dictionary.reference.com Good point Noel. Miscegenation is not about religious intermarriage [breeding], it's racial, meaning DNA. Hence, if Israel's laws are okay with Palestinians and Jews marrying, then they aren't antimiscegenationistic.
I didn't know "miscegenation" before this discussion, but thought it was a pretty cool sounding word. But words have meanings and you have killed miscegenation off for this discussion. There's a word for everything in English, so what's the word for banning marriages between people of different religious membership?
What's the definition of membership? Israelis couples could decide for a month before their wedding that they are not members of any religious group, or join the Love Cult which believes in sexual passion as the manifestation of life force of the universe and they wish to worship in that sacred communion. Then, after marrying, they could go back to attending their normal superstitious congregations when they realize that the Love Cult doesn't hold all the answers either, but does introduce some interesting questions, not to mention problems. Such as who should hold the remote and make the bed. I understand nobody cleans the toilets in the middle east; the public ones anyway.
That would save them a trip to Cyprus, but would be bad for business in Cyprus and might lead directly to war between Greece and Turkey as the Cypriot economy failed.
Hmmm, this isn't really USA foreign policy but USA foreign policy seems to be in thrall to the issue of Jews and Moslems getting their act together, which seems to involve management of sexuality, which leads us right back to the Love Cult as the solution to Earth's problems.
The official religion of the NUN could be the Love Cult. That would perhaps lead to popularity and joining by young people around the world and the end of war.
