As to your first point, it completely supports my argument. Statutory rape is against the law....even though it may not involve violence of any kind, and is between consenting individuals......because of the morality of society's determination that the age of consent is 18.

I see the problem. Your definition of morality is simply what society agrees it should do. I thought you defined morality as G-d's word. I define morality as the intentions and decisions made leading up to whatever behavior is acted out.

So to legislate morality, by my definition, is to legislate what one may or may not think. And that is patently offensive to me. (In essence, it is 1984's 'thoughtcrime'.)

And I note that you dodged my list of laws. I had the courtesy to address yours... yet you do not for mine?

I didn't 'dodge' your specific list. I dealt with them under the umbrella of 'someone's morality.'

It's been clearly stated here multiple times that laws are based on someone's moral views. That's why we want moral, patriotic conservatives in office. So there are no more laws based on leftist, Marxist values.

I hope we at least agree on that, because if we don't, then you're more liberal than libertine.
