D. All religions are going the same place; they are just getting there by different means.
E. No religion has the ownership of truth
F. Homosexuals are born that way; other “deviants” are born that way
G. Pro-Life advocates who believe in the death penalty are hypocrites
H. Creationism in any of its forms, even such as "Intelligent Design”; is not based on facts, does not use any scientific reasoning and its contents are definitely inappropriate for science classes.
