I'm really not trying just to keep bumping this thread up to the top. I think the results really are interesting. As I was looking through the results this morning, it really seems to me that the choices that got the most votes were the most general of the statements, while the specific options received much fewer votes.
Is it because we really don't have an understanding at all for the reasoning behind the church's stance? It seems to me that the more specific reasons that I was able to identify are too easily answered.
Of course, it could be like many seem to believe - it's not for us to understand. But are there really any commandments / church policies for which the underlying basis is unknowable?
