The Pledge of Allegiance should not include the phrase "under God," because it was put in for explicitly religious purposes and as such should be removed. If we are to abide by seperation of church and state, there can't be any exceptions.

Doubt can be part of faith. Doubt causes questions. Questioning is a very good way to reafirm your beliefs.

Undocumented immigrants should not be granted in-state tuition benefits. If they want tuition benefits, then they should file the proper paperwork and claim them in a legal manner.

The effects of conversion therapy are negative. When you invalidate how a person feels, or who they feel they are, it's detrimental to that person. When what a person does is not harming anyone esle, why not just let them be themselves? When you confine the limits of how someone can express themselves,

Polygamy should be legal. Why should you limit how many people someone can marry? If they wish to have that type of relationship then fine. Tax issues? Ok, then only allow them to enter into one contract at a time. Seperation of church and state, marriage is a religious issue. Tax

Homosexuality is not a choice. It's how you're born. It's something that is there before you even know what it is. You don't just one day say "hey, i think i'd like to try a girl today."

Christianity is stagnating.
