Dating sites are an effective way to find love. I guess it's as good as any but it is hard to tell if someone is lying to you via a keyboard! At least if you can see there lips moving you can tell that they is lying!

Jesus Christ was a real-life person. I do believe that he has been exaggerated over the years though. JMHO

Christianity is stagnating. I think more and more people are pulling away. I don't think religion is keeping up with the needs of society.

People who hit their significant others once are likely to do so again. They can't hit just once!!

References to God or religion should be left out of U.S. Presidential Inaugurations. We must maintain the division of Church and State. Don't send me hate mail. I'm a believer!

Couples should not celebrate Valentine's Day. Love should expressed EVERY day not just once a year. I don't like being guilted or manipulated into buying stuff...ie cards, candy gifts. That's just marketing at it's best and I hate it!! I feel the same way about Easter and Christmas!

Marijuana is not a gateway drug. I don't think it necessarily leads to other drug use. I think it leads to over munching and obesity!

Premarital counseling is an effective way to reduce divorce rates. It can't hurt. Isn't that what parents are supposed to be doing anyway?

Humans are neither inherently good nor bad. On the good/bad scale if compassion and caring about others being good and murder/rape and disregard for others being bad, I think the majority of humans are neither. I feel most are indifferent to the needs of others. Their primary concern is what is bes

The Bible prohibits the use of contraceptives. Contraception...other than abstinence is not God's will. The Bible is about God's will isn't it?

Homeless animals should not be euthanized. Only sick or diseased animals should be humanely euthanized. Stiffer fines and licensing requirements should be enacted and enforced for not spaying or neutering non-pedigree animals and puppy and kitten mills should be illegal.

Monogamy is not natural. It would appear not. Humans are the only species that try to force monogamy through religious and legal doctrine. Very few animals mate for life.

Women that use drugs during a pregnancy should be criminally prosecuted for endangering the unborn fetus. Yes!! It's proven that it endangers the fetus.

Open marriages are a viable option for heterosexual couples. Whatever works. Both parties need to be in agreement. If just one party is in an open marriage....that's cheating.

Children with one heterosexual parent are not better off than children with two homosexual parents. No...it depends on the individual people.

Economic sanctions should not be imposed on governments responsible for human rights violations. I don't think they work on the government and only hurt the people being victimized to begin with. Cuba for example.

The access to food is not a human right. I really don't like the wording on this question. Are we talking about a country that is controlled by cruel dictators like Myanmar? Or lazy (but otherwise able bodied) Americans that feel they are entitled and would just rather have someone deliver it to

The customers were most responsible for the Wal-Mart accident during Black Friday 2008. It was the people who tossed their humanity when they chose to participate in the stampeding pack.

The Bible should be interpreted figuratively. How can you interpret something literally that was written 1000's of years ago?

Same-sex marriage is a civil rights issue.

The Catholic Church's position on contraception is not correct. No. It's these old religious attitudes that drive followers from the church. Or...they sneak around submersed in Catholic guilt.

Casual sex is not immoral. Dangerous yes...unhealthy yes, immoral no. As long you are not in a committed relationship.

Gender is a social construct. With the exception of natural reproductive capabilities, gender is in every other aspect...ie behavioral, cultural, or psychological is indeed a social construct.

Hollywood does not encourage positive role models. Positive role models are boring. People won't pay to see that. We want to pay to watch someone destroy their life or the life of someone else. Now that's entertainment!

The U.S. should return to the gold standard. We need something tangible to back our money. We need to stop printing it whenever we run short...unless of course I get to do that then it would be OK.

God is just. Leave it to humans to be so arrogant that "they" would know what God's true plan is. God is just in every way. Just because we don't understand it or don't agree doesn't make him unjust. It just makes us confused.

Drugs should not be legalized.

The verdict in the Sean Bell case was appropriate. There are always two side to a verdict. Those who agree with it and those who don't.

Morality and religion should play a role in public policymaking only in a general sense of universal good or bad. The division of Church and State. How many times do we need to say that. Religions don't have the market cornered on morality. Some religious leaders make it sound if you are not religious then you must live in an anything goes, swinging from the trees li

Homosexuality is not immoral.

Public displays of religious content should not be permitted; the government should refrain from endorsing any and all religions. Only if it is publicly display at a church or at your home or some other private property. Not on government owned property. The division of church and State!! It's not possible to represent all religions in this country at one time. Government must repre

The government should allow same-sex couples to adopt children. Love is love and kids need it.

Doubt can be part of faith.

Laws banning sagging pants are unconstitutional. But I should be allowed to succumb to my urge to "pants" them. Either pull them up or pull them down. That in between stuff makes me crazy!

There is a non-religious basis for universal principles of morality. Religions based on God do not have the market cornered on morality. The principals of morality actually go back much farther than modern religion. They were rules that developed as humans started grouping together in order to survive. Killing, stealing, c

Local and state governments should not be able to use eminent domain to acquire and transfer properties that have public benefits for private uses. Such as increased tax revenues when an developer develops and sells the properties?? No. It's an abuse of power!!

Consumption of alcohol is not immoral. Excess is not healthy, but I don't think it is immoral.

Violence in movies contributes to violence in society. I think it desensitizes some people to violence.

Employer non-discrimination policies should apply to sexual orientation.

Breastfeeding in public should be legally protected. It's natural and healthy. I think a little discretion is in order. I always used a light blanket or something to cover up. I breastfed everywhere and most people wouldn't even know it. I think it is the pervs that are the problem.
