I think there is some confusion as to if you mean, for example, that same sex marriage is moral or not - as in it is morally right or not - versus if it is a moral issue in the first place.

I take it that you are asking if these are moral issues in the first place?

If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy. Flemming Rose (Dutch journalist)

Pretty sure he means whether you think that particular action/activity is moral or immoral. He's not asking whether they should be considered as a moral issue or not.

All of the activities are "moral" (whatever that means), but he left a few of my favorites off the list!

1) Animal sacrifice / seal hunting

2) Incest (consenting adults)

3) Human organ sales

4) Dog/cock fighting

5) Topless news anchors

Economics trumps Virtue.

Oh, ok.

I guess then it becomes this: if SSM is moral does that mean it is moral as in it should be allowed or it is moral in that it should not be allowed?

I presume the former?

  • Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds.
  • Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location?
  • The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

1) Animal sacrifice / seal hunting

According to Leviticus, animal sacrifice is moral. It certainly beats human sacrifice. As to seal hunting I'm hoping Saskatchewan bans it soon within its boundaries.

2) Incest (consenting adults)

Ask the Hapsburgh family

3) Human organ sales

Yes, saves lives.

4) Dog/cock fighting

Cruel and encourages sadism. As White Fang, the protagonist in a Jack London novel.

5) Topless news anchors

If after the kids go to bed.

I'm generally okay with all but #5, depending on circumstances.

Is greed moral? What degree of selfishness must you evidence before it becomes greed?

If you have a really good job and make a lot of money, and your brother has very little, do you share with him? If not, is that moral?

I think some of these issues are too complex to be given a simple yes/no answer! Like abortion or assisted suacide, it depends.

I'm OK with 2 and 3, and in some circumstances 7 and 14. I am OK with drinking and driving in the sense that I think current BAC levels are too low.

I'm interested in combining as many as possible at once, like a porno of a same-sex married clone committing adultery with a first cousin while high.

And then killing himself.
