RELIGIOUS IRONY
I find it to be singularly ironic that the veritable descendants of the Ethiopian people, who invented the concept of God, the idea of God, which to them, was the acme, aphelion, perihelion Duat, of all existence, of all creation, pre-Creation, procreation , and the vortices and vertices of the stars, planets, sun, moon, earth, man, arts, crafts, sciences, philosophies, which primordial Ethiopians bequeathed to their offspring the Egyptians, who via the gods: Osiris, Isis, Horus, circumambulated the globe, planting: astronomy, navigation, agriculture, architecture, religion, reading, writing, geometry, arithmetic and more, so as to civilize the earth; would be talked down to by a bold Virginia slaveholder, Charles Colcock Jones, as though they did not know the very God that they had created in conception and that they physically embody in the flesh, in his historic book THE RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION OF THE NEGROES IN THE UNITED STATES (1842). Amazing!
