"Liberty" isn't about the freedom to do evil.

Sure it is, so long as your evil does not harm another. That's the downside of liberty- sometimes people are going to engage in pursuits you might consider evil. However, unless that evil harms other people, you and the government have no power to ban such activity.

There's no such thing as personal sin. But regardless, I say otherwise. And here we stand, because it's all just people with different opinions.
