Nevermind, I don't feel like going around the circular logic of folks who are so open-minded their brains are falling out.

how am I so open-minded that my brains will fall out? I think child porn is evil, and no decent person would look at it or exploit children in that way. But completely digitally manufactured images break no law in their making. Granted, their communication is the deepest of human depravity. But the censorship too dangerous.

wasnt too long ago that the Catholic church decided the Protestant beliefs were "spiritual pornography," and I bet similar statements were made in the reverse. Thus, doctrinal books were banned under force of law.

Problem is that I fear the slippery slope. Once we have the government start deciding what speech is acceptable, and what is not, we've started the inexorable decline towards tyranny. And eventually, the government will decide that the preaching of Biblical Christianity is unacceptable to them. The marketplace of ideas can conquer pornography. But a tyranical government deciding what may be spoken, written and communicated is likely to decide that the Gospel is unacceptable.

This is due to your lack of brains, or your inability to engage it to function. Obviously you cannot discern the difference between virtual and actual. When you are capable of this distinction, you may understand, but that probability is low.
