Should Pornography be banned in the US?

[Incelastan]

Your theory falls apart the second anyone who doesn't hold your exact beliefs comes into power.

As long as I can practice my religion, and as long as they are strict and authoritarian, I don't care what they do to me.

Well, at least you're honest enough to admit that you're an authoritarian. Unlike most of your ilk. That doesn't make you right. It makes you openly and sincerely wrong.

And you want to force this idea onto the rest of us why?

[Floofybit]

People should be under control to improve their lives for the better. They should learn unity, loyalty, and how to follow a higher power.

What is porn is someone's higher power?

Would a strict, Auth, controlling person allow that?

[Incelastan]

Subjective.

People have sex all over the place. That's how it works in nature, after all.

Not in my perfect world.

Focus on yourself. Be the change that you wish to see. And leave the rest of us the hell alone.

Freedom of expression/religion and the authoritarian state are incompatible.

To make the world a kinder, better, and more hallowed place

There's no way to force someone to stop believing something, so it doesn't really matter.

More likely a crueler, more oppressive, and superstitious place.

How is it kind or good to force people to live exactly how you want at every moment? That's torture for everyone but you.

Save your utopian tyranny fantasies for Kolob, man. Or the Celestial Kingdom or whatever the Prophet tells you for when you attain godhood or whatever.

Sounds kinda like BDSM...

Why would they ban my religion? Our scripture says to love our leaders and their are patriotic songs in our hynn book. Our religion is a government's dream.

Freedom of expression isn't everything.

It's an essential freedom for an open and pluralistic society. Which is one of my unbending principles.

So you don't care about the beliefs. You just need someone to tell you exactly how to live your life. That's fine (not really but whatever) you can probably hire someone to do that. Leave the rest of us out of it.

No, but you need some damn good reasons to limit it, and the case for banning porn does not meet that high bar.

They don't like it. It doesn't fit with their model of how everyone should live. Many dictatorships have banned christianity.

What does meet that bar in your opinion?

I'm telling him again to keep his authoritarian tendencies to his church and leave the rest of humanity alone.

An open and pluralistic society shouldn't be your desired society.

Perhaps because they have another religion they want to promote, or they really don't like your religion?

Why would a leader hate it?

At least until the next "progressive revelation," that is.
