Help with my survey please

[Thrash Metalhead]

I need to do a survey thing for my Psychology class and it's due in less than 2 weeks and I thought I'd ask some of the teens here to take it for me. It's multiple choice so you need to only put one answer choice down and if you want to put any explanation down for why you picked it that would be great (but not necessary). Here's the questions:

1.What is an important aspect of marriage:
-religious ceremony
-legal arrangement
-expression of love
-symbolic commitment
-other

2.Do you agree with the Supreme Court ruling of Obergefell v. Hodges which knocked down any barriers from people of the same sex from getting married?
-yes
-no
-doesn't apply to me

3.Do shop owners deserve the right to discriminate against anyone based on religious or moral beliefs?
-yes
-no
-depends

4.Do states have the right to make their own laws requiring who can and can not get married or be discriminated against?
-yes
-no
-depends

5.Should religious or moral beliefs affect the way people choose to go against specific rights for a certain group of citizens? ( I hope y'all can understand this one, I had a hard time wording it.)
-yes
-no
-depends

There all important aspects in my personal opinion. I believe love should be the foundation of a marriage, but for it to be stable more needs to be built on top of it. It does entail financial and legal commitments in addition to emotional ones such as fidelity, and in the case of those who are religious, being "equally yoked." From a purely legal perspective I think it should be more basic - currently unmarried adults should be able to marry one another as they see fit.

2.Do you agree with the Supreme Court ruling of Obergefell v. Hodges which knocked down any barriers from people of the same sex from getting married?
-yes
-no

Yes. I don't believe the prohibition was Constitutional.

3.Do shop owners deserve the right to discriminate against anyone based on religious or moral beliefs?
-yes
-no
-doesn't apply to me

No. Shop owners serving the public need to serve all of the public. They're entitled to establish and enforce policies, but they need to be applicable to everyone. "No shoes, no service" is reasonable because it is universal, but refusing to serve someone simply because of their race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation is discriminatory.

4.Do states have the right to make their own laws requiring who can and can not get married or be discriminated against?
-yes
-no
-depends

No. Alabama did not overturn a law banning interracial marriage until November 2000, though it had not been steadily enforced for some time prior to that point. I don't think Americans should have to worry about their marriage being legally recognized in one state and then deemed illegitimate if they move to another. There are some matters in which the United States should be united.

5.Should religious or moral beliefs affect the way people choose to go against specific rights for a certain group of citizens? ( I hope y'all can understand this one, I had a hard time wording it.)
-yes
-no
-depends

I believe the right to liberty must include the right to maintain religious and moral beliefs even if others vehemently disagree with them. There are views that are racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, contrary to established facts, and that I perceive to be immoral, that are rooted in various religious stances or sincere moral beliefs. It is as important that people be permitted to have those beliefs as it is for those who are in opposition to publicly repudiate them. Where the firm line must stand is when those beliefs are put into an action that infringes upon the rights of others.

Interesting questionnaire! I will tell you my opinions.

1.What is an important aspect of marriage:
-religious ceremony
-legal arrangement
-expression of love
-symbolic commitment
-other

To me it would be all of the above. All of these aspects are important in marriage. However, if you mean the most important one, it would be a commitment. Marriage is seen too lightly by society nowadays, and divorce occurs too frequently. Per biblical standards, marriage is to be seen as a serious commitment, which is to end only with the death fo either party, and which cannot be broken until then, save in some rare circumstances.

2.Do you agree with the Supreme Court ruling of Obergefell v. Hodges which knocked down any barriers from people of the same sex from getting married?
-yes
-no
-doesn't apply to me

Absolutely no. Marriage is to be between a man and a woman, not between two men or two women. The Bible is clear that such practices are abhorrent to God, and it is a shame that the state should endorse them. No-one has the right to get married to anyone of the same sex — only of the opposite sex. I am shocked to see that so many people who call themselves Christians in this forum support same-sex marriage.

3.Do shop owners deserve the right to discriminate against anyone based on religious or moral beliefs?
-yes
-no
-depends

Evidently, discrimination is never acceptable. However, one must be careful to see that not everything that some people call ‘discrimination’ really is discrimination. For example, if I am a shop owner, and I decide to make a special discount for friends, family or church members, I am not discriminating them. I have the right to offer to charge less than the price on display. However, I do not have the right to charge them any more than that price. The issue of calling ‘discrimination’ to something that is really not discrimination goes way beyond this issue; it can apply to the rejection of homosexuality, the submission of women in marriage, the rejection of abortion, or other things like that.

