You're already assuming a conclusion with that question. Does everything have to be about apparent or obvious harm to be prohibited? Secondly, if we were to prove harm, would it deter you?
The secular West has adopted the philosophy of "everything goes as long as it doesn't harm me", which falls apart at scrutiny. This philosophy has also invaded their Christian population, which is why you see they caved to pressure.

- azth 5y agoThat's not me. I suggest you remove that link from your comment as you're doxxing people. I'll be reporting your post.
- dwaltrip 5y agoYou haven't explained your opposition to gay people. Can you please do so? I apologize for assuming it was due to some imagined harm.
- azth 5y agoDefine "opposition". In any case, God forbids homosexual relationships. Whether the harms of such relationships are apparent to us or not is secondary.
- dwaltrip 5y agoI see, thank you for explaining. I don’t believe in any gods so that doesn’t hold any weight for me but I’m glad I understand your position better.
- azth 5y agoThere's only one God actually. Not believing in anything mean that you have no basis for absolute morality.
- dwaltrip 5y agoHumans evolved a sense of morality so that we could live and work together in groups, which helps us survive. Morality is effective at doing this, regardless of any notion of absoluteness or not. I still have moral views despite not believing in any god.
- azth 5y agoThe moral views you have are remnants from both (1) fitrah (natural disposition, which is not free from corruption by the way, and (2) a Judeo-Christian view of the world. While both of those religions have been corrupted, their still exists remnants of Truth that people cling to, whether they are aware of that or not.
- dwaltrip 5y agoOf course my moral views are affected by my culture. That is a big part of how morality works. I encourage you to learn more about evolution. The evidence and coherency is overwhelming. “The Greatest Show on Earth” by Richard Dawkins is a very good brief overview of the evidence. It’s quite stunning.
- azth 5y agoWhat does that have to do with the existence of God and Him being the source of morality? Also, Dawkins is a suspect figure to say the least, he's all over the place and clearly has an agenda.
- dwaltrip 5y agoMorality didn't come from God. It came from hundreds of millions of years of mammalian evolution. This is why I'm discussing evolution.
