I'm sorely tempted to start a thread against intermarriage, religious tolerance, and inter-faith relationships as I think your harmless so called "rights" threatens the continued exsistance of my and all races.

This is a CHRISTIAN nation after all.

Quote:

Exodus 34
12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.



Exodus 23
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.



Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.



Do not allow your sons (who believe in Christ) to marry the enemies unbelieving daughters. Do not give your daughters, who are believers, to marry the enemies unbelieving sons.



Now I only bring this up because it clearly demonstrates how some bigots, Herbert Armstrong, founder of the Worldwide Church of God for one(ironically one of the 1st places I turned to when studying the bible in my youth), once used the Bible itself to prohibit interracial marriages. As you can see those passages can be used to justify all sorts of b.s. not just intermarriage but allowing religious tolerance and condonig wartime rape.

Now on this passage, I dunno....It's a little troubling given the fact that Milosevich is on trial for war crimes which included rape:

Quote:

[When ancient Israel went to battle against foreign nations, and they chose to make war against Israel, God commanded His nation to] smite the males, "But the women, and the little ones . . . shalt thou take unto thyself' (Deut.20:14).



God said further, "When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies. . . and seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; then thou shalt bring her home to thy house . . . and she shall. . . remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife" (Deut24:10-13).
