The Bible does not speak against interracial marriage. Those verses are about Israelites — the special, magical people that Yahweh created and endowed with its own divine breath — from marrying or procreating with any non-Israelites or outsiders. As with most of the Bible — especially the old testament — it’s not about you and is irrelevant to you, your life, and your culture.

    To be fair, Nolan isn't wrong: saying that racist shit really is worse than trying to shoot Reagan.

    That's really fucking funny, but not surprising.

    I lived in Alabama 20 years. The evangelicals are really nuts. They live in a hallucination of their own creation. You have to hang out with them to really understand. They are stoned on jesus and operating with diminished capacity.

    I really love it when people refer to each other online with their (probably) real names on their usernames.

    Since my ban for telling people not to celebrate "kys post" is over I can say Ezra 9:2 quote is weird.

    The Bible is specific to it's time and culture and it's complaining about Israelites marrying people in the areas and can't translate to interracial marriages since back then Israel was a nation and the people marrying would genetically be the same
