I haven’t pushed back on anything, except defend the Constitution as it was written.
You’re the one that wants to carve out exceptions to it, which would blow back on you.
Reddit users are reporting Christian websites for violating Virginia’s new porn identification law, citing vulgar passages in the Bible
Using your logic, it’s safe to same about pedophilia....
Porn existed in the days of the Founding Fathers. They knew about its existence and they choose to include it by not excluding it.

A Utah parent says the Bible contains porn and should be removed from school libraries. Here’s their full challenge.

And these days the toxic males, especially any male who has “fun” or “enjoys” seeing attractive women on TV or movies or at a club, is castigated and criticized. Sexist. Chauvinist.
Women at a male stripper place are called liberated and worthy for being strong and independent. “You go, girl.”
Pedophilia harms children.
Just don’t complain when the Bible is targeted using the laws that you want passed and the exceptions carved out that serves your interests.
You will have no leg to stand on.
It'll affect PornHub and a small handful of similar sites that are located in the U.S.
Any porn site that based outside the U.S. will not be blocked. In fact, none of these sites are blocked. They only ask the viewer to go through a third-party age verification system to set up an account. The foreign sites will still be available to view without age verification.
You're not getting 80%. You're getting maybe 5% (but these 5% include the most popular ones).
The Constitution only limits the power of Congress, not the states. That is a matter of state constitutions. And no, the 14th Amendment did not, contrary to the court, extend this limitation to the states.
The brain is altered that has been researched.
Looking at images of naked people over and over creates a mindset where people in the real world are stared at and mentally undressed by the porn infused person.
Next age enforced access to Conservative and Christian sites?
I’ll take 5%. Whatever works.
Wow. Best story of the week here.
I’m sure the soldiers had to carefully examine the evidence for legal purposes.
To the best of my knowledge, the only ones who can limit the Constitution is the individual in their home or business that they own.
Yes and pornography harms children.
So why is it ok to allow one and ban the other?
Because we can prosecute pornography when it includes children, but adults are free to do what they wish.
The liberal would argue that the Bible harms children as well. You don’t seem to understand that the liberal is just waiting for pornography to be banned so he can include the Bible in that ban.
lol
Well said.
They tried to ban the Bible as hate speech against gays in other countries. Not just the prohibition against it in Romans 1:26–27 but also the story of the men outside trying to get into Lot’s house to rape the two angels in the days just before the end of Sodom and Gomorrah. Said to be hate speech.
That episode of WKRP where the religious leader got them to tone down Johnny Fever and rock songs one by one and ended up with his saying Imagine by John Lennon was “man centered and not God centered.” We could fight the atheistic song here as we did last week but hopefully not to censor it being played by others.
Yup, better idea
I agree, but the older people are also very much into it, as they masquerade among us.
The founders did not establish government to enforce any one religious morality. There is no enumerated power listed in the Constitution giving them that ability. Therefore its not in their wheelhouse.
Now, also, they lived in a time where almost everyone in America was some form of Christianity, and the states themselves had state endorsed denominations, and the state governors would give religious proclamations on certain occasions, but they depended on the religious powers that were, to give the citizens moral foundations and encourage morality they thought was proper.
Its not govt’s role to push religious morality. Govt needs to get out of the way of religions to do that. Go t isn’t equipped to do it.
