So, I suppose he wants to get rid of the laws in his country.

Red herrings.

By that argument, there's no difference between a secular country's indecency laws and religious dictation such as yours or that of the Taleban.

Further, we also have a blasphemy paragrah in this country. It hasn't been tried to be applied in about forty years, and even then it was thrown out of court.

Although he displayed an impressive knowledge of the nuances of pornography,

Way to go with your insinuations, when what the discussion was about was your complete misunderstanding of the word "explicit". Go back to post 800 and see for yourself.

But if knowing that "explicit language", "explicit nudity", and "explicit sex" is not the same thing is "impressive", religious people like yourself are very easily impressed.

Oh, wait, we already knew that.

he doesn't know what a straw man argument is and is willing to contradict himself in order to indulge his hatred.

What a load of tosh: You're the one that had to look the word, resulting in you quoting the definition, making one yourself in the very same paragraph while accusing me of making one where I didn't.

You really are intellectually dishonest.

Kenny, I resent the fact that you ask questions and then claim that I'm pulling the thread off topic.

The proof is in the pudding, this is when you started pulling it off-topic with your very own private interpretation of the word "explicit":

If people didn't feel the need to insult those who disagree with them on some points, the thread would have been over long ago, as this isn't a very complicated subject.

Says the bloke who tries to hide his religious judgement behind rhetorical questions, intellectual dishonesty, strawmen and so forth.

And, you do know that women make up a slightly larger share of the voting public than men. I don't know of any mass movements in the US against deceny laws, do you?

See above.

I don't think you called me a "religious bigot" since I didn't insult anybody's religion or lack therof. If you did, then you must consider anybody who explains his opinion, bigoted. This is another example of a careless charge.

No, it's actually straight forward: You use your moral derived from your religious beliefs to judge others, and try to stuff your religiously derived morals down the throats of other. Intellectual dishonesty is no hindrance for you.

I'll continue if somebody has anything logical, non-hateful.

You need to take a hard look at yourself.
