I don't care where you get your morality from. But I detest that you don't have any logical arguments with which to back them up. The religious love to meddle in other people's business when their own business is far from neat and tidy.
What you don't understand is that I can live my life as a good person and face the world without the help of an imaginary friend. My sense of good and evil is probably pretty similar to yours. We're not so different, you and I.
Libertarians, as a whole, are one of the most self-centered, rude, inconsiderate, narcissistic group of people I have ever encountered.
Since we're engaging in hyperbole...
Religious people, as a whole, are one of the most mindless, naive, repressed, pompus and self-important groups of people I have ever encountered.
I'll tell you what's worse than spoiled children in adult bodies: naive, repressed children in adult bodies.

Declaring an argument irrational doesn’t make it so. Humans are social creatures, and the quality of those social interactions affects the welfare of all the participants. This is why even most libertarians concede the legitimacy of the general crime of disturbing the peace.
So, if one wants nudity or other quasi-sexual displays in one’s home, one might make the argument that it was no one else’s business; but if those same bodies are placed in the public marketplace they do indeed become subject to public comment and opinion.
The public square belongs by definition to everyone, and everyone gets to express their opinion about the bounds of activity within it. If oen doesn’t think one’s team can win such a debate, that’s represents a flaw with one’s argument, not with the nature of the forum.
