Garbanzo:
You say, "You have the right to your opinion on whether or not homosexuality or drug use is okay"
What is your personal belief about these two things:
1. Do you believe homosexuality to be a sin and a free will choice, or "orientation" something inborn that is not a matter of choice, and that teachers should keep all of their choice or orientation OUT of a K-6 classroom, and
2. Do you believe the death penalty is appropriate for adult who prey on young boys or girls, or when exactly is the death penalty absolutely warranted?
Part a) Being an atheist, I don't believe in the concept of "sin". b)Same-sex sex is of course a free will choice, sexual arousal/orientation isn't. c) I'm split on that issue of how much info should be taught in K-6 classrooms. As said above, we live in a society where these things are discussed in the mainstream so something at some point may need to be mentioned.
Do you believe the death penalty is appropriate for adult who prey on young boys or girls, or when exactly is the death penalty absolutely warranted?
In general I'm not a supporter of capital punishment except for cases of murder and even then only probably even the most heinous ones with aggrevated circumstances.
