I am fortunate enough to be blessed with a wonderful wife who doesn't mind me looking at other women, and can trust me that I would never touch anybody else.

The issue, however, has to do with the fact that women in Utah (obviously, we're talking Mormon women here, for the most part) take seriously the words of Christ who stated that adultery of the heart and mind isn't any different, spiritually speaking, from actual physical adultery.

The Book of Mormon teaches that fidelity is a physical and mental thing.

The Question is not whether Porn is Moral or not. It is whether Government should be telling us it is moral or not. And whether we can read it or not! Remember God himself gave man free will to chose right and wrong. And unlike Abortions, where the Child IS killed. Porn does not have a Death rate, only requiring minor regulation. Like sales to minors.

We should be very wary of giving Powers of censorship to the government no matter how moral the reason.

That's obviously fine with me since I am not a Mormon and have no intention to tell Mormons how to live their lifes. It's news to me though that Utah has a state religion and now tries to enforce this religion through the power of the state. No Mormon is currently being forced to buy a Playboy or to order a Sears catalog, and if they don't like these publications they are free to stay away from them. Why are they trying to force everyone else to do the same?

That has NOTHING to do with the issue. Following the Bible or any other book is a personal decision and not something that is to be enforced by the government. We do not need local, state, or federal governments instructing us on how to live our lives -- especially considering many of the lives of today's prominent politicians!
