Miscegnation has nothing to do with religion. It is a mixing of races. So, I guess we are all entitled to our opinions, but I do not see a connection to world peace at all here.
Intermarriage does, and that's the question asked in the title of the thread. But you're right; miscegenation refers to race, not religion.
While the title of the thread may denote that, Ken, Lon specified miscegnation which is what I was responding to.
I see nothing wrong with interracial marriage as long as they are of opposite sex. Marriage between different religions can sometimes be a problem:
When it comes to race and marriage, there are certain races that keep marriage to their race, as in people from India. When we lived in Jacksonville, Florida, where the Indian population was growing fairly rapidly, we only seen Indian people with other Indian people. When we lived in Colorado before, we lived across the street (housing development) from a very nice couple. The husband was an ex-Marine Drill Sargent and his wife was from the Philippines. They met when he was stationed in the Philippines. She made the most tasty shrimp and rice dish and would always bring us some when she made it. Heck, we were even invited, and went, to their daughter's graduation party. Had a blast. To this day, we will think about SP (her nickname) and that shrimp/rice dish she gave us.
Your opinion concerning world peace is thought worthy but because of the latest viral development, world peace is already established without messing with religion or a mixing of the races. I mean, I haven’t heard of a single drop of blood being spilled on a battlefield since the virus made the headlines. We are indeed in need of a good round of Kumbaya. C’mon, everybody sing !!....Kumbaya my Lord....
Bobby Cole...you wanted to know how I feel about interracial marriages? My own private thoughts are: I don't like them! Harold

Ah, so since you wrote that you do not “like” them, would I be correct in writing that there is some wiggle room meaning that you absolutely could care less as opposed to more? On the other hand, if you had written that you “hated” them then the proposition would be that you could not care less or using the contraction, couldn’t.
My answer is very simple...as long as they are getting married and not just living together...I'm happy for them.
Our attitudes about a lot of things are a result of where you grew up and when you were born. You absorb the norms of time and place, but the world changes over time and you have to adjust to the new norms or live in the past. I think I have adjusted so If something doesn't affect me directly I couldn't give a hoot. As far as interracial marriage goes, I've tried to apply logic to it. Can persons of different races be friends? Why not? Can they be best friends? Sure. How about friends with benefits? Why not. May as well make it official.
