I would definitely not approve of your hobby and in my view it would be wrong. Indeed society in general views these things as being wrong but it is nor true for all societies at all times. This is why an evolving morality is superior to the ones set down eons ago in harsher societies. Societies were you would send your dughters to be raped rather than offend a male guest. Societies were slavery was A ok.
Morality shifts.
At the moment its shifting for the better. 

Our society accepts being gay as not immoral and that is better we are more tolerant of other faiths or no faiths, better.

A few problems here. Wrong according to what? Your opinion?

Now your getting it, Yes my opinion

Well, no lines exist on the court then how can it be out? Essentially you are comparing where the ball landed against some imaginary line you created in your head. Exactly the same if you say OM does not exist then say such acts like rape are wrong. Well, you are comparing it against some imaginary line in your head.

You are talking about rules. Rules are set by society. For example in Saudi Arabia they will arrest a woman for not having her head covered or walking without a male. That is the rules and morality of their society.

Yep those sorts of things.

Can we have that again in English! Thanks awfully.

How can something be wrong if it is subjective?

Because in my opinion it is wrong.

I also think that pineapple on pizza is an abomination.

Funnily enough the bible says no.
But then I have superior morals to the Abrahamic god.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
