Is this what mormons believe?

My point is that using your “stats” though you probably meant well is just the same mindset as rabid racists.

You don’t even know me. I am about as far from racist - much less “rabid racist” as anyone can get. You seem to have some kind of hostility that you are directing at me. I never said anything about any race being superior to the other… said just the opposite… I think a lot of people on thse forums just use other posters as scapegoats for all the anger they can’t seem to express eleswhere… Maybe you are one? I don’t appreciate you calling me names. In a way, this is very hypocritical, since you claim to not be “racist”. You treat me very poorly, so apparently you think I am inferior to you… That’s the way you come across…

Though your stats favor non whites, some stats do not, A majority of prison population is not white, does that mean that non whites are criminals?

I never said these “stats” or any others meant anything in particular. I just stated them… the reason i stated them was just in case there was someone “out there” who thought Blacks or racially mixed children were in any way inferior… I’ve run into a lot of people who believe that way :hypno: .

Black women have a higher abortion rate than whites. Does that mean that Black women are more evil?

I think it means that Black women are oppressd and feel more pressured to have an abortion… Black women., like all those who are oppressed, probably struggle with some level of low self-esteem… (i could go on and on, but really, that wasn’t the point of my post…).

Stats, are not always facts, for instance are we talking about blacks in Africa or in the US.

I don’t think it matters. I just know one hting about the science of genetics and that is that the more “different” the genes of the father from the genes of the mother, the more “healthy” the child… I tried (though may have failed, @ least with you?) to make the point that “healthy” doesn’t translate into “superior”… I have never thought that one race was better than another… or one person, because of IQ or whatever, was better… In fact, people with high IQs have other problems… like a lot of thm seem to lack “common sense”… which is probably God’s way of “equalizing” everyone…
You say it is a dangerous road to go down saying that

children being higher IQ than any others.

I agree with you here because Obviously, it wasn’t such a great road to go down with YOU…! If people are going to misunderstand and read “racist” and “superior” where racist & “superior” were not intended, I guess we have a problem. You use the word “genetically superior”. Nowhere in my post did i use such a term… I am totally Catholic and believe that God created us equal, all good and whole as we are…
You seem to believe that all people are equal (??) and yet you have not been fair or “equal” with me in your approach to what i said in my post… Again, i feel you have some kind of “anger” issue that may have nothing to do with the subject at hand…
Anyway, God bless… (my totally :“equal” not-one-bit-inferior-in- the- eyes-of-God co-poster)…

Many ex-Catholic Mormons will tell me how when they were little kids they were sold indulgences in parochial school by the priests and religious.

You know that isn’t the truth.

I liked the booklet because it was positive about the mormon church…

I attend mass regularly and do some catholic charity work. But I am still positive about the mormons and can attend the mormon service also.

Would you still be so positive if you read the book Under the Banner of Heaven?

I think every American ought to read that book… to understand Mormonism, its history (very bloody…)… etc…

I dont think you are a racists and I never said that. I think your point while dangerous when extrapulated out was well meaning. We just disagree on how to go about emphasising equality. You must get away from the idea that statistics when used for or against any racial situation is a good thing. In your kind heart it may very well mean well but that “mathmatical science” is what leads evil people to do evil things. you probably should not "guess as to the self esteem of black women unless you have training in that area.
My wife happens to be a genetic scientist. Your “fact” about the different genes between the father and the mother are only true when pulled out of blood realatives, it has nothing to do with wheather white and non white or white and white child is more genetically healthy. Forty six chromasomes are forty six chomasomes. Again, maybe you can see here where your stat base is in error and can be misinterpreted.
That you are Catholic has nothing to do whith weather someone is a racists or not. If you dont believe me take a look at the “stats” of Italian and Irish violence that was predominant in the early part of the last century. and even still today.
We are probably on the same side here. We probably should just let it go. I am sorry if I accused you of something that I shouldn’t have I am just passionate about this issue and how misrepresented it is in the general pc population. I apologise for anything i may have said that upset you or anything I misread. Hopefully you can do some introspection here too.
