look into whether or not polygamy is unconstitutional. Can a legitimate
case be made in using religious freedom to justify marrying more than

reflected in our marriage roles as husband and wife?

Questions:
1. When it comes to freedom for religious groups to preach and
evangelize in public settings like a park for example ... what, if any,
limits should be put on religious groups?
2. Our federal government has recently indicated it now expects a 50

financial pressure on the next generation, or to find ways to cut back
on programs now?
3. Do Muslims have certain days set aside for rest or for worship? If
so, why is it so important to have a specific day to do this on -- as

right direction or is it a slippery slope?
2. If it's sinful to not care for one's health -- where do you draw the
line on what foods to avoid?
3. What do you think of the claims of Jesus Christ being resurrected?
Did it really happen?
4. Does the concept of a private/public combination health care model go
against any of your religious convictions?
