1.) Never trust a religious organization with a political agenda, or at least have the common courtesy to blow a finger off come July 4th.
2.) Never trust a someone condemning abortion unless they've adopted a child.
3.) Birth control doesn't lose it's effectiveness or appeal after marriage, thank you very much.
4.) Never trust any person or institute that prioritizes sin. When was the last time you seen protestors outside of a trial involving shop-lifting?
5.) Never trust any person or institute that act as if God declined his exclusive ability to grant or deny salvation, and gave that ability to them.
6.) Never trust any person that chose religion as a career instead of a calling. These people are easy to spot, they dress in clothes you can't affort, drive cars you couldn't pay to keep insured, and live in houses above your budget. They pay for these things from other peoples handouts, and claim that preaching is a full time job (insinuating that they couldn't possibly get a real job and earn their own money, and that the bible is constantly being changed and updated, say like the medical field).
7.) Never trust a republican stance on sex (it's like trusting a democrats stance on gun control, just stupid).
8.) Never trust anyone that make people feel guilty about having a sex drive. This is a physiological drive, like hunger and sleep, and have no moral or religious merit on its own. Teenagers' monsterous libidos have nothing to do with inherent wickeness that can only be redeemed by guilt and repenting but has everything to do with hormone levels that would probably stroke someone double their age. Knowledge will guide our youth to handling sex responsibly, not demonization and condemnation.
