Dem white suthernurs shore are smart!

[Al B. Sure!]

Probably because the results are not that different and would ruin their REPUG bashing.

But it does NOT ruin Southern bashing!

[Barnabas]

Aren't white southerners very religious? How can you be religious and be against interracial marriage? It goes agaisnt the idea that God created humans, and that humans are equal

[loinburger]

It works the other way - people use the bible to justify opposition to interracial marriage

Slavery also appears in several places in the bible (as in, the Israelites had slaves), so it's probably easier to use the bible as justification that humans aren't equal than that they are

30 Reasons for Segregation of Races

by Finis Dake

Acts 17:26

And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; (KJV)

God wills all races to be as He made them. Any violation of God’s original purpose manifests insubordination to Him(Acts 17:26; Romans 9:19-24)
God made everything to reproduce “After his own kind” (Genesis 1:11-12, 21-25; 6:20; 7:14). Kind means type and color or He would have kept them all alike to begin with.
God originally determined the bounds of the habitations of nations(Acts 17:26; Genesis 10:5, 32; 11:8; Deuteronomy 32:8)
Miscegenation means the mixture of races, especially the black and white races, or those of outstanding type or color. The Bible even goes farther than opposing this. It is against different branches of the same stock intermarrying such as Jews marrying other descendants of Abraham(Ezra 9-10; Nehemiah 9-13; Jeremiah 50:37; Ezekiel 30:5).
Abraham forbad Eliezer to take a wife for Isaac of Canaanites (Genesis 24:1-4). God was so pleased with this that He directed whom to get (Genesis 24:7, 12-27).
Isaac forbad Jacob to take a wife of the Canaanites (Genesis 27:46-28:7).
Abraham sent all his sons of the concubines, and even of his second wife, far away from Isaac so their descendants would not mix (Genesis 25:1-6)
Esau disobeying this law brought the final break between him and his father after lifelong companionship with him(Genesis 25:28; 26:34-35, 27:46; 28:8-9).
The two branches of Isaac remained segregated forever (Genesis 30; 46:8-26).
Ishmael and Isaac’s descendants remained segregated forever (Genesis 25:12-23; 1 Chronicles 1:29)
Jacob’s sons destroyed a whole city to maintain segregation (Genesis 34)
God forbad intermarriage between Israel and all other nations (Exodus 34:12-16; Deuteronomy 7:5-6)
Joshua forbad the same thing on sentence of death (Joshua 22:12-13)
God cursed angels for leaving their own “first estate” and “their own habitation” to marry the daughters of men (Genesis 6:1-4; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6-7)
Miscegenation caused Israel to be cursed (Judges 3:6-7; Numbers 25:1-8)
This was Solomon’s sin (I Kings 11)
This was the sin of Jews returning from Babylon (Ezra 9:1-10:2,10-18,44; 13:1-30)
God commanded Israel to be segregated (Leviticus 20:24; Numbers 23:9; 1 Kings 8:53)
Jews recognized as a separate people in all ages because of Gods choice and command (Matthew 10:6; John 1:11). Equal rights in the gospel gives no right to break this eternal law.
Segregation between Jews and all other nations to remain in all eternity (Isaiah 2:2-4; Ezekiel 37; 47:13-48,55; Zechariah 14:16-21; Matthew 19:28; Luke 1:32-33; Revelation 7:1-8; 14:1-5)
All nations will remain segregated from one another in their own parts of the earth forever (Acts 17:26; Genesis 10:5,32; 11:8-9; Deuteronomy 32:8; Daniel 7:13-14; Zechariah 14; Revelation 11:15; 21:24)
Certain people in Israel were not even to worship with others (Deuteronomy 23:1-5; Ezra 10:8; Nehemiah 9:2 10:28; 13:3)
Even in heaven certain groups will not be allowed to worship together (Revelation 7:7-17; 14:1-5; 15:2-5)
Segregation was so strong in the O.T. that an ox and an ass could not work together (Deuteronomy 22:10).
Miscegenation caused disunity among God’s people (Numbers 12).
Stock was forbidden to be bred with other kinds (Leviticus 19:19).
Sowing mixed seed in the same field was unlawful (Leviticus 19:19)
Different seeds were forbidden to be planted in vineyards (Deuteronomy 22:9)
Wearing garments of mixed fabrics forbidden (Deuteronomy 22:11; Leviticus 19:19)
Christians and certain other people of a like race are to be segregated (Matthew 18:15-17; 1 Corinthians 5:9-13; 6:15; 2 Corinthians 6:14-15; Ephesians 5:11; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-16; 1 Timothy 6:5; 2 Timothy 3:5).

[Whoha]

Those gosh darn white suthernurs.

To southern republicans for having the courage to challenge fat women and pathetic men even in the face of the charge of racism.

[giblets]

Aren't white southerners very religious? How can you be religious and be against interracial marriage? It goes agaisnt the idea that God created humans, and that humans are equal

Where does the Bible say all humans are equal?

[Al B. Sure!]

To southern republicans for having the courage to challenge fat women and pathetic men even in the face of the charge of racism.

Huh? I see nothing about fat women or 'pathetic' men, whatever that means, in the article.

[giblets]

Probably because the results are not that different and would ruin their REPUG bashing.

If 46% of a group of people want interracial marriage to be illegal, they kind of deserve to be bashed.

[Al B. Sure!]

By the way, what's with the tags on this article?

Tagged: haley barbour, interracial marriage, mike huckabee, missisippi republicans, mississippi, mississippi gop primary voters, newt gingrich, public policy polling, sarah palin

Definitely biased reporting. Look at the tags.

interracial marriage and religious nuts: God made humans into different races; therefore, we are not meant to mix with different races

[MrFun]

Does MrFun have any studies to support the assertion that white Americans are more opposed to miscegenation than non-white Americans, or is he being racist as usual?

You way too PC.

[loinburger]

It's more that I get the impression that you've only ever interacted with hypothetical non-white people.

[Al B. Sure!]

He's from Iowa.

Whoah nelly. Iowa is 95.79% white. That's even whiter than I had anticipated.

[Whoha]

I wasn't being redundant, both apply to different relationships.

[Al B. Sure!]

I wasn't being redundant, both apply to different relationships.

Huh? I'm still lost.

Just explain what does this mean:

To southern republicans for having the courage to challenge fat women and pathetic men even in the face of the charge of racism.

I don't get it. How are these people being opposed to 'miscegenation' turn into 'courage to challenge fat women and pathetic men"? Are you saying that every interracial marriage involves a fat woman and a pathetic man?
