Well they certainly weren’t African Americans that’s a fact

You know so much about the Bible; answer me this:
The book of Numbers 12:1-10: This passage tells the story of Miriam and Aaron speaking against their brother Moses because he had married a Cu****e woman. Cu****ies were typically associated with dark skin color.
The question then is, what skin color were Moses and his brothers?

There is light-skin / dark-skin racism in the Middle East and Africa today. There is a good book about this and I'll add the title as soon as I can remember it.

They were brown. Just like all Egyptians. You do know that there are multiple shades of brown? Or do you truly believe that if they're not dark brown, they must be white?

Hamites (another name for the background of Zipporah, Moses' wife) were also brown. They were not nearly as dark brown as people from Ethiopia at the time, but darker than most Egyptians. The word you referred to that the vulgarity filter asterisked out, comes from the word Cush, which was the son of Noah. People who are "of Cush" were Cush.. ites. They descended from the son of Noah, who was from an area within the country now known as Iraq. They were ALSO brown.

And yet - they are still shades of brown. None of them are, or were, Caucasian. Nor was Jesus, as he was an Israelite, and brown.

The Bible is probably one of the most violent books ever written. Human sacrifices, men thrown into furnaces, swallowed by whales, nailed to crosses, killing babies, destroying cities...it goes on and on. It's also a work of fiction!

And... IF there is to be any legislation requiring that books containing "violence" and "vulgarity" be removed from school libraries and curricula, then the bible should be #1 on that list. Old and new testament, the whole series.

IF they're not willing to remove the Bible, then they need to get rid of that legislation.

Prove it. A lot of scholars and scientists have tried, but none have succeeded to prove it fiction. It is historically and mathematically correct. You have a choice to believe it or not believe it, but not believing it does not make it fiction. OK, let me back track. There are a few parables that are included and are fiction.

Sure, and get rid of ALL history text books, because the document world wars and lots of killing. Wow, and don't forget the dropping of atom bombs on Japan and carpet bombing too. Let's censure anything that shows violent history because Americans are soooo sensitive.

Some of us actually believe in our chosen religion.

" Month," this pride cr_p has been going on for two years.
Have you noticed everything is now rainbows with no pot of gold at the end? Just sickening!

I agree. I thought the whole rainbow thing was related to Lucky Charms, when in reality it was more like Fruit Loops.
