Amazing Grace Is A Fraud

[kingfish]

so i was up inna de uwi yesterday liming when my friends told me to never listen that popular song amazing grace but ima PROUD christian so its normal when i go to church we sing this and also for funerals i hear it too. i asked why and they told me that the man who created the song was the CAPTAIN OF A SLAVE TRADING SHIP selling Africans into the Caribbean.

His Name was john Newton and he began participating in the slave trading and one day while drunk on a slave boat he made up the song. He was described to be a wretch and loved cursing and saying the most explicit things. He is also the writer of explicit rude poems and said the most disgusting things to people and devoted his life to be a proud captain of a slave ship .

I will never sing this song again jed never in meh lifeee dey does say history is everything and it proved that we just naive in the caribbean following everything of our mother country and not even knowing what it meant .

Wow well look at how you open up my eyes there hmmm, never in my wildest imagine would have ever taught about this. I'm sure only a few people know about this and to believe that this song is being sung at funerals wtf, so you know what this shows, it shows how we does be listening to all sorts of music and do not know the origins and the meaning of the song.

I would like to inform you, that there is some truth in what you say, however there is one error in this. John Newton wrote the song after he was enlightened and he decided to help with the abolition of slavery. He wrote this song after he gave up trading in slaves.

So please get your facts correct and stop bashing Christians.
