Your philosophy sounds very similar to communism or Nazism in that nothing matters except the smooth running state organization.

I can only thank God that people like you are in a small minority.

I don't mean a "smooth running state organization", I mean society (culture, civilization) in a larger sense. What I'm trying to say is that people's behavior should not be infringed upon unless there is a compelling societal interest (necessity) to do so. The mere fact that part of society finds a behavior immoral does not constitute a compelling societal interest. It's about personal freedom, not the efficiency of the state machine...
