Thompson put forth a recommendation saying that while all members are welcome at the church, it does not "condone" interracial marriage, and that any interracial couples would not be received as members or allowed to participate in worship services. The only exception? Funerals.



Members of the church held a vote on Thompson's proposed language, with nine voting in favor and six voting against. The other members in attendance chose not to vote.





WTF?!

I wonder which one's daughter is seeing a non white.

Hey it's Kentucky. I'm sure it's OK to attend if you're banging your family members though.

That is some messed up stuff right there. I'm sure the public scrutiny this church will get shows that most people think this is horrible.

Does that mean a white dude cannot marry a chick who is blue from too much meth?

Yeah, cause everyone knows Jesus wasn't about love.



I hate organized religion for this reason. I know it is not all religion, and that a majority would distance themselves from the message they are spewing. However, it paints all religion with a broad brush and bad color.
