Church's Growing (Gay) Flock Changes Heart of Texas

I see you have not been able to answer the question that I asked YOU. Sorry, I have been away from my computer for a few days.

If you had a son or a daughter and they were homosexual, but Christian believers, would you prefer them to get married in Church or to live together in sin? Your question doesn't make sense. If a homosexual is a "Christian believer", then he or she will do what the Bible says and "come out" of homosexuality and live either as a celebate or as a heterosexual like the Bible says. That's what it means to be a believer. Homosexuals can't get married, and even if they do go through some type of so-called marriage, they are still living in sin. So your two choices don't make any sense.

Your repeated comparison of "homosexual unions" and interracial marriage is stupid. In Genesis Chap. 2 when God institutes marriage, he doesn't say anything about race. Neither did Jesus, Paul or any other biblical writer. You are adding your own personal views to the Bible and claiming that it's God's will, and if you are a Christian you KNOW that it is a sin to do that, i.e., to add to scripture.

By the way, just to clarify, you think it is wrong for whites to marry blacks. How about blacks marrying indians? or asians marrying eskimos? or melanesians marrying africans? or whites marrying jews? or whites marrying arabs? Do you think of these categories as different races? How deep do your racial purity ideas go? Would children of these marriages be mongrels, too.

I agree with your answer on Christianity and homosexuality.

I have already acknowledged that the Bible does not specifically outlaw interracial marriage. What I was talking about was America, and the kind of America the founding fathers envisaged. This was to be a white Christian nation. I referred to the Scriptures when discussing God's creation of diversity of races. If different racial types intermarry, then distinctions are blurred, and we all become indistinguishable mongrels.

Asian, Arabs, and Melanesian peoples are different racial types, but Jews arguably are not. They are usually defined in religious terms, and, since one can be Jewish if only one's mother is Jewish, the Jews are already of mixed race; even if they were a separate race in Biblical times, they have long since lost such separate racial identity.

Do you honestly believe the founding fathers would have endorsed an America with no racial diversity, with no white people left?

Asian, Arabs, and Melanesian peoples are different racial types, but Jews arguably are not. They are usually defined in religious terms... So do you think it is wrong for Jews and "whites" to marry?

Do you honestly believe the founding fathers would have endorsed an America with no racial diversity, with no white people left? I don't think the founding fathers ever imagined the level of diversity we have today. They "may" not have envisioned blacks as ever being "equal to" whites. But I don't think they ever envisioned cell phones, or pizza, or comic books either. I don't know what that has to do with anything. You shouldn't use your guesses as to what supposed prejudices the founding father may or may not have had regarding racial diversity to justify your racial prejudices today. Frankly, if your big fear is "an America with no racial diversity, with no white people left...", I don't think that will happen. Even in South America and other places where mixed mariages are common, they're not anywhere near something like that.

Finally, in your "separate but equal world view," what do you think bi-racial individuals (mongrels as you call them) should do as far as dating and marriage. If he or she is half black and half white, would they be allowed to marry only blacks? only whites? other mongrels?
