Sorry, I’m at work, and switching back and forth between productive endeavors and posting. I was trying to get a feel for the consensus about how far government should go in enforcing moral behavior.

Liberals go as far as they can in enforcing their own morality - recycling, saving the planet, hate speech, gun control etc. I’m just looking to see if being a conservative means the same thing to the people I’m corresponding with. Does it just depend on whose morality the government is enforcing?

There are not alternate, or separate but equal moralities.

There are moral absolutes, which are the same in every monotheist religion (as well as some that aren’t, such as Buddhism) and are the foundation of human civilization.

Any more questions?
