Seriously. Religious types can be so nosy!
Who cares weather or not two consenting adults have sex in the privacy of their own home, no matter what their gender is? They're not making you watch.
Who cares what someone else does with their own body? They're not forcing you to do it too.
Who cares if someone wants to smoke pot, or get a tattoo, or watch porn, or do whatever, as long as no one is getting hurt?
It's great if you stick to your "moral code" or whatever, but not everyone has the same code, and you shouldn't try and judge everyone based on yours.
Why do fundies feel the need to try and regulate other people's lives for them?

Yes!
The people who are focused on OTHER people's sex lives are the REAL perverts!

They like to say that's exactly what they're trying not to do, but we all know better. The thing they don't seem to grasp is, morality is subjective. Like how the teen pregnancy rate is higher among middle-class Christian girls, how big of a drug and alcohol problem there is with middle-class Christian teens, (both of these particularly in the Midwest) how many serial killers (John Wayne Gacy and the BTK killer spring to mind) claim to be Christians and had strong ties to their churches... stuff like that. The problem with trying to legislate morality is simply this - if you take something away, the more people are going to want to do it. And the more laws they will break in order to do it. Freedom to do whatever we want/have to do is of paramount importance to this country. The Christian Right need to wake up and smell the coffee - if you try to take away too many rights and privileges, it won't be long before you find your own slipping away too.

Maybe they never read this verse from the Bible.
1 Thessalonians 4:11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you,

'as long as no one is getting hurt'. There you go, sticking your nose in other peoples business. If people are getting hurt, apparently, you want to get involved. If you are opposed to child porn, or poison in dogfood, or dumping toxic waste in the lake, you too want to regulate, its just that you have different limits.
