Logic about same race marriage

[ego licet visum]

Same race marriage should be banned because procreation without adaptation is harmful to society, to the parents and child, and to the gene pool. Without interracial marriages, the phenotype of the population remains the same, leaving this population stagnant and with a lack of genetic development and adaptation. This means that children from same race marriages add nothing to society while using up resources and part of the workforce by taking time away from the people that need to take care of them. In order to promote continuous adaptation of the whole of society, all marriages must be interracial and anything else should be illegal.

Interracial marriages also create a new generation of people who are not as prejudiced against people of other races because they gain tolerance for different races and cultures since they have been exposed and are apart of more then one. If someone is raised while experiencing and being a member of one group and one group only, when exposed to a second group it is likely they will be prejudiced against it. If someone is raised in two different groups, when exposed to a third they are more likely to be accepting of it because they won’t think that there is only one right group, but that there could be many right groups. If interracial marriages had been the way everyone was raised for the past 100 years, the Civil Rights movement would have been much less painful for society in its entirety. Racial tension in the present also would be much more relaxed allowing for a more peaceful, tolerant and positive society.

No it shouldn't. No offense intended, but there is absolutly no good reason at all to ban a perfectly good thing as same race marriage.

Now interraccial marriage is another topic (doesn't the Bible say something about it)

I'm not against it in anyway, but doesn't the Bible recommend against it?

Hehe- now there's a thought. Same race marriage banned . I actually think that might be funny- you do bring up some good points though.

 

[ego licet visum]

I am not Christian and this is not a theocracy. What the bible says is irrelevant. My logic is clear. Interracial marriage is obviously better for society then same race marriage.

 

[nuarc]

Well I wasnt asking you, I was asking the one who said that the Bible says something against it. I doubt he would have a verse anyways- I think I'll edit.

 

[Whimsy]

Banned? So if two people love each other and they happen to be the same race they should go out searching for somebody of another race? That sounds unreasonable. It's also a fact that, in the USA, anyway, there's not an even mix of races. If it was banned, which isn't going to happen, people would have to leave the country if they wanted to get married.

Sure, racial tensions would decrease, but honestly... banning marriage on the basis of race just doesn't sound like the answer to racism.

I'm not even sure if you're serious or not, but I'm assuming you are, just in case, heh.

I think the bible says not to be "unequally yoked" (correct me, if there is another passage you are referring to). To me, that does not mean not to marry outside of your race. It simply means to keep with someone likeminded, with the same values, etc. I think the idea is to preserve marriage, and that is very difficult to do, if you can't see eye to eye on lots of things. Marraiage is hard enough at times with someone who is likeminded without bringing in a lot of other issues. Boy, I don't know how Mary Matalin and James Carville do it, then.

Also, in scripture God told the Israelites not to marry the foreign women, but if you look at 1 Kings 11, the foreign women were not worshipers of God Almighty. They were of another religion. God did not want their hearts to be turned from Him, and that is exactly what happened with King Solomon.

Hope this helps.

The topic is not about the Bible and interracial marriage. It is about the law of the United States of America and same race marriage.

Was this intended as an ironic musing?

Hope so. It sounds like a pretty archaic idea (telling people who to marry, etc.)

 

[ego licet visum]

Yes, I of course do not believe that same race marriage should be banned. But I do not believe that same sex marriage should be banned. This was intended to demonstrate that there is no good nonreligious reason why same sex marriage should be banned. If no one can make an argument for why same sex marriage should be banned that is stronger then my argument for why same race marriage should be banned that does not involve religion, then the attempt to ban same sex marriage is absurd, hypocritical and just plain wrong.

Uh-Oh

This forum has covered this already. Not wasting any more time reading or debating it. Good luck all!

People, he's playing devil's advocate and he's doing this to make a valid point.

Read between the lines.

I was, but I've seen some amazingly brazen acts of sheer stupidity on this on these boards, so I'm wary of giving the benifit of the doubt.

Fair cop. It's not always easy to convey irony online.

Heck I think I am sort of lost here but I see nothing wrong marrYing of any race as long as they are people and Male and Female.

The point he made, which is an interesting one, is that there are substantial social benefits to mixed-race marriages. So, should we deny the marriages which are less beneficial?
