Hipolitix - 8pm EST www.blogtalkradio.com/hipolitix Join us tonight for a conversation with Anthony B. Pinn. Anthony received from Harvard University in 1994 and made his initial mark on the academy with Why, Lord?: Suffering and Evil in Black Theology  (1995), galvanizing Pinn as an African American humanist and solidifying African American humanism as an historic, non-theistic religious orientation for African Americans.  In this text, Pinn finds that black theologians have no evidence to support the notion that God is working on behalf of the oppressed, and any theological position that claims such is based on redemptive suffering theodicies that perpetuate African American suffering.  For Pinn, human liberation is more important than the maintenance of any religious symbol, including God.  Pinn offers African American humanism as a strategy for “liberation” that does not make black suffering virtuous.
