Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

No one here is referring to sex as a vice.

What has been objected to is the transmission on public airwaves (contrary to the FCC's own regulations) of acts that should remain private.

Try thinking for yourself and reading something that doesn't have Jerry Falwell's Hugh Hefner's stamp of approval.

You've convinced yourself that it's only old codgers, who have a sense of morality. You're wrong, as usual. LOL

There are people your age and younger, who aren't social liberals. What you have also failed to grasp, is that the pendulum has swung, throughout history, between libertine and what you would call " prudish " times. Each extreme is no good. We are now facing the nadir ( you would call it the zenith ) of lisencious times.

I'm quite aware of this. But you're mistaken. It's not simply a swing of the pendulum.

The entire clock has moved to a new location. It won't swing back over the same path anymore.

History may " repeat " itself; however, it's never exactly the same. And, you're dead wrong about the clock having been moved, etc. ! Technology changes, but people don't change. That's something you need to come to grips with. Neither you, nor I, or anyone else can say just when the pendulum will swing; however, rest assured that it shall.

No, I'm not for outright censorship of everything. I am in favor, though, for curtailments of some " popular " entertainment. It has only been about 40 years, that full bore lisence was opened up and that came slowly. It'll take a while for a reversal; which WILL come, whether you like it or not. Twas ever thus ... even in ancient times. :-)

LOL! I'll take the writings of a libertine over a con artist any day.

Uh, please reference the activities for which Jerry Falwell is a con artist. That is a specific accusation for which you should be able to provide an example.

That's like asking for proof that politicians lie. Some truths are self evident.

No. If you make an accusation, you should be able to back it up. Potshots do not an argument make.
