The Legality of Evil (like porn)

[_Sethbag]

I have not seen 2g1c and I intend never to do so. I know what it's about from having a friend tell me, and that was all I needed to know.

I'm still trying to figure out what Abman is on about here. He seems to be fishing for justification to start banning things.

Just remember dude, active Mormons constitute probably less than one percent of the population of the United States. If you start allowing the religious sentiments of the majority become law and bind everyone else, it'll be someone else's religion deciding what you can see and do, not yours.

If you don't want others trying to enforce their beliefs on you, then you should see the logic in not trying to enforce your beliefs on others.

The very title of your post "The Legality of Evil (like porn)" really doesn't make any sense whatsoever in a secular society. Evil, outside the realms of people actually hurting or infringing others' rights directly, is usually a term that finds meaning only within the context of religion.

Part of it is a gripe about our legal system. It seems somewhat arbitrary to me (e.g. obscenity laws). Part of it is me wondering whether society isn't full of people who only claim to like free speech when it suits them and then wish to suppress it when they find it bad (hate speech, obscenity, etc.). If you really want to know how I feel about laws, it is as I stated earlier, "I for one would like everyone to just leave me alone, and by everyone I mean not only government and laypeople, but also God and sometimes even my conscience."

Well, frankly I wish God didn't exist, or at least didn't care about meddling, but God's existance is independant of my wishes.
