The Pledge of Allegiance should include the phrase "under God," because it should remain the way it was written.

Find something more important to spend time fighting to change. (I think this is the issue some douchebag tried to take to court years ago.)

Religious leaders should not speak out on political matters.

Its their right to, but I don't think that they should. People are misreading this issue I think.

The law should require people to wear seat belts.

People have no problem breaking the law, so I'm sure it won't do much. Maybe they should force people to see videos of the aftermath of unrestrained ...

Parents should provide contraceptives to their teenage children.

They should at least have "The Talk" and then hand them out. At least they know theres a chance they'll use them, instead of hoping they go to a new ...

Ownership of certain dog breeds should be restricted.

Extremely hostile dogs have no place in civilized society. There should also be an IQ test for the owners.

A belief in evolution does not contradict a belief in Creation.

If God created everything, isn't it possible that he -could- have allowed animals to evolve.

Acceptance of evolution does not deny a belief in God.

I don't see why they can't believe that God allowed animals to evolve to be better suited to their living environments.

Homosexuals should be allowed to enter the clergy.

They should be allowed, but ultimately its up to the leaders of that religion to make the choice.

The 'War on Drugs' has not been effective in curbing illegal drug use.

Go to Vegas if you believe the "War on Drugs" has been effective.

Different genders are not treated equally in the workplace.

It has gotten drastically better, but there is still an inequality among men and women in the workplace.

The Texas government should have removed the children from their families at the polygamist ranch.

If child abuse was evident, you get the children out. I don't give a shit if your religion says its okay, its never acceptable to harm a child mental...

Downloading copyrighted material over the Internet without the owner's consent should not be legal.

It takes 30 seconds to ask permission. Or if its music, 5 seconds to click "Buy now!"

The legal minimum age for gambling should not be raised to 21.

Three years really won't make a difference. If the person has gambling tendencies at 18, they'll probably have them at 21 too.

Marriage should not be defined as a union between one man and one woman.

It doesn't really matter since marriage by definition is a religious ceremony and has no place in government.
