The problem, as I see it insofar as this thread and others, is that there is a double standard.
IF you were to go on a web search for models, you would find pics that reveal as much cleavage, thighs and rears as one would see in other establishments and other materials.
This thread is about immorality which does seem to be in the eye of the beholder.
Of course it doesn't stop there. Sitcoms, dramas, movies. Regardless, it leads back to the same conclusion.
Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Alcoholics are not free of accountability because bars exist.
IF someone knows they are incapable of being in a certain setting or seeing certain material, they should abstain from putting themselves in those situations.
Except for the double standard part, which you did not explain, I agree with the above as accurate enough to agree with, as far as it goes.
What you, as a nonbeliever, leave out is the accountability factor. Accountability, on ALL sides, ultimately to God. Not just for one's actions but for the impact one's actions will have on others, who in turn are responsible for THEIR actions. NO ONE involved in these scenarios is morally off the hook, but that's what's been ignored or misrepresented in every one of these threads. THAT'S been the double standard here.
Immorality may be in the eye of the beholder
to us, but ultimately it's in the eye of God. Some of us believe that; others don't. Some who
say they believe it don't seem to believe it very strongly. But without FIRST agreeing on what exactly morality/ethics/modesty is, this kind of thread will always go nowhere fast.
Do you want to try herding the cats on that one -- see what people believe "morality" even is, and where we get it? Artie used the term first in this thread and I don't even know what he considers moral and immoral, but I'll bet it doesn't sync with my definitions.
