Kentucky church bans interracial couples
Christians... proudly marching forward into the 14th century.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

I wonder what part of the bible condedmns interracial marriage? I'm sure you could justify it somewhere in that book.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

In 78 or 79 I went to a HS dance and danced with a girl of a different race. The following Sunday, the preacher's wife did her Sunday School lesson on how 'God hates a mixture'. Granted, that was last century.

If I wanted to use the bible to justify banning interracial couples, I'd probably look to the curse of Ham or something.

Don't forget they elected that douchebag Rand Paul to their list of abominations.
