I am going to go out on a limb here and share my 2 cents.....
In my life time I have found individuals who search for one "bad" (for a lack of a better word) thing and then they hold tight to that one thing. Nothing else matters but that one thing. IF there is a "bad thing" then by all means everything else has to be questioned.
I don't know the reason for the ban and perhaps (at least for me) my salvation isn't dependent upon it. What I do know is that black, brown, yellow, orange, blue, red, and white all are my brothers and sisters.
My 2 cents.
