my friend was saying that when one parent is of mixed race descent ie black parent + white parent, white parent + white parent, mixed race + white parent could the child pop out black or would it be progresivly lighter?

I thought it would be progresivly lighter and lighter through the generations? who's right?

Anyone believe it or have stories? I've seen things in the sky that I can't explain, but don't believe it was another life form.

I'm rueful to admit it, but I was deceived three separate times at the same nude pool party (and permitted to feel them, at that) by three different women I'd met for the first time..

Just interested in your views. Reams of rant welcome ;-o

I don't actually believe in god, so I find the prescriptive trappings of religion quite bizarre.

38 people chimed in with the fact that the examples i was bringing up were old testament and do no apply to today's christian religion. If this is true then why do christians quote the old testament when claiming homosexuality is a sin. Jesus never mentions it. it is mentioned in the OT with such horrible crimes as fornicators, drunkards, thieves, revilers, idolaters and extortioners. But then again there were 3 homosexual relationships that go unpunished in the bible
Ruth and Naomi
David and Jonathan
Daniel and Ashpenaz
Homosexual activity in the temple by male prostitutes is clearly prohibited by the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament).
Prostitution, both heterosexual and homosexual is generally condemned.
Sexual abuse of boys by adult males is condemned
St. Paul considered at least some male and female homosexual acts to be forbidden, but it is unclear precisely which acts are included. He may have been referring to:
temple prostitution,
people who are not innately gay, lesbian or bisexual, but who engaged in homosexual acts,
to child sexual abuse, or
group sexual orgies.
Paul was certainly aware of sexual orgies in Pagan temples, including both heterosexual and homosexual encounters. He would have been aware of the practice of male adults keeping a boy for sexual purposes. These may have been the only forms of same gender sex that he knew of. He did not appear to make any references in his writings to consentual, committed homosexual relationships. He probably did not know of any.

One should note that Paul also condemned women preaching (1 Cor 14:34) or wearing gold or pearls (1 Tim 2:11). He also accepted and did not condemn the institution of slavery. Many Christians feel that his writings reflect his own prejudices are not a particularly useful guide for ethics and morals in the 20th Century.

Jesus made many hundreds of statements regarding belief and behavior. However He never mentioned homosexuality.
It is the subject of endless debate whether St. Paul’s prohibition of at least some homosexual acts was:
for the people in the vicinity of the Mediterranean during the 1st Century CE, or
for all people, forever.

Is this a case of analysis paralysis? or is it just something I will have to accept? If doing good gives my life meaning and makes me feel good is this feeding my ego? HELP!
