"Pornography is not "speech." Obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment."

I see. Since what is considered "obscene" is open for interpretation what do you plan to do when a future liberal legislature decides that religious teaching is "obscene" and bans it?

You realize that many liberals already consider the bible to be "obscene" don't you? They would ban it in a heartbeat if they thought they could.

Thankfully the courts don't seem in them mood to ban much of anything these days, so I think both you and the liberals are out of luck/

When the left can apply the Miller v. California test against the Bible, they will.

1. that the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to prurient interest; 2. that the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable law; and 3. that the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, and scientific value.

I will not abandon morality simply because the insane left champions evil as good.
