I do not believe in soulmates.

Viewing pornography is not the equivalent of cheating. There is no physical interaction with another person

Dogs are better pets than cats. Definitely a dog guy

It is appropriate to talk on the phone while using a public restroom. As long as you are comfortable with the whole world listening, its okay with me.

President Obama's statement about Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s arrest was not appropriate. Without the facts, he shouldn't said what he said.

The arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was not justified. People say mean things to cops all the time.

I have never smoked marijuana. Again, just didn't get into it

I do not ride motorcycles. I tried once, it didn't go so well :(

Atheism is not a religion. Its a belief

Minors should not be charged as adults for sex crimes.

Religious compatibility is an important component to a romantic relationship. I believe two people of different faiths can have a healthy romantic relationship, as long as both people accept the other person for who they are and what they believe.

There are circumstances under which I support capital punishment.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug. I thought I read somewhere alcohol has the highest number of addicts among drugs

Drugs should be legalized. We should tax them to, and use the money to make improvements in society.

It is healthy for couples to remain friends after being in a long-term relationship. It is not easy, but it is not impossible, and if you can manage to be mature, the juice is worth the squeeze

Dating sites are an effective way to find love. I'd say there is a higher probability than walking into a bar and seeing what happens

Jesus Christ was a real-life person. Whether he was the son of God is debatable, however I think a guy named Jesus Christ did exist at some point in time

Christianity is in decline. I think they are losing more people to the growing trend of Atheism

Homosexuality is not immoral. Why, because two people mutually love each other?

Bernie Madoff should not be held as an accessory in cases where former investors committed suicide. Those investors were responsible for where they put their own money

Couples should celebrate Valentine's Day. Just as much as anyone celebrates mother's day or father's day

The Richland County Sheriff should not seek charges against Michael Phelps for allegedly smoking marijuana. If they caught him doing it in the act, that is one thing, but to go after him now that a picture surfaced much later after he did it is another.

Gay marriage should be a federal issue.

A belief in evolution does not contradict a belief in Creation. It had to start somewhere right?

A world without religion would be the same. Some people would be good, some bad, and most probably a mixture of both.

Religious beliefs are not vital to society People should hold themselves accountable and to high standards for themselves, not because any piece of literature tells them to

Freedom from discrimination based on sexual orientation should be considered a civil right. Really? Are we still asking this today?

There is a non-religious basis for universal principles of morality. Ethics and morality should be based on rationality and not blind faith

The people in the US do not have the right to freely choose and practice a religion or to have no religion at all. In theory yes, in reality, it doesn't seem like it

There are no persuasive reasons to prohibit same-sex couples from raising children.

Government funds should not be used for religious purposes.

The law should require people to wear seat belts. Sometimes we need to be saved from ourselves I guess.

Homosexuality is not a choice. I think you are who you are, and that is okay.

Raising children is not the primary purpose of marriage. I always thought it was to show your love for someone

The government should allow same-sex couples to adopt children. I don't see how its any worst than not having a parent

Doubt cannot be part of faith. I think faith is blind, so if you have blind faith and doubt, then what are you left with?

Acceptance of evolution does not deny a belief in God. Who says God has to only do with where we came from? Isn't it more about where we're going?

The government should not ban books it deems inappropriate in public schools and libraries. Students have the right to an objective education

Minors should not be exempt from the death penalty.

Different genders are not treated equally in the workplace.
