Sorry to fan the flames here, but as Christians, we believe our value system
is absolute, because it comes from God. There is only one God, and He has
only one value system. It is laid out in His Word. Plain and simple.

Oh I just love when people who argue with a Christian point of view take
everything out of context like this. I'm sorry, but pornography does not
equal "anything having to do with sex". The fact of the matter is sex is
one of God's greatest gifts to us, but it is intended to be done within the
confines of marriage. Pornography is simply a perversion of this gift.

I also love it when anyone who presents a Christian view is immediately
labeled self righteous. Christians are in no way self-righteous. Our
righteousness comes only from God through the redeeming blood of Jesus
Christ.

It is sad when all that is good and moral and pure is looked on as bad, and
those who try to uphold these things are laughed at and called self-righteous.

As Christians we are commanded to say what we believe. And we have been
amply warned about the worlds responses.
