There's a difference between being smart and being loved.
It is to people who interpret Sacred Scripture differently than you do.
AMEN!They should be loved.
There are likely things that you believe are sinful, which other Christians do not believe are sinful. Applying the same logic, should those Christians conclude that you are deceived by Satan?It still is not a sin. People who claim it is are deceived by Satan.
They grow up and become president in some cases, apparently.
I think it evens out anyway, from the aspect of discrimination that children will face. A lighter-skinned "biracial" child will generally face less color discrimination than a darker skinned "black" child, and more color discrimination than a "white" child.
Is masturbation a sin?Sin is only a sin if God says it is
Yes, and not all purples approve of light-skinned purples.Not all blacks approve of light-skinned blacks.

King Solomon was supposed to have foreign wives including from Egypt, Moab (Jordan) and Turkey/Syria (Hittites); 1 Kings 11:1-10.Just something I’ve been wondering, I’ve heard it many times it’s a sin to be in one, but have never really heard any reason or purpose why.
It is good to hate those things, but I do not think that we must conclude that people are deceived by Satan if they conclude something differently than us.I'm not here to please racists. A lot of people have prejudices; you might say I hate racism, I hate child abuse, I hate murder, etc.
True, a dictator can torture his people, but the Lord can still make his people happy. Does that excuse the dictator?Happiness comes from a relationship with our Lord Jesus, and that is something that a person can have regardless of his complexion.
Well yes, from a biological standpoint the concept of different "races" appears to be nonsense. Races do not exist except as constructs in our own minds. I think you can rule out sin based on that alone.It certainly is not. God knows only one race - the human race. That includes black humans, who were the ones He originally created, and the various lighter-skinned races which gradually evolved as humans spread out across the Earth from Central Africa where they were first created.
No, and that is why we should punish people who engage in the sin of racism, just as we should punish a dictator who tortures his people.True, a dictator can torture his people, but the Lord can still make his people happy. Does that excuse the dictator?
what happens is that good people defend the children from those who hate and work to educate and enlighten them This is a duty no matter what the children's skin color or potential handicap or orientation or religion.But until they do, what happens to the children?
I have.I've never heard anyone say this.
