Anyway I more or less fully agree with the basic precept of the Nation of Islam to my understanding that man is a teardrop in the ocean of god, sort of like an atom in a molecule. I think even if it were untrue it's important not to downplay the significance of that idea being given like true medicine to a sick person. Not to sound like a douche I just think that if someone were to be unappreciative of the power of what each human possesses innately, then I think they need to understand that analogous precept.
I see all these people unable to carry on a conversation because they are so engrossed in their phones, and I don't mean the ones who can multitask... more the people who are always looking at their phone and never have anything to chime in. Makes me laugh that they find their reason for being that day to be spending an hour on vine, an hour on instagram, an hour bitching about stupid shit.
Maybe I'm just on the next step above that on the wasting time scale by even writing this haha.
Anyway, so you don't think the existence of the NOI is a good thing? I feel like they have taught a lot of people to live a better more peaceful way of life than what they otherwise would have; realizing they have more control over their situation in life than they had previously realized.
