If in 2008, approximately 1 out of 5 members of an Apostolic Christian forum were against interracial marriage (20%...your numbers)... do you not consider those numbers to be disturbing?

Are you really serious with this?

So according to your own estimate, maybe 20% of Apostolics have a problem with interracial relationships and marriages......and you're making it sound like you think that's an acceptable number!!??

Think about that -- we're talking about 1 out of 5 "saints".
Good grief.

Thumper,

Please read my entry post! I never affirmed CAF's entire membership roster as anti-interracial marriage, thus rendering your accusations preposterous and absurd!

You stated: "general discourse on this subject was overwhelmingly positive towards interracial marriage."

In overwhelming one must overcome by superior force or numbers. In this circumstance the numbers were 20% opposing interracial marriage.It's that percentage that misrepresents your forum! Get your facts straight sir, I've not misrepresented nobody!

Once again I never lied! You confirmed the percentage in a previous post.



p.s. stay away from country music, it's polluting your soul!

Absolutely not! My point was that author of this thread is intentionally misrepresenting the majority opinion on CAF on this subject. For whatever reason, I can't begin to speculate, he has chosen to try and run down that forum. I would suggest that 20 percent is unacceptable but I don't think that 20 percent is the actual number. The poll he started got a total of about 30 responses and 40 votes and faded off into obscurity within 2 days. I never saw it and never voted in the poll. So add 1 more to the "no problem with it" catergory. I suggest that if another poll was taken and kept alive for a week or so the percentages would even lower. Low enough to be considered statistically insignifficant. this thread was started with the express purpose of degrading another forum. I'm just setting the record strait.

This is a subject that has recently came up at my church.

We have a young lady that invited a young man to church one night. She's white...he's black....They are both just starting college classes.

Anyway after church at dinner with pastor and his daughter and her family, Pastor asked if we knew who had invited the young man. He commented on how polite he was and just seemed to be a good guy.

When I told him that this young lady brought him he remarked "I hope she isnt' thinking of dating him!"

mind you I have NEVER been around ministers that have had an issue with interracial relationships. I said...well maybe later on when he gets in church.

I got shot the funniest looks. I just stared at the pastor's daughter and she whispered..."she doesn't need to date a black man at all is his point"

Im still infuriated about it. Its pure ignorance.

IMHO...that "think about the children" line is usually just nonsense to cover up latent prejudices that people have toward these types of relationships.

THEY don't want to accept it, so they say stuff like "society wont accept it".

Too many times there's just a lot of hypocrisy with that, plain and simple.
