If there are no " absolutes ", I would like to know where..........?

Question

you draw the line when it comes to pornography? And if you believe that there is nothing wrong with pornography, what about child pornography?
Absolute means free from control, restriction or qualifications.
A few people on here have said that they don't need a God to tell them how to run their lives and that they believe in evolution because it doesn't demand anything from them. I am asking this question to people who have no belief in God and have no need to adhere to God's laws as set forth in the ten commandments. We all know that porography is in, and for some of us, part of our lives, on our internets and so forth.

Answer 1

And the same people stop for red lights. Why? Laws come from Morals. Morals come from God's laws. The reason is you must have order in nature. Order comes from God.

Answer 2

What are you saying exactly? Morals draw the line. Some may argue that morals are relative, which I think you are assuming that all atheists use as their moral beliefs. Okay, so where do you draw the line? I believe that you shouldn't harm others. Child pornography is wrong because it hurts the child psychically, emotionally, mentally, etc. Therefore, I draw the line in the whole pornography thing at if it harms the persons involved in the act.

Answer 3

Actually most people who believe in evolution believe it because it's got, you know, scientific evidence and stuff.

That's right, no absolutes. Nothing is really free from control, restriction, or qualifications. Any good thing can be made into a bad thing by excess or lack of boundaries.

Although we don't accept your deity's rules and commands, it does not mean we have no sense of right and wrong, or moderation and boundaries. We're just saying we will use our own judgment rather than someone else's.

To prove it, look how normal most atheists' lives are. If we didn't have this judgment, this would not be the case.

Answer 4

But lines do need to be drawn. Look at Amsterdam and Sweden. They have a much more open concept of sexuality. I definitely draw the line at children. That's just perverse and children don't have the skills needed at that time to make sexual decisions. Also animals. Interspeices isn't even done in nature. (while gays has) But for the most part between yourself or consenting adults, if you're not hurting any one.

Answer 5

Drawing a line is fallacy. The point is there are no absolutes. A line delineates an absolute.

Answer 6

We draw our lines with our laws.
We also catch the bad guys and enforce those laws....god doesn't do that. We do.
And I thank those who do that dangerous job every single day.

Answer 7

You draw the line
And don't go there
