is it ethical to have a child out of wedlock?

[The Reverend]

Members banned by Jim will remain so until he informs the staff otherwise.

I got absolutely no problems with it, was just making a comment. Y'alls board y'alls decisions. Being a mod on another board I respect that.

Sure ethics are personal.

If it weren't then there would not be any debates about homosexuality, abortion, marriage, cheating, and etc.

Your personal ethics dictate how you live. My ethics do not control your life.
While I might think that premarital sex is not ethical you might think differently.

I have to disagree about religion having a place in society. First 80% of Americans say they are Christian, thus we are not a secular society; second the further we stray from religion the worse things have gotten IMO.

If a society has multiple religions then how does it agree on what's moral?

Holy hell Reverend! No way will I be acquiescing to a request for pics from someone who lives near the stockyards. lol

I didn't know you lived in Forth Worth Rev (just checked, yep there it is). I stayed at the Stockyards Hotel once, those saddles as barstools were great

Sorr for the interjection, back to normal

That is a good question. Well laws passed down by the government take care of some stuff; murder, theft, abuse, and the like.


The other stuff like abortion, premartial sex, and such that are not illegal are based on each persons ideals and beliefs (aka ethics) This is very evident in America, just look at all the discussions on abortion and such.

For the most part as a society we agree on some things that are not ethical, adultry, cheating, lying, and etc. Soem others are still being debated. That is how a society sets a broad moral compass.

It is still the individual itself that choses whether or not to go by those moral or follow their own.

Also most religions have about the same basic ethical standards.

Sorry bout that,

1. There's an old joke been going around Cailfornacation for years.
2. Its a knock on Texas.
3. I heard it from the local jerks when I lived there.
4. Went something like, don't remember actually.
5. "There ain't nothing but steers and queers in Texas, *something else*, where the men are men and then the sheep are nervous."
6. But what is really funny about hearing a person from Californacation telling it is the shear ironic idiocy of it.
7. Every body knows all the queers either are born there are soon move to Californacation.
