Racism sucks.

Short version. Mixed race couple aren't allowed to marry in the church she has went to for years. Quote:
"Parties of such marriages will not be received as members, nor will they be used in worship services and other church functions, with the exception being funerals"
It gets better:
"This recommendation is not intended to judge the salvation of anyone, but is intended to promote greater unity among the church body and the community we serve"
Greater unity?
Permitting funerals probably means that the problem eventually goes away... This is the sort of balatant, backwards racism, where the choir should wear white robes with pointy hats, and the cross outside should be burning.
Has anyone ever pointed out to these half-wits that all those biblical characters that you claim to love, were all from the Middle East? We don't know what the cast of the Testaments looked like, but if you ignore medieval church art, there's little or no chance they were as white as this Gerbil's knees.
If Jesus came knocking on the door, would you let him in?
