Questions for a religious leader of a Non-Denominational church . . .?

Question

I am taking a diversity class at my university. We have to answer what a religious leader thinks about all of the following questions. If you are a religious leader of a non-denominational church and wouldn't mind adding your name (or an email address so I can send you mine) please answer the following questions:

How do you feel about/what are your thoughts on:
1. [Public] School Prayer
2. Teaching of evolution
3. Teaching of sex education
4. Possible use of the best articles in Playboy to study literary styles in high school English classes
5. High school reading of short stories and novels on diverse life styles and values
6. Unmarried teachers who cohabitate with the opposite sex
7. Public school dances
8. Interracial dating
9. Pregnant, unmarried students attending public high schools
10. Planned parenthood clinics

And finally, what would your response be to the following question:
11. Why does God bring children with disabilities and handicaps into the world?

Again, I need answers/thoughts on all of the questions. If you do not have an answer, please do your best to tell me why. Thank you!

Answer 1

1) To each his/her own - not forced on non-believers - any religions that have prayer should be permitted to pray.
2) Evolution is not proven, it is implied. Removed it from fact and teach biology without reference. Create a course in "origins". Include all (or as many as possible) origins theories - theistic and non-theistic.
3) Promote more awareness of STD, that pregnancy is possible and that abortion has psychological impact. Push abstinence as a valid, valued option.
4) Use articles from all sorts of current publications. Use the photos - the human body is beautiful. Rather than hide it, open the eyes of the kids to how wonderfully we are made.
5) Yes. But give equal time to all life styles - no underground agendas.
6) Irrelevant.
7) Dances have become sex-fests in many areas because we fail on #3 and #4.
8) No problem, we're all humans.
9) No problem.
10) Address under #3. Remember to include abstinence as a possible plan.
11) Genetic failure, environmental impacts, all sorts of man made causes for handicaps and disabilities. It's what we as man do with them that makes the difference.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

How do you feel about/what are your thoughts on:

1. [Public] School Prayer - As long as there are Pop tests in school, there will be prayer in school.

2. Teaching of evolution- Should be taught as theory only, not fact. There is not any evidence of Macro-Evolution. A moth is still a moth, a dog is still a dog and a horse is a horse, of course of course, unless your the fabulous Mr. Ed.

3. Teaching of sex education. A great way to indocrinate students (see answer 5)


4. Possible use of the best articles in Playboy to study literary styles in high school English classes. I used to tell my mother I read the articles for literary styles. If you think that is the case, then edit the sex and remove the pictures. Do you still want to read Playboy or the Penthouse Forums?

5. High school reading of short stories and novels on diverse life styles and values. If assigned by the teacher in a government schooled, one should ask themselves "what is the agenda of the teacher/school?" Schools are institution to mold minds. What mold is in yours?

6. Unmarried teachers who cohabitate with the opposite sex. It beats unmarried teachers who cohabitae with members of the same sex, or cohabitate with students of any sex.

7. Public school dances. A great place to go to waste an evening.

8. Interracial dating. Who cares, as long as it is God Focused and not sex focuses. What is the purpose of dating? To have sex? To make out? It is to examine compatibility for marriage. If you are not compatible, then do not continue to date as it will ultimately lead to pressure for sex.


9. Pregnant, unmarried students attending public high schools. It beats the alternative below.


10. Planned parenthood clinics. An organization with a leftist agenda that is rooted in eugenics and racial cleansing. I pity the doctors that perform these surgeries for money. It is like being a paid mercenary.

And finally, what would your response be to the following question:

11. Why does God bring children with disabilities and handicaps into the world? You obviously haven't paid much attention in your biology or evolution class. Birth defects are not a result of God's handiwork, but the result of poor genetic breeding and external circumstances (environments).

Answer 3

1. Prayer drains our benevolence, preventing us from doing real good.
2. Evolution is pretty convincing. It should be presented as a convincing unproven theory.
3. Sex education should emphasize the reality of global overpopulation. If fewer people existed, we would all be richer.
4. Ridiculous. It would encourage too much population growth.
5. Uh, OK?
6. Sure. As long as there aren't 3 children involved.
7. Boring, but not necessarily immoral unless there is a fee.
8. Dating tends to lead to disappointment. I think nobody should date, at least how it is practiced now.
9. They shouldn't have gotten pregnant, but now that they are, they need to be able to support their kid.
10. How about Planned Nonparenthood? I am tired of this overcrowded world. Let's give ourselves some air.

11. Your premise is an assumption I do not hold.

Answer 4

to easily answer your question i might say the biggest difficulty between the Catholicism and the different denominational and non-denominational church homes is The Eucharist, The physique and Blood of Christ shared interior the communion. all the different stuff that human beings talk approximately are so minor and maximum the creations of what human beings want to translate them to. If the Eucharistic ameliorations did no longer exist you are able to call something purely politics form to assert. on a similar time as all of them declare the suitable for the country each and every party issues their way is better.

Answer 5

Look at the fake answers you've already gotten.

I think you have two options.
1 - Find local pastors of non-denominational churches. They will be happy to share with you.
2 - Look at the answerers on this forum. Pick out some that have shown you by their answers that they are leaders in non-denominational churches. Email them directly for answers. I expect that you will get detailed answers.

Answer 6

I agree with the first person to answer. Doing this in yahoo answers is a very bad idea. Look up a nondenominational church in your area or send emails directly to a few of them that you can find on the internet. But be very cautious.

Answer 7

I would defiantly suggest going to see a pastor on this issue. You may get some crazy people out there giving you misguided information. Pastors are more than willing to help you out. Just call anyone from the phone book. Good Luck!!!!!
