Just in case you thought that the New England Puritans were the only ones who took their religious zeal to new extremes....
Here's a case that will boggle your mind!! That's right, 44 years after the landmark civil rights case that legalized interracial marriage (YUP, it was only 44 years ago), there is a church in Kentucky that has actually BANNED interracial marriage within its congregation.
You can't make this stuff up people.
What do you take away from this, especially when we consider the question of if and how the ridiculousness that happened in Salem could ever happen again?

If Stacy Stepp had said that they did not "condone" interracial marriages in the manner that didn't seem as if he'd put his personal opinion out there. Now if he had said it was in the holy book (what ever book it is. This applies in general), then that would have been a different story. The pastor would be simply following the guide lines. This goes back to the contradiction fact VS. opinion. So what is really considered fact and what is considered opinion when it comes to religion?
