Interracial Couples Banned From Church

[fujimoh]

This is what Democracy looks like

"In a move to "promote greater unity" among its body and the Pike County community it serves, a small Kentucky church voted to ban interracial couples from membership and from participating in certain worship activities, Kentucky.com reports."

Tyranny of the majority.

I have no problem with it... If the majority doesn't want you there, your only reason for being there is to cause problems... It's not a government sponsored entity so they have the right to refuse anyone for any backwards bigoted reason they want...

I doubt their original intent was to cause problems...maybe they just wanted to go to church.


Also, I don't think anyone here was upset about the legality of the decision, just the stupidity.

I dunno... If the vote was taken in secret, then yeah, they probably weren't trying to cause any problems... If they knew about the vote beforehand, the writting is on the way... I mean, if something like that has to go to a vote... even if it ends up in your favor, it's not really a place you should want to be. Fuck that shit.

It just makes me think of those situations where it's a little more obvious... people aren't tolerant of me, so I'm going to force it down their throats...

And here I thought religions were supposed to preach love and tolerance towards others. Oh thats right, its only if you believe in what MY religion says.
