One should be openminded about what God has for each and one of you. I remember I really admired and liked black guys when being younger, and told that to my mom.

She telling that would never be a good idea and that it would be wisest marrying a white man. Also saying that it would be culture and religion crash. And then I told her that if both had the same Faith, then it shouldn't be any problem. Then she asnwered that poor kid of ours would get Very Badly teased and treated bad at school because of the colour.

Bad Statement of her's! I am white and still I got teasted and treated bad at school. And well, it also depends on how lucky you are with school and people too, not all school's are being racistic.

Although God's man for me was and is white, still I think it silly how my mom responded.

i dont think race etc should matter like i think the only think that matters is that they are a christian (like if ur a christian) cause thats what God tells us in the bible , because it is a stronger relationship and God is part of it :)

Well im a hispanic (family from mexico) so im mexican BUT americans call us hispanics as the correct term >.<

Honestly race should NOT matter As long as you are both christians or the one you marry will NOT get in the way of you & God, or he is someone who you can talk to about God & soon they also love God.
Honestly im more attracted to yellow bones, latinos & asian guys *-* dont know why but just am XD I know i know its NOT all about the looks but Loving God & how you are, My mom would have NO problem with the guys race or age as long as he is a christian who believes in God & would pick God first before me & only God first before anyone else. Also as long as he has not been married, divorced.
I would also not want to marry a divorced man because that would be sinning.
& i dont like dating guys with babys or kids WHOSE mother is still alive (if she is dead thats different) NOT because i dont want to take care of a child thats not mine BUT because the whole baby momma drama & because he is MUCH more experienced than me & has probably had a long story with her, would maybe put his child before God.
I plan to adopt a kid or more ages 13-17 so the whole taking care of a kid that is not mine i have NO problem with, in fact i plan on NOT having kids.
Why ....well a couple good reasons, Instead why not adopt a kid or be a foster home?
*cough* i went a little off the subject but you get what i mean, to me & my mom race does not matter as long as they Love God & are christians or willing to hear us out about God & not get in the way of God & me.

Wow, i'm seeing great opinions here!! Why don't you want any kids?>>>>NoTearsShed I love the fact that u want to adopt though. I want to as well....and now nobody in my family knows that only you guys!!

A couple good reasons, it started off with a phobia i have...
Then i started thinking about it more & well now its 4 main reasons,
3 being i dont want to bring a child in the world with all the things going on now, look at all these stupid young kids having babies at such a young age, 8 year olds having sex...thats just nasty, the youngest kids having babies are 10 at least that has been seen at this hospital near were i live.
Now all these teenagers want to do is shoot with guns, I mean honestly are you serious! Use your hands if you want to fight, yes fighting is bad but its better to fight with fists instead of with guns & knifes.
Theres many slutty girls were i live(the city not my house)... hard to find true friends....
Now its really tempting to sin, & especially for teens to depart from God.

The other one because hardly anyone adopts kids, & when they do get adopted they are ages babies- like 10 & the ones thatt are 13-17 dont really get adopted as much as younger kids...

Maybe God put it in me to have that phobia so i would be able to adopt some kids ages 13-17 so i can be able to tell them about God =) & bring them closer to God =D
I wont say what the phobia is but in a way when i look at it that way, its a thing that God can use to remind me what im doing is bad & the first reason why i dint want to have kids.
You know God has marvelous ways of doing things to help one another or to save someone =)


I want to preach the world of God around the world or different countries when i get older so if i have a kid i would have to take him or her with me all around the world OR leave them at someones house which would not be fair to them & they might feel like they are not loved.
Would not be fair for them to be growing up everywere & have to make new friends every month or year.
Now some teenagers 13-17 dream of traveling places so they would be able to come & also get closer to God =)
If you really think about it its like im meant to adopt teenagers or be a foster home for them or something =)
I just noticed the things seem to fit in =D
Makes me happy to know God is using me to help others :D

Great reason. There is one thing I'm afraid of when it comes to that situation but I wouldn't call mine a phobia LOL. I t seems like you've done a lot of thinking about this.
