3) That's not new. They've always had the same rights according to scripture as a man has had.
5) Is it? I'd say after the latest round of voting that's not entirely true. Even in a Godless nation like the United States. If memory serves gays are batting 0 having lost 3 of the 3 votes this past November.
That does not surprise me at all since we all know telling a teenager not to do something guarantees he or she will not do it.
And of course educating them about the responsibilities of sex is a much less logical thing to do than just telling them not to.
I definitely do not agree with prearranged marriage and parents need to not only trust their children but also that they have taught them well enough that the kids can make their own decisions.No but the parents should control the dating and dealings when their children are around the opposite sex. In parts of Italy and Greece the parents always go with their children when they go out on a date or if 2 couples are interesting in marrying each other. Or even back earlier when parents would help pick a good humble wife for their son or visa versa(prearranged)
Dating in a controlled manner may be ok for minors but as soon as they turn 18 it would not be acceptable.I don't have problem with dating in controlled manner. But if the couple really like each other then they should get married.
I agree, if I were being followed on dates, etc. by my parents, I would definitely feel like they lack trust in me, and by extension, their own parenting. I'd probably emancipate myself, and/or get a restraining order if they insisted on following me around all the time. Frightening...I definitely do not agree with prearranged marriage and parents need to not only trust their children but also that they have taught them well enough that the kids can make their own decisions.

And I for one am 40 and still have not done enough shopping to be able to decide on a wife so you cannot expect a young couple to get married just because they like each other.

But those children to whom you are refrring are the product of a man and woman, not a same sex couple which is another reason against same sex union and why the Pope points out the gender confusion.And of course educating them about the responsibilities of sex is a much less logical thing to do than just telling them not to.
Abortion rates are decreasing nationally.
yes thats true, and these figures are even more up to date..
Thats sad. Can't say much about parents who let their children run out wild. A child emancipating themselves because they can't date the way they want, lol. What has this country come to, lol..
A child is supposed to honor their mother and father
Things were so much, much better in the good old days. Why can't we go back to then?
Women voting, LOL! What has this country come to?
Equal rights for minorities! LOL what has this country come to?
i've heard the opposite so go ahead and cite your statistics.
And please don't cite ones that compare today's birth/abortion rates to ones in, say, the 50s, as that was a totally different culture lacking things such as the internet and britney spears.
The issue isn't if they are obstacles or not (though they certainly are) the issue is that they forbidden by a higher law than even the law of the land. That is God's law. And yes that is the ruler by which the issue is measured. By human standards you are correct; sexual deviancy is not an issue. By God's standards it is.
I can't speak for the US as I don't know the figures but here in Britain the rates are rising. Disturbingly they are rising most in the under-16 population.

Even the Pope is bound to get something right from time to time it seems.
I find sour cream to be absolutely repulsive. The flavor makes me vomit.
I don't mind if you like sour cream, but I absolutely refuse to eat anything you put it on.
They may well overturn it but their overturning it isn't a reflection of the will of the people. And Ca wasn't the only state that voted on similar issues. Those aren't going to get overturned.
.
I've heard it all now. The pope complaining about other people's sexual morals. It would be like Bin Laden complaining about terrorism.
Considering recent events, no one from the Catholic Church should be able to talk about sexual morals for at least 100 years.
Equality and civil rights are not subject to the will of the people.
It will be overturned.
That's not true. You'd be hard pressed to find a single school that doesn't teach abstinence.Sorry Nathan45, but people are opposed to abstinence, it is generally not taught in schools or in may AID's programs.
Alsonot everyone can be relied on to use condomns, if there arent any, or if people are drunk they often dont bother, so why bother with condoms either?
