In America, an employer can't legally discriminate on the basis of skin color, but it's totally okay for a church to do it.

Who was it going to harm?
I know why they did this! Because it's exactly what jesus would've done. Everyone knows that jesus hated dark skinned people.

It's their fan club, they can do whatever they want with it. Bet they could throw a rock and hit another church, time to go shopping for someone who will provide the service they're seeking.

So, let me see if I can get this straight: two black people want to marry, but some part of the congregation refused to allow it because of their race, and they've been regular congregants? Can someone explain the part of this that makes sense?

WWJD? Apparently, this church thinks he would tell black people to go fuck themselves.