4.Do states have the right to make their own laws requiring who can and can not get married or be discriminated against?
-yes
-no
-depends

I will not answer that question, since I am not an American and I believe that is an internal American issue. It all really depends on how much independence or unity the US Government wants to grant its states.

5.Should religious or moral beliefs affect the way people choose to go against specific rights for a certain group of citizens? ( I hope y'all can understand this one, I had a hard time wording it.)
-yes
-no
-depends

Sorry, I cannot understand what you mean by that one. (Perhaps you should reword it and provide examples, so that I may understand what you mean.) I will just say that no-one has the right to go against the rights of anyone else.

I know that last one doesn't really make any sense so I apologize for that. As you can tell, my English is not so good even though that's the only language I speak.

Anyway, what I had in mind when I came up with that one was how Christians who oppose gay marriage do so because of what the Bible says about homosexuals or how people believe that a woman and man should only get married because of reproduction purposes would go against it. What I was asking was if these were valid reasons to oppose rights for someone. (I don't know if that helped or not but that's the best I can come up with. I'm horrible at trying to form thoughts into sentences.)

Ah! Then let me tell you that I think that the way you phrased that question is biased. If you had homosexuality in mind as an example, asking, ‘Should religious or moral beliefs affect the way people choose to go against specific rights for a certain group of citizens?’ (emphasis is mine) implies that homosexuals have the right to be homosexual — which I disagree with, obviously. Then, before answering, let me suggest perhaps a better way to phrase it: ‘Are religious or moral beliefs a valid reason for anyone to view any certain group of citizens as having fewer rights than the rights which people with different beliefs think that group has?’ When I oppose homosexuality, I am not ‘choosing to go against gay rights’ — rather, I am simply saying that gay rights do not even exist.

With the new question, then, yes, people with different beliefs may have different views on human rights. For example, Christians (save that which is, in my eyes, an incomprehensible minority of Christians who support homosexuality) believe that no-one has the right to have any sort of sexual relationship with anyone of the same sex, whereas secular people will tend to view the right to choose one's sexual orientation as a human right (therefore, seeing Christians as going against a key human right). In another example, radical Muslims think that Westerners do not have the right to life (which is why they commit terrorist atrocities), whereas most Muslims will view everyone as have equally the right to life. In a third example, supporters of the death penalty for murderers will argue that anyone who violates anyone else's right to live loses himself his own right to live (thus accepting the death penalty as moral), whereas opposers will argue that every human being always has the right to life, even if he has killed anyone else. In other words, no-one says, ‘I believe you have this human right, but I will choose to break it anyway’; if anyone does break anyone else's human right, it is because he did not see the other person as even having that right in the first place.

However, if you want to maintain the old question, then, no, no-one has the right to break anyone else's rights, even due to religious or moral beliefs. I believe we both would agree on this point. However, the problem is that perhaps we cannot even agree on exactly which rights humans have.

1.What is an important aspect of marriage:
Love, trust, and loyalty.

2.Do you agree with the Supreme Court ruling of Obergefell v. Hodges which knocked down any barriers from people of the same sex from getting married?
I feel that if a god that loves us all exists, and knew about us before we were even born, I don't think it even regrets us being like that let alone hates it. I think it is just like circumcision, a way to control the population from their primal urges. Which in my view is wrong.

3.Do shop owners deserve the right to discriminate against anyone based on religious or moral beliefs?
No. There is a clear line between not liking someone and tormenting them because you don't understand them. That's just a problem on YOUR side, not theirs.

4.Do states have the right to make their own laws requiring who can and can not get married or be discriminated against?
I'm not even sure how that works, so their marriage would be recognized by the federal government, but not the state government? What?

5.Should religious or moral beliefs affect the way people choose to go against specific rights for a certain group of citizens? ( I hope y'all can understand this one, I had a hard time wording it.)
This question is rather finicky. Hm...
Well, not to limit people or anything like that. If however say a group of religious extremists make a new book that says kill all gays or castrate anyone who isn't married by 25, I think we both know what has to be done here.
