1. What are your views regarding sex outside of marriage?
Fine by me, as long as people arn't idiots and try to have kids outside of marriage. Our society isn't setup to handle child raising outside of committed relationships, which makes it wrong to raise kids in that context. Wish that would change some how though.
2. What are your views regarding homosexual or lesbian relationships?
It isn't immoral, unethical or wrong. Just not for me.
3. Wht are your views on abortion?
I support the choice of abortion. I cannot argue against it as it comes down to situtations where you either abort or lose the mother during child birth. In these situations, you do everything to save the mother first, child second.
4. Do you believe in moral absolutes (ie: that there are some things that are always right or wrong regardless of culture or religion)?
No. Morality is a human contruction and is used as a social tool to regulate members behavoir towards a common goal. Moral absolutes exist entirely to appease those people who have trouble viewing issues in anything but binary terms.
5. What, in your view, is the purpose of life?
To survive. Beyond that, there is no "purpose" beyond what we define for ourselves.
6. What is your view of the Bible and what role should it play in our lives?
It's outdatated as a moral guide. Most of it's "answers" were created 2500 years ago before the invention of medical science and other more recent advancements. Hence, it's now safe to eat pork. Which means that the rest of the rules in there are suspect.
7. Do you go to church? If so, how often?
Not any more. Organized religion leaves a foul taste in my mouth. The more people you stick into a room, the lower the average intelligence of each person gets. Spirituality is an individual pursuit.
