But don’t mistake your personal opinion for Moral Truth or the law of the land. If it were, I’d have eggplants (aubergine for you Brits) banned tomorrow.

Why can’t the British eat or drink anything unless they place a table cloth on the table first?
Normal people know that what your particular preachers say has no bearing on what is or is not legal.
Say by creating an environment where people do the thing voluntarily, et voila.

Here’s a neat mental exercise:
When you ban porn, you turn porn production into a criminal enterprise. Criminal enterprises are run by…

And what you personally consider icky has even less bearing on what is or is not illegal. You think porn sex is icky? Fine, you do you, bruh.

That’s not a coincidence.
