Live and let live. Some things are inherently evil and need regulating. Abusing children, for one. If consenting adults open their sex lives to the masses, and other consenting adults consume that product, why control that? Its still a slippery slope to try and force moral change thru law and regulation.
What you can do is live your life according to your own moral compass, and try to be a role model for those close to you. Effect change from within, and try to steer others in the right direction. Forcing compliance on the masses to follow your own personal principals is a loser. The immorality of murder, rape, theft, unwanted physical violence, kidnapping, animal abuse, etc is plain to see and requires action for the stability of humanity. All are offenses against others, without consent.
I understand many will quote the bible, and quote our founders quoting the bible, and show links between our Constutution and the bible. All are valid points. What is not valid is claiming that this country can not survive without its people believing in Jesus Christ as our savior and denouncing all things not in line with those values. One can easily adhere to the values of Christianity without being a believer and living life fully in the reflection of that.
A man who has affairs with other men, watches porn, and uses cocaine may be an awful person with a warped sense of morality. However, was it his choice to be attracted to men? Did the porn go looking for him, or was it the other way around? How about the coke? Would creating a law imposing criminal sanctions on adulterers actually have stopped him from cheating? Just as criminals are criminals because they dont care for laws, immoral folk are immoral because they dont care for morality. The answer isnt more restriction, and there is no quick solution. As with everything, it starts with YOU and FAMILY.
