That's taking it way too far...there is a big difference between two adults consenting to something and an adult and a child doing something, even if the child "consents" to doing it. You heard it here first, us gay rights supporters are going to turn into pedophile supporters! Sounds a bit racier...I can't wait! We're moving up from PG-13 to R, baby!

See my post on the first page; I was referring to my reasoning that morality today depends on the number of supporters.

Yeah, that's about it :/
The usual reason giving by nonreligous people for deciding what is moral is whether or not it harms someone else: if it doesn't it's good, if so, it's bad. Yet, at the same time, many also accuse the religous (the conservative Christian, in this situation) of forcing our morality upon someone else (which is, apparently, bad). The hypocrisy of it is is that holding others to the standard of harmlessness is just as much a forcing of standards as is the Christian movement against homosexuality. For instance, I could ask the nonreligious, "Why is hurting people wrong". If he says "Well, it just is", he is no different than the Christian. If he says, "It's wrong because we must preserve the human race" which merely leads to the question "Why is the preservation of the human race the right thing to do". After enough questions, it eventually comes down to "I just want it that way", which therefore reveals that the ir forcing their preferences on others, which is what the Christian is accused of doing.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made. I won't open my unworthy mouth.
