It would just be highly atypical for a single man not to have pornography is his recent viewing history, especially when he would likely have no moral qualms about it.
There is no porn in my viewing history over the last 72 hours.
Even if there had been though, what's your point?
It's an activity that is not only perverse, but it helps continue the exploitation of vulnerable young women.
What if everyone in the video are consenting adults and entered into it by their own will without coercion?
It is an exploitative industry.
That's why it is illegal to sell one's organs.
Further, most of these people get caught up into a lifestyle that though they do so by their own free will, they are encouraged into negative habits that make them dependent upon the industry.
It's an activity that is not only perverse, but it helps continue the exploitation of vulnerable young women.
How is it perverse? Who says they are vulnerable? Why just women?
Same goes for the men. It is perverse because it is not an activity people would do in public for everyone to see, hence it is a shameful activity.
Many industries are exploitative. However, like any industry that has exploitative elements, there are also legitimate and non-exploitative parts of the industry as well.
As such, the problem isn't the industry, it's the exploitation. If we can work to make that go away, would you still have a problem with the industry as a whole?
I don't believe anyone in porn is selling their organs... I think trying to film a porn while hocking your right kidney would not work very well.
Actually, there's a fairly substantial demographic of people who have had sex in a public area at least once in their life.
You are distracting from the fact that you likely partake in an activity, without vetting it, indirectly hurts people. This is what I talk about when I say you, or me, or anyone is not a good person. If you dig hard enough, there are things like this in everyone's lives. There were things that I was totally unaware of that I then realize I was in the wrong and then correct. I am sure there are things I still don't see now, which I will find and then correct.
It is illegal to sell organs for the same reason pornography is immoral, because it is inherently exploitive.
I find it funny that we can disagree upon ethics on a subject that we can both understand pretty clearly. I think it proves my contention throughout this whole conversation. Whose measure is the morality that we gauge God? I find our, very human view of morality so malleable it is useless to make declarative statements about God's justice.
Yes, and there also people who molest children and do other acts. The existence of a few people doing an activity, without any apparent shame, does not make it any less shameful.
But, let me focus the point I am getting at. Is there any activity at all that you partake in, in recent memory, that you are shamed of, even a little? If you say no, I just think you are an outright liar.
I am ashamed of tons of things I did, like how I ran my business and how I related with my wife. I am ashamed when I lose my temper. These are very human, common things. If someone lies to win an argument to say they have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, then I think it just proves my point, as there person is so ashamed of their shame, they cannot even owe up to it.
As for personal relations with people, I can't recall the last thing I did which I feel shame over. Not to say it's never happened, obviously I've made mistakes along the line, but I can't think of anything in the recent past.
But again, as I said earlier, I put a pretty conscious effort into not doing things that would cause me to feel shame or regret later on. If you treat people well, you generally have nothing to feel ashamed about.
The point is, you admit you have done things that you are shamed of, that can be constituted as "evil" to some degree? Of course not every single thing you have done is overtly evil, but my point is that you have done evil things before and will do so again.
Being that an evil person is someone who does evil things, why can't I accurately call you evil?
What you are saying is that you did more bad than good, and that excuses you. But who is the judge that you did more bad more than good? Yourself?
It appears your view of justice is egocentric. I am not saying that as an insult, but a plain statement of fact.
No, what I'm saying is that I've done far more good than bad, and that qualifies me as a good person on the whole, but not a perfect person.
And who said anything about a view of justice? I never brought anything like that up.
Because you just declared yourself good, but based upon what criteria? Where is it written in stone that doing more good than bad makes someone good?
Because if say, 95% of the things you do are good and the other 5% are bad, it's only reasonable to call that person good.
What's your justification for saying otherwise?
God's assessment that all our "righteousness" is as filthy rags.
God's assessment that there is none who is good, no not one.
