Since you are the contender the onus is on you to demonstrate the relevant passage from the Bible.
Lol, don't like the fact that you contradicted yourself?

Fair enough, let us move away from the bible, I was prepared for that anyhow. Can we group homosexual couples and interracial couples together under the fact that they are both human?

But the fact that you've specifically targeted interracial couples instead of straight white couples is completely unacceptable in the context of this conversation. If straight white couples are also human then why not compare them with homosexual couples? But you won't will you because you know that gay couples are inferior to straight people who're white?

Gay people are clearly inferior to straight people who're white.

No, I can compare them too.

But I need you remember to answer yes or no to yes or no questions.

Are homosexual couples and interracial couples both human? Yes or no.

I think you make the mistake of using "over arching" criteria of being human as the be all in this conversation. But being human is not the only criteria since there are other criteria such as socioeconomic class, race, religion, gender, and (dis)ability etc.

This conversation Is not going anywhere Unless you can recognise that being "human" is not the be all category in this conversation because this is not the only criteria which are important.

Besides, such interpretation of the Bible is largely antiquated or outdated, even in the context of America's social, cultural, and political norms, as much as it is now rejected by Christianity in the mainstream.
Right: Bible interpretation changes with the times.

It used to be that racism, slavery, and subjugation of women were all upheld as "Biblical". Now they (generally) aren't.

The same thing is taking place with same-sex marriage. A few decades ago, you couldn't find any Christian denominations that supported same-sex marriage. Now, a sizeable minority support it, and more allow individual churches to choose to allow them or not.

A few decades from now, mainstream Christians will be dismissing anti-same-sex marriage and anti-gay interpretations of the Bible as "antiquated and outdated" just as you are now on this other issue.

Prove it. Prove any group of people are inherently superior or inferior to others. And don't even start with that "Europe dominated the world" stuff. It had nothing to do with their skin colour and everything to do with easily accessible resources compared to other portions of the planet. Copper, tin, iron, coal, a variety of wood with different strengths/weaknesses, a large variety of climates over relatively small distances allowing for cultivation of several crops & breeding of animals...

Anyone who ended up in Europe was going to have a head-start. You can see this quite clearly in the European peoples who eventually ended up in Africa, namely the Vandals & varieties of the Goths. They were on the same technological level as everyone else in Europe for their time, but they were unable to keep pace because of resource differences.

So go on, prove that one group of people is inherently superior/inferior to another, again without using simple luck of location.

People who listen to the Beatles encouraged Ringo not to get a nose job. Rolling Stones fans are inherently superior. Oh, wait, Keith Richards! Never mind.

Isn't the leader of the Free World (AKA America) black?

No.
Obama is genetically 50/50, and culturally way more white than anything else.
He just got lucky and inherited the politically correct skin tone and also a white family.
Think he'd be President if his dad had taken him back to Kenya when he left?
I don't.

Of course he wouldn't be president of America if he went back to Kenya. He'd probably be in Kenya! Maybe some sort of political leader there anyway. Who knows?

Most "POC" born in the west are culturally more white by default. That's the culture they grow up in! I'm far more culturally white because I grew up in the west. As did my cousins, who are far more culturally white than anything else. Our parents are far more Indian/Fijian in culture though.
I think if some white person were to be to be born and raised in India, they'd probably be more culturally Indian than anything else.

I was merely pointing out that the leader of America, considered a superpower in the world, happens to be not completely white. As a direct contention that white man is superior because they run the world. With some hyperbole thrown in for some comedic affect.

You know, people were taking bets when he first got elected when he'd be shot by racists. (Yes, I think that's a bit sick to do too.) I think many are still shocked that nothings happened to him.

Australians are superior to English.
They shipped all their 'dregs' to a desert continent, and forgot about us for a hundred and fifty years.
We became more golden, taller, and developed skills in their own sports, like cricket, so we could go back to England, serve beer at bars, and have all the English ladies wish there were more of us.

Please note, I am ignoring the role environment played in this. Or any other pertinent fact.
Instead, I believe being put in the hold of prison ships literally promoted evolutionary change, and we are now a superior species.

When his second term comes to a close, I'm gonna rake in all the money. Enough for my own mother****ing Money-Bin. See, I had the foresight to know that no one would risk shooting Obama because the alternative is President Biden.

Just as black and white people can be similar.

But so what?

White people are still the dominant civilisation which controls the entire world. Whites are still undisputed leaders in the social pecking order despite their similarity to blacks.

Who cares if they are similar for one is clearly superior to the other?

Clearly, black and white people do not occupy the same space in the social pecking order, which is the most key and central point of our discussion.

Therefore, gay people are inferior to heterosexuals because each will have their own space in the social pecking order or social hierarchy.

I'm sorry, I believe we were talking about marriage, not who you find more inferior. But thanks for the informative post there.

I was reminded of something today that I have to ask about here.
Why do black people say gay marriage is similar to interracial marriage?
