Sorry, but there's no "God-given" right to privacy. That's a "gift" from the Supreme Court in overturning state laws restricting abortion.
The everything-is-permitted-between-consenting-adults theory leads to some pretty disgusting and degrading results. No civilization anywhere has survived under such a decadent philosophy.
Most religious folks would like to think there's no right to privacy. But if not, then what is the purpose of the 4th Amendment? If no privacy exists, why even have rules for the infringement of privacy? Of course, the 3d and 9th confirm that a right to privacy exists. I cannot conceive of liberty and the pursuit of happiness, without the most basic of rights...privacy.

We seem to be doing alright so far. Any examples?
My basic philossphy is "Keep your Bible out of my bedroom, and I'll keep my moral compass out of yours".
Western civilization has indeed survived, -- despite numerous episodes of prohibitionary fervor.
In the USA we've allowed our zealots to operate under the 'victorian compromise'.. -- IE, you can have your blue laws [and even occasionally enforce them - on the lower sorts] as long as you let the rest of us pursue life & liberty.
-- Dictating "cohabitation" is a bit much. Get a grip.
