Medicine vs. Religion: HPV Virus Vaccination of young women

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended that women between 11 and 26 be vaccinated for the HPV virus. Religious groups are effectively banning the vaccine because they fear it will encourage promiscuity.

Why would you support the vaccines?

Why would you oppose the vaccines?

Discuss.

Discuss Mitt Romney's Mormon Religion Impact on his Presidential Candidacy

What do you think of Mitt Romney?

What do you think of a Mormon becoming President?

What are the analogies to John F. Kennedy's presidency, when people were concerned about his Catholic faith?

Will the concerns about Mitt Romney answering to the LDS church prophet be as baseless as the concerns about JFK answering to the Pope?

What about Al Sharpton's comment that "those of us who believe in God" will defeat Romney?

Has Al Sharpton stuck his foot in his mouth?

What do you think?

Should God be in schools? Should Religion be in schools?

I ask both questions, because invariably when I hear suggestions that God should be allowed back in public schools, it usually means some people instead want a particular religion in public schools.

If no particular religion is truly intended, then will Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Rastafarianism have equal space and time as the numerous Christian denominations?

What do you think?

Wikipedia is best source for neutral religious info

Wikipedia.org is probably one of the best sources for learning about religions. Because it has peer edit functionality, the information is the most factual with the least bias.

Learn about Christianity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity

Learn about Catholicism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholicism

Learn about Baptists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptists

Learn about Mormons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon

What other religion pages do you find helpful and informative at wikipedia?

What do you have to say about religion?

What do you have to say about religion?

Western religions, eastern religions, the difference between "real" religions and "cults", the price of faith, the history of religions, etc?
