Disclaimer! IF you cannot talk like a decent human being here, do not even post. Which basically means not racism, or bigotry or whatever else that is not acceptable. In this day and age we need to be able to talk about the hard matters to finally get past all of it or we will never advance properly as a society. Sure, science will always advance, the rich will get richer, so on and so forth. But what about the poor. Racism is still a part of their life I think, as we have seen in other news today. Religon is also a part of many lives.
Supposedly, God was so mad that humans became so smart and full of themselves when they were building this Tower called Babel, that he dispersed the population all over the world. Different languages, races, etc. From what I remember in Bible Studies.
Also, it is written somewhere that Religous people are not supposed to be "Gay " ( not trying to be disrespectful for saying this).
So I am assuming, that the only reason any government ever even outlawed same sexes from marrying is because of religous reasons. We pretty much know this.
Can we assume the same for racial problems as well? And if so, then why is one allowed by most Christian Based religions and not the other?

Homosexuality is specifically condemned in the Bible, pretty clearly, on more than one occasion. However, in the Bible noone is ever commanded to hate gays, or treat them poorly. The activity is comdemned (like fornication, lying, etc) but people who go beyond that and show hatred to gays aren't acting in a christian manner. Now as far as interracial marriages, they weren't comdemned in the Bible. People were warned, on occasion, against marrying foreigners, but this was on the basis of marrying someone of a different faith, not race.
So in short, racial problems are due to people being awful to one another, not religion. Through all eras, those who truly embraced Christian morals would not have looked down on other races.
