Morality is not relative.

There are moral absolutes.

What if community standards say that murdering libertarians is okay?

Does that make it right?

Morality comes from Almighty God. HE Sets the standards. His standards of obscenity are what matters. He is the Real Supreme Court.

Prove "He" exists and then you've got a point to argue on. Pray tell, how can one make a claim of an absolute morality coming from the existance of an UNknown being?

Sometimes I think the holier-than-thou firebrand preaching of people like you is in jest, for your own amusement. But I fear it is not. You have a God-complex. You think whatever insight comes to you from reading the Bible is THE LAW, and it supercedes anything the legislatures or the courts deem to be the actual law. That's wacky. Whatever you believe about pornography is between you and God, you can discuss it with Him on judgment day if you like.

But here in America, we are not a theocracy. No amount of insisting or obfuscation on your part is going to change that. Murder (again, with your apples and oranges) is against the law because you've committed violence against another. You've violated their right to life. That's not permitted, nor will it ever be permitted. Any intelligent person can discern the diffence, but maybe my mistake is assuming you have any intelligence.

Go to a stump in your backyard and preach all you like. We don't have a Taliban here, we're not a theocracy. Some people don't buy into your theology and there's absolutely nothing you can do to force it on others. No, go pout and come back when you've got some respect for others.

Lest you believe I'm conceding the debate, let me say now, this is likely the last word I'm going to have with you on this topic. If someone argues with me that red is blue, I don't debate photo spectrometry with them. I simply leave them to their folly.

Where are HIS standards? Where is any record of God making legislation dealing with Obscenity or Pornography?
