Though some would consider me “immoral” by Christian standards, I don’t consider myself so — I simply have a different set of sexual ethics. To me, morality of all kinds is summed up by the Golden Rule, “Treat others as you would wish to be treated”. I am legislating morality because I believe that in a free society that people ought to be free to do anything they wish, as long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others to believe and do differently or otherwise infringe upon their rights.

In a diverse society like ours, we also cannot legislate morality, for the question would be, “whose morality?” Though Christians are a majority in the USA, we cannot impose Christian morality upon everyone. Indeed, Christ said, “I stand at the door and knock”, not “I come to the door and break it down”! And this isn’t even addressing the fact that not all Christians are in one accord about all moral issues.

I could go on, but I don’t want to leave a novel in your comment box.

Again, good points!
