Yup - and we are all decendents of Noah and his sons.

God made us different, but it is Christ that binds us. People who don't share my race, but have given their hearts to Christ, are my brothers.

No implications intended. I agree, cultures can make a big difference. Yet, I believe that we were created in God’s image. And as his offspring we have an inborn desire to create as well. Perhaps I pride myself on being simple minded. I have many more questions than answers.

I'm struggling to know how to respond. OKay, first, I'll say:



"They're a very musical people, aren't they?"

Second, I'll say "who cares?"! :))) No one is going to take someone trying to boil the races down to their various "usefulnesses" as a helpful thing. I see you want to contribute in a positive meaningful way, and I shouldn't just put that down.

Ultimately, there is huge friction because of the differences in the races. Are you just ignoring that friction and instead saying "let's celebrate our differences"? Isn't that just muliculturalism?

What about the really hard stuff? Like that jews have won more nobel prizes and cured more diseases per capita than anyone else? Or that the British invent a huge amount of stuff? But if you comment on those things, isn't everyone else going to be put out that you're saying they aren't as smart? Or what if you say that black people are good at athletics? Isn't everyone else going to be put out by that? Maybe some things are just best left alone?

Have you studied some of the existing scientific theory of the races? Eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongoloid

I still say if you're going to deal virtually exclusively with racial issues, you should buy a different $5 domain name

I am your brother.

I think you are starting to understand the spirit in which I wrote the article. I do not deny the friction between different people groups. I think the heart of the conflicts we have are more spiritual than cultural. I was hoping people would contribute more positive attributes that our ancestors exhibited when relating to one another.
