There is no way you can make an analogy between same race marriage and same sex marriage. Any attempt to do so is a form of insanity.
But he's already done so. Just because you don't much like it doesn't mean it hasn't been accomplished.

But just to clarify, believing in an invisible guy who knows everything you think or do and will one day possibly send you to a place of eternal torture and suffering because you didn't think the right things... but he loves you... that's sane???

good post ego...

I don't know why some of the others didn't figure it out..Great point ;D


Same race marriage is good. I don't think anyone is really aginst it AT ALL...Ego was making a valid point...

I have to say It makes me smile when I see a couple of different races getting married. I think its a great thing when we all start to show intrest in eachothers cultures and accept evereyone around the world..

Anyone who prefers eternal judgement over an eternity with Him should have their preferred judgement to enjoy, don't you think?? Those who never get tired of their rebellion against Him in this life deserve to spend an eternity in their blissful state of uninterrupted rebellion against Him, right?? Work for it hard enough, and that is what you will deserve and get. So smile, be happy with the prospects!

In the bad old days, people married on the basis or race, religion, nationality, culture, and wealth. Each race, religion, nationality, culture, and economic class has a normal curve of smart to stupid, ugly to beautiful, and lazy to ambitious. The result was that our unnatural classification of humans had a mix and no one had a "Darwinistic" over the others.

Now days people can marry whom ever they wish. The smart, beautiful,and ambitious will tend to marry the smart, beautiful and ambitious. This will result in a voluntary segregation into two social classes, rulers and grunts.

This is not to say that thet grunts will be less happy than the rulers, having little ambition and smarts. They will be verry happy with cheap beer and the sports channel.

Sounds thought provoking. But looking at it from a different perspective, wouldn't banning same race mariages be just as stupid as banning same sex marriages. In fact I am of the opinion that marriage should be no big deal. Just 2 people committed to each other, thats all it takes. Whats the need for all the pomp and circumstance and sancticity of that institution?

Except that any ban by any government would violate the freedom of conscience of an individual.

I would be very happy if most Christians would let their God be the judge in all cases when someone does something they may disapprove of, but does no one any harm.

I have always said just a few more decades and there will be no whites no blacks no Mexicans no Asians etc.
We will have all been bred down.
I see nothing wrong in mixed races of people of opposite gender.
To late for me though I will always be white.

I think this is a great idea. You've got my vote. Seriously.

Or we could make it a gradual transition. The law on same sex marriage gravitates towards acceptance as the law of same race marriage being banned is slowly eliminated. Great Post.

ok, i have to admit that i never read much further than this post, but isn't the idea of "race" pretty much debunked by this point in time? there is just as much genetic diversity in local populations as there is between akron ohio and cairo egypt. i know that your just trying to make a point(i hope), but i'm a little nitpicky when it comes to the topic of race.

if your point is that banning of same sex marriage is just as preposterous, i agree whole heartedly. i have no problems with two people that love each other wanting to be legally recognized as being together.

You realize that the OP is sarcastic, right?

Yes, it is. It's more or less a meaningless concept because the genetic variation within a "race" greatly oustrips variation between "races".

Well, there certainly are benefits in race mixing, in which he succintly pointed those out. Moreover, the point he makes is valid and shows the irony in the situation.

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.
Speak for yourself. People from both same race and interracial marriage are able to work, think and add a lot of things to society.

You also show an ignorance of science by saying that evolution is a goal, when it is in fact a process that happens naturally, without anyone consciously striving for it.

Such eugenic and totalitarian proposal as yours (though different in their particular path to "improve the population") is thought by most to be a museum piece for Nazi Germany, but as we can see it still is alive. Not only with you (whom I'm still not sure is kidding or not), but in the many eugenic groups out there which still defend euthanasia, abortion and basically the killing of everyone who is not "perfect". Such is what happens when people lose the notion that evolution is a scientific theory to explain reality, and take it as an end they need to pursue.

ooooh. My thread has been revived.

For everyone who has missed it : THE OP IS NOT SERIOUS BESIDES AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A POINT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT SAME RACE MARRIAGES SHOULD BE BANNED.

You think that that is enough emphasis?

You really think that same-race marriages should be banned? Shame on you...
