you shouldn't let your personal beliefs turn into law, otherwise you will interefere with other people's freedom. you can tell your daughter to be a virgin, fair enough, but you can't expect everyone else to feel the same (not even your daughter) in a FREE country.
They are using goverment money to tell children condoms don't work. Thatīs like not only a lie but it's fucking immoral.
if we allow ANY religious or institutional group take control of a large part of the media, we're not making sure we live in a free state. Religion/ politics/ media should be different things. People should be free to look for their religion rather than have it adverstised to them and suffering pressure and hostility in certain environments for having different beliefs - like you are doing to me.
I am not saying people shouldn't be christian. I am saying shoving christian values down people's throats in places where they have no choice but to be at (eg. school) is not democratic. Expecting people not to have civil rights because your church is against same sex marriage is not democratic.
I can tolerate them, so they have to tolerate me.
your post is so irrational it makes me nauseous - that's exactly what iīm talking about - the inability to NOT take things personally.

Oh I took nothing personal. And I do belive in the separation of church and state. I just notice that whenever the topic of god is brought up you are there shouting how much christians hate gay people and won't let them get married. So it seems that you are taking things quite personally to me. I was only reacting to the evident hostility you must harbor towards christians. Not trying to shove anything down your throat. You posted on the thread on your own accord and it is a thread that pertains to religion.
I do not belong to a church nor expect them to make the law. I just think that abstinance should be taught as well as protection. Protection is not fool proof. Why do you think there are so many herpes medicine commercials?
Politics took over media a very long time ago, I think the bible channel will never be able to take em down.
The whole public school debate can get pretty hairy. Is it wrong to give people the choice of school they would like to go to (home, public, private) using tax money or is it wrong to let them "choose" to go to the grade F school in thier district because they cannot go anywhere but where the government mandates.
Separating church and state can get pretty difficult. we got that whole "in god we trust" on the money. Pretty much most of our constitution was based on christian beliefs. One Nation under God.
