Who/what defines morality?
Personal judgment
Religion
Collective reasoning (by society or government)
Does a secular government have the right to enforce morality? ie. Should abortion be a personal choice, with no state-government interference, in Wyoming?
Yes
No
Depends
Should media such as movies and video games be available to all ages regardless of its content rating (ie, PG-13, R, MA).
No, age restrictions are appropriate
Yes, there is no apparent harm
Why not? Children (minors) now-a-days are already very exposed to violence, cursing, and sexuality.
Is morality today changing or declining?
Changing: As times change, peoples' perceptions of how to behave are bound to evolve.
Declining: People tend to do whatever they please and disregard notions of right and wrong.
Why shouldn't the government create and enforce marriage laws?
Marriage is an aspect of religion. Government should be secular.
People should be allowed to marry whoever they please
It should to create order and maintain morality
During the 1700s, in the south, was racism justifiable? note: most of our founding founders were racist
No, the moral "all men are created equal" was and will always hold true.

No
Are the double standards in USA acceptable?
No, men are always expected to be courteous

No, women get the short end of the stick
Since America claims to be a secular government, should practices like the president placing his hand on the Bible when being sworn into office be revised?
No, it is an American tradition that should be upheld
I do not care
Yes, a secular government should not contain any trace of religion within it
In Luzerne County, Pa, a women was given a ticket for disorderly conduct for calling someone an "asshole" in public. Should profanity laws be enforced?
Yes, children may hear, besides excessive profanity should be accounted as a misdemeanor.
Depends on the severity of the situation
No, enforcing such laws conflicts with the first amendment.
