I became disillusioned every time I got faced with images or paintings of Jesus Christ. I felt that we were worshipping an idol. Jesus Christ was a Jew, yet the images of Jesus Christ in the Roman Catholic Church were that of a pale, blonde-haired white male. The images of a white Jesus Christ and the lack of black faces amongst the congregants confirmed to me that I was in a wrong church. I felt segregated and alienated. . I am also strongly convinced that the Gospel is a misleading and corrupt text. I do not want to worship in the dark. For centuries, the defence of blind faith has driven nations to war, violence, discrimination, slavery and white supremacy. We are now a gullible society of brainwashed automatons with trepidation of questioning. The white lies in the Gospels left me convinced that I should not totally agree with the Gospels. The Johane Masowe YeChishanu has removed the barrier of the white Christ as the saviour of the white races and have accepted the saving message of Christ as specifically directed to the black races. Johane was emphasising his break with the white churches and their religion as embodied in the Bible. Truly, it is not a surprise that the victors write their own history. It is no surprise that the Romans favoured the penning of the Paulinized gospels. It is no accident that today’s Christianity is a product of the Romans, for they were the victors. In essence, Rome did not convert to Christianity; Christianity converted to Rome. In essence, Christianity did not destroy paganism; it adopted it. Paul championed Gentilization, and consequent de-Judaization, leading then to anti-Judaization of Christianity.
