It's trustworthy if the reader can pull out the morals and stories trying to be taught, but not if they follow it word by word.

This is another debate entirely, and it can be argued either way.

Technically, atheism is a religion, and no one is forcing you to celebrate. Similarly, if you're christian, you're not forced to celebrate Chanukah. So why shouldn't Atheists have a holiday if they want one?

A man and a man or a woman and a woman, everyone has a right to happiness. Homosexuals are still human, and they have just as many rights as the straight man. I'd always rather see two good mothers together with a child than a man and a woman that treat their child like garbage.

As a user of oral contraceptives since the age of 15, I am obviously for the prescription of them for girls under the age of sixteen. Since I've started using them, I was never tempted to engage in "unsafe sex", because birth control does not protect against STI's. I was on the pill in order to regulate my dysmenorrhoea, menstrual pains that interfere with everyday activities, and that was how it remains to today. However, being on the pill and using condoms AT THE SAME TIME gives me assurance that my sex is as safe as it can be.
