[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2859507, member: 24302"] The problem with the slavery part is that it wasn't just black/white in biblical times. The slavery experienced in the States could certainly be described as non-Christian. But back then it was the accepted order of the day. Before some get their hackles up I'm just pointing out the reality of a totally different world. As for separation of races, are you referring to Samson and Delilah? If so then an ethnic thing, not racial. Solomon took great pleasure in a black wife. But consider this, and I've said this before...you are married to a white woman and no one is burning crosses in your yard, lynching you, bombing your church. It's an important issue to you and there will always be haters. But most of the world has moved on. There are those who are always going to assume certain things because I'm a white Southern male. You just can't win with some people. Progress is rarely as fast as we'd like and what's considered progress by some is a huge step back by others. What matters these days is that you can live your life in relative peace. [/QUOTE]
