(Spoken as a non-parent)
I would have answered 1-5 had this been a multiple choice poll (although if you explained what you meant by "free spirit" I would likely disagree with you). As it is I answered 3, since all authentic happiness, morality, freedom, and right-minded politics is of God.

I truly hope you remain a non-parent for as long as you have that philosophy.
Since gender roles has been a big topic here lately. I am curious how DP feels about this topic.
I am aware that for the most honest answer, this would be a multiple answer poll, but I am more curious about top priorities.
Edit: Also the second option has a typo (before should be become) (if a mod sees that, would they be willing to fix it?)
And I hope you get better at coming up with somewhat original insults.

I wasn't really trying to be insulting, but when you say things like the below, that come off as highly arrogant and pedantic, I'm not sure what you'd expect otherwise.

I have to disagree as I didn't see his statement as pedantic at all. In fact the statement would indicate he wasn't trying to flaunt any knowledge or intelligence at all since such a statement was so completely bereft of either.
I would agree with the word "chauvenistic", however.
option #2
Being a good person is more important than being healthy and happy.
It's also important to understand the difference between options 2 and 5.
You don't think "all authentic" is pedantic?
So those of us who don't believe in god, his god specifically I'm sure, can't ever experience "authentic" happiness, freedom, and we have no morals and our political ideologies are "wrong"????
It's the "all authentic" part. Arrogant. Pedantic.
pedant: a person who adheres rigidly to book knowledge without regard to common sense

The supreme form of happiness is in experiencing the beatific vision. To live in a manner which is not directed to that end cannot result in a life of true spiritual joy, although it can produce temporary emotional feelings of happiness.
Authentic freedom is freedom from sin. While no one can be completely free from sin in this world, all freedom from it which does exist is by God's grace.
Natural moral virtues exist among unbelievers, however even these have their origin in God, although this is not recognized by the individuals in question.
Any political ideology supporting secularism or the establishment of a false religion is extremely wrong-headed. While it is possible for an unbeliever to support the establishment of the true religion, such would only be because he recognized, by the grace of God, that it was better for society on a natural level.
