Heh, it's been a long time since I wrote that. No one had ever said much of it, after I started on this topic.
"That theory, however, is flawed. Whether or not Cain’s mark was that he was black, we’ll never know."
That's true. It's impossible to know what the Mark Of Cain was. I've heard many different explanations of it; a sign on this forehead, black skin, or even his size. However, as humans, we tend to use things as excuses to get what we want. If we can interpret something to work in a way which benefits us, then more often than not, we do.
"However, had you read your Bible, you would know that none of Cain’s descendants exist anymore. All of the people currently on this planet are descendants of Noah and his sons. "
I have read the Bible. XD
And yes, I know the stories of Noah as well. However, that plays little significance in the point I was trying to make.
Cain was forced to become a vagabond of sorts, roaming around. Basically an outcast from the rest of the world. Now, if one was to believe that his mark was that of Colored Skin, then that is easily twisted into the mentality slave holders could have used.
It matters not if Cain's descendants were around or not, as he was still treated that way in the past. And if God had allowed people to treat him that way, then why should they not do it? I don't think it had anything to do with Cain himself, per say, but the fact that he may have had colored skin. I believe that was the point I was trying to make.
Also, I in no way agree with that mentality, as that post, from which you derived that quote, makes it seem. I guess I wasn’t all that careful with words, back then. >>;
