I said that laws are tools which are meant to enforce morality

That's their purpose

Which is why I would ban pornography

Because pornography is immoral. Not only does it harm the spiritual aspect of an individual, but it also destroys them mentally

"The entire point of banning something is to legislate that which is immoral lol"

Ni

Yes

you think that it is immoral

I dont

So?

How do you know you're right???

Pornography is immoral. It just satisfies the carnal mind

Who says uts objective

just because both of us have equal conviction doesn't mean both of us are right lol

I know

Which is why it should be banned

I'm saying why are you treating morality as if its objective

@valencia/Vaida That and it can cause addiction

Because i'm convinced its objective?

How

Because I'm a Theist who believes in a moral god

How is it objective when everyone constantly disagrees about moral issues

"just because both of us have equal conviction doesn't mean both of us are right lol"

Objective doesn't mean "all humans agree on it"

I know

But

Is the earth round? Some idiots thinking its flat doesn't refute the fact that the earth is objectively round

Objectivity would mean that it exists independently of us

yes

That doesnf make sense because there is nothing that states that doing something Is wrong or right

We put those labels

We decide that

No

Morality isnt independent of humans

@Sentient23 My question is what I should I say to those who do not necessarily use pornography, but who make a living off of it

I disagree. I'm a catholic, catholicism makes obvious assertions that moral absolutism is correct. I don't think that just because our perspectives on what's right and what's wrong wary, somehow means its subjective

@Sentient23 lol congrats you read james rachels

@Ater Votum If we agree that pornography is immoral, then promoting it is i would say even more immoral, since its making people indulge into more immoral things

I don't know who that is

He used the exact example u gave about the earth

Yes because its the most obvious example
