasphemic to? Have you completely dismissed the idea that once African were here and exposed to Christianity they made a chioce to take up the religion. Earlier you said that they were stripped of thier culture and what not. While agree with you on that you make it seem like that because they were taken from thier home they didn't get a chance to find a spirituality that was comfortable for them. Isn't that what matters most? I know black people that are Christians do not embrace the mistakes other people claiming to part of the religion have done, they embrace the teachings of it's scriptures and contentment it rbings thier spirit.
