No, but there are a lot of rules and regulations on it. It's kinda like what the right is doing with abortion right now: we aren't getting rid of it, but we're going to make it way more complicated than it needs to be.
Quote:Wanton promiscuity? Lying? Cheating? Theft? Adultery? Ignoring the sanctity of life/procreation?
Yep - the bible takes the moral high ground there.
Not really. Several of God's chosen (according to the Bible) had multiple wives, not to mention concubines. I mean, really, Soloman had to have the ultimate out for the sleeping around rule; he just had 1,000 women that were 'his' so he could be monogamous by fucking any one of them. As for women, yeah, we had to only have one husband, which is pretty damn sexist if you ask me.
As for the sanctity of life, any deity who demands the death of anyone who works on Sunday, wears clothes made from more than one fabric or makes fun of a bald man cannot claim to give a damn for the sanctity of life. If you claim to worship such a God, neither can you.
Quote:Show me the atheistic moral argument against beastiality.
If atheism had a bible what would it say about men sleeping around... (what she doesnt know wont hurt her.)
Atheists make a lot of noise about closet pedophiles hiding in the clergy (along with all the closet atheists in the clergy) but not much noise about child abuse everywhere else - eg. Internet child pornography. How exactly does an atheist demonstrate that pictures of naked children on the Internet is objectively immoral?
Since you're so progressive and open-minded about sex (unlike those religious prudes,) wanna hear the pedophile's argument?
...look, they are enjoying it. (Same argument applies to beastiality)
...we pay them money
...opposing underage sex is a bigoted, prudish, old-fashioned attitude.
...nobody is physically harmed (Victimless crime)
...we have their parents permission
...when they grow up they will wonder what all the fuss was about. They will be more open minded about sex - unlike all those Christians who hate sex.
Wanna know my sexual morality? It's simple: anything consenting adults choose to do is up to them. If they want to masturbate, that's cool. If they want to sleep around, as long as all their partners are informed about what's going on, I'm cool with swingers. Pedophilia is out because of that phrase consenting adults. Beastiality is out, too, simply because animals aren't able to communicate their consent.
