Gallup Finds American Opinion Moving Strongly Toward Acceptance of Extra-Marital Sex
Catholic Culture ^ | 5/27/15

Posted on 05/28/2015 11:44:02 AM PDT by marshmallow

A new Gallup poll finds that since 2001, American opinion has shifted markedly toward acceptance of extra-marital sexual behavior.

The poll found that between 2001 and 2015 there have been sharp increases in the number of Americans who say that it is “acceptable” to engage in homosexual relations or to give birth to a child outside wedlock, or obtain a divorce.

The poll also found substantially more support for assisted suicide, the cloning of human beings, and polygamy. Remarkably, the survey showed only a slight increase in acceptance of abortion.

According to the Gallup findings, the overwhelming majority of Americans accept the use of birth control (89 to 8%), divorce (71- 20%), sexual relations outside marriage (68- 29%), homosexual activity (63- 34%), and research on tissues obtained from human embryos (64- 29%).

After all the times the polls have lied why are people still believing them on social issues like this?

Me and my wife have an arrangement

I’m only allowed to have an affair with Kate Upton and she is only allowed to have one with Jason Statham.

Other than that, we are stuck with each other

Why are we wasting time on the small stuff?

Let’s focus on something useful and repeal the law of gravity!

Getting around would be much easier and imagine the impact on energy consumption!

Don’t be a stick in the mud!

Everything is negotiable!

...sexual relations outside marriage (68- 29%)...

is sexual relations for unmarried people.

It could also be taken to mean "sexual relations outside marriage,"

depending on context.

What do you expect to happen when you have fifty years of entertainment media portraying it as normal?

We either need to shut off, or counter the propaganda streams from Hollywood/Los Angeles.

And that’s actual votes, not what strangers decide to tell other strangers over the phone about what they think of ‘gay marriage.’

You aren't telling us anything that Goebbels didn't already know back in 1940.

Yeah, but, well, you know, 2% more of the 20% of voters who are Catholic voted for democrats than voted for Republicans, that's the real problem in this country.

Not the majority who are Protestant and Protestant derived folks abandoning Christian morality, it's that few percent of the minority that is the real problem.

Why not? The whores ( all sexes) are ready to elect that ditzy **tch, Hillary. Why not “hook up” with some sleaze bag off the street while you’re doing it.

Yep, I heard a cousin of mine and his wife decided to do that. They’re divorced now, of course.

“Pretty sure that’s never going to happen. LOL”

Hey, never say never. For example, if you were to rent a Lamborghini and go cruising in that, it might be a possibility.

They don't know what God says (and wants?)

Genesis 1

English Standard Version (ESV)

26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    male and female he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

ROTFLOL. That will work in a rural KY town of 12K. And I'm too lazy to drive to L-Ville

More fatherless children and STD’s on the way. It also leaves a hole in the hearts of men and women sooner or later.

IDK, but I will stick with my wife, I don’t like the idea of advertising myself out to the world over.
