Black Twitter Divided Over Boity’s Remarks On The Bible Being Patriarchal. Religion is a very controversial topic and media personality Boity had the masses in a grey area after sharing her views about the bible.
The rapper has been at the top of the trends after tweeting a thread about her reason’a for not believing in the bible citing the lack of representation of women and how it does not resonate with her journey.
“Lack of female voices and representation especially in the Bible. Also, the journey didn’t fill up the void in my soul the way I was brought up to believe it would” Boity wrote.
She further mentioned how she doesn’t understand how in a decade of recordings, there isn’t merely ten women who have shared their own encounters with Jesus.
“You telling me that book was a record of years of people’s Holy encounters and they barely got 10 nyana WOMEN to talk about their moments with Jesus? Gurl, bye” she wrote.
Boity who is a Sangoma concluded the debate by stating that she speaks for herself in saying that the whole premise of the bible is very bias against women and she has since found a path that she prefers.
“Look man, I’ve gone through the religious journey. Went to church. I read the book. Found little to no form of representation in there. Not race, barely gender, not a name, not much. I was left with more questions than connection. And then I found my way. Each to their own” Boity said.
Here are some of the reactions from twitter
