How about the one where you love liberty?

I do. "Liberty" isn't about the freedom to do evil. That's kind of absurd, doncha think?

Just curious - would video of a married couples sexual activity be pornographic in your mind, if only they watched it? Or does it only become "porn" when it's distributed for public use? Is it the medium, the act, the participants, or the viewer that makes it porn?

Would it be a sin to use such tapes in sex therapy to improve a marital sexual relationship?

If a married couple should watch each other in the mirror and enjoy it, is that un-Christian?

What an absurd statement. Whoever defined liberty as the right to do whatever you please?

Sure it is, so long as your evil does not harm another. That's the downside of liberty- sometimes people are going to engage in pursuits you might consider evil. However, unless that evil harms other people, you and the government have no power to ban such activity.
