Fornication And Adultery is a Sin!Whats wrong with looking at pornography? Im declaring war!If you took the time to read what I posted with understanding (and some real research) one of the reasons political and military regimes fall is because the moral fiber of that regime declines. The Roman Empire is a good example. As a Republic Rome conquered and although Rome continued to conquer under the imperial rule of the Caesar's who appealed to the baser qualities of human nature to maintain their popularity with the masses the despotism and immorality of the average Roman citizen was a major contribution to the decline in the political and military arenas because they "pissed" off those who were being oppressed by the political and military elite. You're putting words into my mouth - I don't want conservatives teaching my child morality, and I have absolutely no intention of teaching your children morality. I certainly wouldn't want anyone else pissed off at me because I taught their 8 year old that what their parents told them is wrong. I've dealt with this already when my five year old came home to tell me he's going to Hell because he's not a Christian - he heard this (among other things) from students as well as teachers. That is not their job nor is it their place.[/quote]I agree, but it is not the place of public education to take the other extreme. Christian or religious bias does not belong in our public school system but then neither does anti-Christian or anti-religious bias. The 1st Amendment prohibits the "establishment or prohibition" of religion. This same amendment guarantees free speach, which is used to protect the porn business and (strangely enough) silences the moral stance of religion, which in effect prohibits the free exercise of religion and free speach. I would say that there are far more people that view pornography that are *not* criminals. You could say that most criminals have a history of Christianity, that does not mean that Christians are criminals. I find it interesting you choose alcohol and tobacco as examples of criminal activity since prohibition (a social experiment that failed) actually promoted criminal activity. And in case you have not noticed smokers are being marginalized in all areas of American culture. Why is smoking being marginalized under the law? The potential health risks to non-smokers, which is the same reason those who oppose porn are out to eliminate this industry. The abuse of alcohol is illegal since public intoxication, driving under the influence, and vehicular homocide are crimes, also smoking in non-designated areas is also a violation of the law. The anit-tobacco crowd has effectively limited smoking and in public buildings including restaurants and bars and is out to prohibit smoking in private automobiles and even in private homes where children can be exposed to second hand smoke. What is telling about your rebuttal is your choice to argue from your andecdotal experiences and not from the strength of published studies. |
