Kentucky church bans interracial marriage

I know it is in Kentucky and it's a Baptist church and there are only 40 members and only 9 whack jobs voted for it but seriously. Do they not know it's 2011 and most of us realize that this line of thinking is just plain bat **** crazy?

A small Kentucky church has chosen to ban marriages and even some worship services for interracial couples. The Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church, located in Pike County, made the vote in response to a longtime member who is engaged to a man whose birthplace is in Zimbabwe.

Leaving the cultural aspect aside, most traditional churches are suffering from declining membership, so this vote would seem to be a self inflicted wound to this church.

As I understand it this is being driven by the pastor. Hmmm...small church small community. He probably wants a congregation like Phelps where it is all family. (PUKE) I take it this pastor never saw the movie 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'.

The church might as well give up. In these United States there is no more racial identity. We are all one big happy mixed race family. get used to it.

That has been my thought. If we are all truly equal then there is no need for assistance, stats, etc. based in race.

Think of the money that could be saved by removing the race question from government and employment forms.

What is your race? Answer: Mixed

Why not just eliminate the question altogether?

I am not quite sure how to interpret this.

While I abhor their decision. We have freedom of and from religion. Apparently most of the parishioners left and the remainder voted that way.

Looks like inbreeding to me.
