He put the jabbering aborigines and native americans in Australia and the Americas respectivley.
Wouldnt it stand to reason he would only want the races to copulte with eachother since that was his plan?
Thought experiment time.
It's 1800 and missionaries go to proclaim the gospel to natives in South America. They get shipwrecked and are stuck there permanently. Is it then immoral for them to intermarry? After all, it would seem to contradict God's plan, and that is the one thing that is immoral. Right?
No. The missionaries should take a vow of celibacy and chastity rather than contravene God's plans. They can likely better focus on evangelization without the distractions of sex, marriage and children.
Can you imagine a priest who is henpecked and has children to look after? I can't either!. It would not make for a holy and commited priest, let me tell you

I doubt race as a concept would have existed back then anyway. Sure there were different ethnic groups in the Middle East and conflict between them, but they would have all had fairly similar physical features that, if they were in plain clothes or naked, would have left them indistinguishable.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.

Juggling is ordinarily a talent, but it is bothersome when Christians do it. I commend you for not juggling. For sticking to your guns no matter how bass ackwards your views are.
But a huge problem is... well... you seem to be saying that you can infer God's plan by looking at nature, and homosexuality is natural. Therefore God's plan includes homosexuality.

When I was a teenager in Missouri (1970s), I danced with a black girl at a school function. The following Sunday, the preacher's wife had a special Sunday school session with my sister and I about how 'God hates a mixture'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

It's funny how god doesn't hate that so much anymore. It's almost like he changes to fit in with the people who worship him.

Yeah, getting "you people"  to think outside the box you want to live in is quite a task
You continue to mistake your posts as 'thinking outside the box'. Your parsimonious way of turning everything you post about into a diatribe about how much you hate x or y is not profound, it's not unique, and it's not particularly interesting.
If there's an issue with multiracial/interracial relationships and offspring, then using language like 'mongrels'is only going to perpetuate that, no? You talk of societal and structural exclusions. You ever stop to think that maybe you're the one doing the excluding?
Interracial, nay, race per se means precisely nothing to me. You appear to settle on these apparent barriers as being insurmountable when, in fact, the very fact that me and millions of others like me care little for race as an indentifyer is surely evidence to the contrary.
I don't really know why I bother responding to you. So I guess I just won't ever again unless in an official capacity.
