Wow, I've changed in five years. May 14, 2017 (the date of the previous post) was actually the first Sunday that I voluntarily went to church without being asked to by friends/family. Jesus would soon change my life.
Here are the ones I'd change now:
Birth Control (91%): Barrier methods are fine for married couples, but I don't believe in traditional birth control
Divorce (73%): Only in the case of sexual immoralityPre-Marital Sex (69%): Wow, was I misguided there. I thank God that I never had pre-marital sex though. 100% unacceptable.Gambling (65%): I'd advise against it. Less of a clear-cut Biblical issue than others. My conviction is that I won't go out of my way to gamble, but also won't refuse to play in a fantasy football league/March Madness pool just because it has an entry fee.The Death Penalty (58%): UnsureSex Between Teenagers (36%): Unacceptable (I suppose with the caveat for married teenagers, but that doesn't really happen now-a-days)Cloning Animals (32%): UnsurePolygamy (17%): Unacceptable (deleted the "except for Mormons" part because Truth is absolute, not relative to your belief set)
