1. What are your views regarding sex outside of marriage?
|
There's nothing wrong with premarital sex at all, so long as the involved parties are mature and responsable about it, the acts are completely consensual, and appropriate measures are taken to protect against unwanted pregnancies and the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases.

2. What are your views regarding homosexual or lesbian relationships?
|
Isn't that question redundant? Aren't lesbian relationships homosexual relationships?
In any event, I firmly believe that one's sexual preferences are private, and so long as nobody is being harmed, I have no problem at all with homosexuals enjoying the same rights and freedoms as heterosexual couples.

5. What, in your view, is the purpose of life?

That's a loaded question. Is it referring to
human life or the life of all species? Assuming the latter, the only traits that are shared by all living creatures are the instinct to survive and to reproduce.

6. What is your view of the Bible and what role should it play in our lives?

The Bible has played an important role in shaping the social and cultural fabric of Western civilization; however, it's antiquated and ought to play no role in the lives of non-Christians. It must certainly shouldn't influence the governments and the creation of legislation.

7. Do you go to church? If so, how often?
|
I was raised in a Catholic family and attended church every Sunday until I graduated from high school and moved away from home. I stopped believing in a supernatural god when I was around 15 or so and haven't attended any church services since moving out of my parents' home.
