THE BITS AND PIECES THAT MAKE ME

In this autobiography, Dr. Bell recounts many mind-shaping memories as he describes and explains (a) his youthful social orientations, his early schooling and family life (b) his college life, army career and adult family living experiences; (c) the reasoning that motivated his religion pilgrimage from Baptist to Muslin to becoming a humanist, a person who believes that humans are capable of building ethical societies without the notion of superhuman or supernatural gods; and (d), the mental awakening that prompted him to try to persuade black people to stop their "e;Jesus worshipping"e; practices. Dr. Bell argues that "e;Jesus worshipping"e; practices are really "e;white male worshipping"e; practices, and such practices subconsciously induce in Black people a sense of racial inferiority and promote in white people a sense of white superiority.
