Most understand such changes to be due to the continuous and increasing intermarriage between ethnic groups that is sure to increase dramatically in the future.
No. I can't let this stand, Loran. What about blacks being less valiant in the preexistence? What about the curse of Cain?
Come ON.
Loran,
Be honest. You can only bend truth for so long until it makes U turn and completely becomes a pretzel. What you stated makes NO sense at all in light of LDS doctrine/teachings.
Come ON!

Jersey Girl, your frustration stems from your assumption that Droopy bases his political beliefs and personal value judgments on his belief in Mormonism. It is the other way around. Droopy bases his interpretation of Mormonism on his a priori political beliefs and personal value judgments.
Droopy is apparently ignorant of the fact that the church has always taught, and continues to teach to this very day, that Mormons should only marry Mormons of the same race.
So much for "the continuous and increasing intermarriage between ethnic groups that is sure to increase dramatically in the future."
Not among Mormons.

Sick indeed, as well as delusional.
I consider that a personal attack. My personal values are honesty and love.....try them sometime.

I am sorry to hear that Droopy no longer believes in either the Book of Mormon or the Book of Abraham.
There are programs of recovery for lawyers, Darth. First, admit you have a problem...

I am so old that I can remember when most of the people promoting race hate were white.
Actually, as far as lawyers go, 12 steps may not be nearly enough. It may even take 39.

Well said, Droopy. Once I follow your comprehensive program of divorcing fact from assertion and evidence from treating value judgments as objective fact, I will be well on my way to "recovery" as you conceive it.

Do you dispute that the Book of Mormon says that the Lamanites were given a dark skin because they rejected God, or that the Book of Abraham teaches that "Pharaoh" was of the lineage that could not hold the priesthood?
