“If God wanted the races to mix he’d have made everyone the same color. This is just a defiance of God’s will. If a woman lies unto a beast the beast shall be put down- Leviticus 20:16”

— This is a quote from a commenter on Philly.com in response to an article about Phillies’ slugger (and ginormous black dude) Ryan Howard getting engaged to Eagles’ cheerleader (and smoking hot white chick) Krsystle Campbell.

When I read something like this, I can see God, with His big white beard and in His big white robe, sitting at the computer in the rec room of His cloud house up in heaven, browsing Philly.com, reading this article and happening upon this comment. And then after doing so, He puts down His coffee, shakes His head in sadness, and then perhaps He quotes another of my gods (lowercase) and mutters to himself, “That is not what I meant at all. That is not it, at all.” And then He lets out a heavy sigh and His whole day is ruined. Look at the poor guy – He can’t even finish His coffee.

I’m not gonna get into some religiousy debate here, but, my friends, here’s all you need to get by: BE NICE TO PEOPLE. Do this, and when the chips fall where they may, you should be in good shape. It really doesn’t have to be any harder than this.
