    Why do some Christians become biblical literalists?

    - lack of proper education - lack of protection of children from indoctrination (by their parents) - lack of intelligence and critical thinking - flooding of the public space by religious messages - mental health problems

    At What Age Should Sex Education Start?

    Simple: a good few years before the age of consent. For example, if the age of consent in a country is 16, sex ed - I'd think - should start around 10 or 12. Demographics are important too, kids are having sex earlier and earlier, so such should be taken into account as well. Of course the...

    Kissing in public

    As long as it isn't too in my face or going too far. Mostly I find myself irritated by how cheesy some of those couples get, which hasn't really got anything to do with kissing.

    Sex education in school - what's it about?

    Being in education myself (on sexual diversity) I think sex ed is very important in the attempt to promote healthy relationships for coming generations.

    Is homosexuality a choice?

    It was a joke. I wasn't trying to prove that homosexuality is not a choice. I offered a perspective on why people would keep this ridiculous question of 'is it a choice?' alive.

    Is homosexuality a choice?

    You could just ask. I think the question of choice is not so much a search for truth, but rather a keeping-alive of doubt. There are people in this world who need to be able to tell themselves that homosexuality is a choice, in order for their system of belief to hold up (or at least part of...

    Is homosexuality a choice?

    Walking around knowing you're gay deep inside, in a world that seems to hate you for that thing that you've kept secret, does peculiar things to a human being. In the struggle that being closeted is, some even start hating themselves or their 'condition'. That closet can have a distinct and...
