Some of the same people that are racist are the same ones that claim they believe in the bible.
The bible says that we all originated from Adam and Eve.
Why is there so much racism between such "christians"?

To clarify the situation, I believe in the Bible myself.
I am just disgusted that some people who claim to be christians are indeed racist.
The usage of the term "theory" was directed to the people who don't believe in the bible, not that I condone them, but out of respect for evryone.

I agree. Racism is wrong and not justified by any christian doctrine. Those that try to use religion as a basis for their hatred don't understand the Bible or live by its teachings.
We are also all related to Noah and his family. We are all Brothers and Sisters!

Yeah pick on the Christians. Ignore the fact Irish were killing each other over a difference in christian religins. Muslims kill each other over differences in the Muslim religion. Ignore the fact the Arabs hate the Jews although they both claim to have come from Abraham.Talk about a family squabble.
And I do believe in the Bible. I just am not going to use it for scientific or historical purposes. I guideline for how to live life yeah. *LOL* It beats the hell out of any philosophy book I know of. And it beats the Adam and Steve theory that is push so much today.

Adam and Eve are not a "theory", they are an unproven hypothesis with no evidence. Evolution is a theory because of its abundence of evidence.
Christianity teaches people that their faith seperates them from others. They are superior. If they're not crapping on someone because of race, they'll do it to gays, different religions or whatever. That way, even if they sin, they still are assured they are still better than those (___fill in the blank__).
This ploy worked for Hitler, it worked for Catholics, it worked for Spanish, English, French, republicans, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, the Mormons, on and on. It's a time tested method of drawing a following. It makes people feel good about themselves whether it's logically warranted or not.

Sad isn't it? Goes back to Cain and Able. The bible says God put a mark on Cain after he killed his brother so that the other children of Adam and Eve could recognize the descendants of Cain and not intermarry with, or harm them. Many people have decided that dark skin color is that mark. But they conveniently forget that God didn't want them harmed. By the way, Noah's son Ham married a decedent of Cain so that the line would be preserved after the flood.

Curious. Can you cite a well known advocate of racial reconciliation (e.g. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Mr. Luther) who is not Christian?
Note: Malcom X was not interested in reconciliation as much as black empowerment.
Note: Why do black cabbies in NYC not pick up black people late at night (e.g. Danny Glover's lawsuit)
Note: Why did Native Americans scalp each other before white men entered the picture?

what do you expect from a bunch of inbreedin, toothless, tabacco chewin, redneck hicks?
the concept that somebody prefers the idea that he is basically mating with a direct relative, since we all come from Adam and Eve, rather than entertaining the idea that we might have evolved from a primate is disturbing in itself.
But i guess there are geographical regions where humpin sis is considered more, excuse the term, evolved, than gettn it on with dinner, cause them monkeys do make some dang good Barbeque.....you cook em just right and they almost taste like squirrel....

Please don't catergorize people. Racists aren't Christians, no matter what they themselves say. Just because a person says they are a Christian doesn't mean they are. Many people in all religions over the world call themselves something but don't follow all the rules listed in their religion and don't believe all the beliefs in their religion.
Racism is here because of sin. Because of human error, because of egos and envy. There is no such thing as an individual sin, it always affects others.

adam and eve are real people and to say they arn't just to make other peolpe feel good isn't right. we must never deny the truth just to make people feel good. the races came about during the tower of babal. satan is the father of racist. christians who are prejudice should ask themselves are they really a christian. GOD is the FATHER of us all.

Because Chritians are run by their own "private interpretation of Scripture" instead of doing what GOD said to do, that being "rightly divide the Word of truth"

Well the Adam and Eve story (it's not a theory) is a load of crap, and even if it were true, people don't justify racism by saying that people aren't extremely distantly related to them.
