The New Doubting Thomas:
The Bible, Black Folks & Blind Belief
$19.95

 

Thomas, one of Jesus’ twelve disciples, is primarily known for doubting the resurrection of Jesus and wanting to see his savior’s wounds as proof. The “Thomas” of today represents all those who have legitimate questions and reasonable doubts regarding the bible’s fantastic claims as well as the assertions of “divinely inspired” men behind its creation.    

The current age of information reveals new generations of individuals who refuse to allow their logic and natural curiosities to be held hostage between the pages of Genesis and Revelation. The decline in religious affiliation in many parts of the world serves as evidence of this. Blind, unquestioning acceptance regarding faith is no longer dictated by fear. Biblical dogma is inevitably coming into question.

The New Doubting Thomas . . . specifically explores the African-American dynamic with the Christian faith and its impingement upon Black culture. The book also delves into the myths and motivation behind priestly doctrines, while also addressing the mental side effects of blindly believing in primitive tales based upon what “God” allegedly proclaimed.

About the author: Jeremiah Camara is the author of the groundbreaking book Holy Lockdown: Does the Church Limit Black Progress? Holy Lockdown . . . was among the first books to objectively criticize the institution of the African-American church.  

 

 

 

 

Holy Lockdown:
Does the Church Limit Black Progress?
$14.95

  • Why are there many churches, yet major problems in Black communities?

  • Why are Blacks amongst the most Jesus-praising people in the world, yet the most fragmented and economically dependent?

  • Is there a correlation between high praising and low productivity?

    Holy Lockdown takes a critical look at the collective impact the church has made on the Black psyche, and it explores the possibility of the church as being a contributing factor to the many social problems facing Blacks. Jeremiah Camara effectively illustrates how the sermonic rhetoric within the church represses unlimited potential. Camara maintains that Black preachers are routinely delivering sermons that keep the Black collective in a state of powerlessness.

    (DVD) Blind Belief:
    How Religion Divides the Black Community
    $10

     

    Jeremiah Camara, author of the widely acclaimed book Holy Lockdown: Does the Church Limit Black Progress? speaks live in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Shrine of the Black Madonna.

    Camara takes a critical look at not only the Black church but also Christian fundamentalism as it relates to Blacks. Through visual examples, Camara helps us to recognize our religious fallacies.

    This powerful presentation explains the origin of our many beliefs and doctrines, of which most Black people are unaware. Camara maintains that religion is not only the transport system into the psychology of the people. It is our greatest divisive element within the Black community.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    (DVD) Paradigm Shift:
    Lightening our Religious Load
    $10

     

    Paradigm Shift is a monumental documentation/lecture, capturing the cultural intentions of a nomadic group of bible story-telling shepherds (ancient Jews). Presented is the long list of biblical stories the world is just expected to believe—because they said, “God said”—and never dare question.

    But what do these plagiarized, mythological tales have to do with Black people? How can we proudly claim to be indigenous to Africa and/or the originators of civilization, while also believing that the biblical tales of homeless and uncivilized Jews, murdering, pillaging and land stealing in the name of their “God” had anything to do with Black people? In enthralling fashion, this stunning video presentation details the desperate motivations behind this clever and dramatically resourceful Jewish minority, whose imagination has produced worldwide consequences.

    Inevitably controversial, yet powerfully informative, PARADIGM SHIFT draws parallels between nomadic tent-dwellers (the so-called ancient Jews) and the unnecessary burden their stories have placed upon our present-day spiritual, social and financial paradigm. Driven to end the troubling insecurity intrinsic to homelessness, the world has been systematically swindled by nomadic storytellers—all in their desperate attempt to call somewhere in the world home.

     

     

     

     

    (DVD) In Hog Heaven:
    The Problem With the Mega Church
    $10

     

    We will never unlock the door leading to freedom using the conqueror’s keys. The main “keys” that were used to enslave and continue to enslave Black people are found within the institution of Christianity.

    The Bible was the primary instrument used to justify Black enslavement. The cross was the key symbol of our spiritual defeat, and we were forced to accept an image of a “savior” that was likened to our oppressor. This twisted religious irony was a recipe for religious dysfunctionality and created an infinite degree of psychosis behavior.

    Mega church preachers/pimps, despite all of this, continue to grow and preach a “give-to-get gospel of greed.” Jeremiah Camara, in this informative video presentation, exposes many of these highly uninformed “organized beggars,” who are posing as prophets but are in fact, nothing more than “profits.”
