Then report it. Stop bleating about preferential treatment and bias in an open thread (this goes for everyone). Unlike the Staff, you are not employed to enforce the Rules. Basically, put up or shut up.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I am not calling out anyone. The title "Christians" was mostly random and not intended to "force" any Christian to answer

That's why GC won't make a formal report about it. He knows it's not flouting any Rules, but playing the persecution card tickles his martyr chip. It's the religious equivalent of public masturbation.

Because literally everything on this planet plants and animals are distant cousins to us and we eat them. Wouldn't Adam and Eve also
have fucked animals too if we shared DNA.
Why? Do we do that nowadays? Plus humans can't reproduce with other species.
Quote:Humans have one pair fewer chromosomes than other apes, with ape chromosomes 2 and 4 fusing into a large chromosome (which contains remnants of the centromere and telomeres of the ancestral 2 and 4).[3] Having different numbers of chromosomes is not an absolute barrier to hybridization; similar mismatches are relatively common in existing species, a phenomenon known as chromosomal polymorphism.
All great apes have similar genetic structure. Chromosomes 6, 13, 19, 21, 22, and X are structurally the same in all great apes. Chromosomes 3, 11, 14, 15, 18, and 20 match between gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans. Chimps and humans match on 1, 2p, 2q, 5, 7–10, 12, 16, and Y as well. Some older references include Y as a match between gorillas, chimps, and humans, but chimpanzees (including bonobos) and humans have recently been found to share a large transposition from chromosome 1 to Y not found in other apes.[4]
This degree of chromosomal similarity is roughly equivalent to that found in equines. Interfertility of horses and donkeys is common, although sterility of the offspring (mules) is nearly universal (with only around 60 exceptions recorded in equine history[5]). Similar complexities and prevalent sterility pertain to horse–zebra hybrids, or zorses, whose chromosomal disparity is very wide, with horses typically having 32 chromosome pairs and zebras between 16 and 23 depending on species. In a direct parallel to the chimp–human case, the Przewalski's Horse (Equus przewalskii) with 33 chromosome pairs, and the domestic horse (E. caballus) with 32 pairs, have been found to be interfertile, and produce semi-fertile offspring: male hybrids can breed with female domestic horses.[6]
Maybe we can.

Well were looking into making human animal hybrids so... well humanity will have it's subclass of humans soon.

Oh, grow the fuck up.
The "calling out" rule is only in reference to calling someone out in a new thread. I can mention your name all I want.
God's Child, God's child. It's not calling you out in a thread where I am responding to something absolutely retarded you posted.
If I am so ignorant of scripture, then why is it you provided no rebuttal to what I had posted other than your tripe and misguided complaint?

Of course, their sons, daughters, cousins intermarried.
As time went by, the races obviously selected within themselves who to marry (as they mostly do today).
This selection weakened available genetic diversity, and the further compressing of the pool continued by people groups' language and congregating in areas removed from broader interaction.
To the point where inbreeding is a danger to people now-
As witnessed by the Muslim's acceptance to marrying first cousins and lowering Muslim aggregate IQs.
So, were Noah and his immediate family somehow gifted with this "huge genetic pool" when your gawd destroyed everything and started over?

Where in the Bible is incest described as a sin? Isn't it just one of those things Christians assume is in there because it matches their own views, like only "one man, one woman" marriages being acceptable despite the rampant condoned polygamy and concubines, and God considering the killing of humans in utero to be the crime of murder when the punishment was a mere fine in Old Testament law?
"Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don't grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."

Read this http://www.gotquestions.org/incest-in-the-Bible.html it explains it.
