As opposed to the impossibly hypothetical society where the oppression was severe enough to completely prevent any of those actions? What sort of society can control people so completely?
So, to answer the question: yes, the world is a better place when people are free to choose their actions themselves and get punishments if necessary afterwards if their actions are judged as sufficiently harmful to others by the rest of society. Why would you want to live in a society without the freedom to choose your own behaviour?

how about "accepted as legal"?
pedophiles aren't free to choose their own behavior

Maybe you can compare it - as I did in another thread - to smoking: Smoking is no longer embraced, celebrated, or accepted in our society, and it is banned in almost all public places. But it is still legal. The secondary effects on society have been curbed.

Is society better with pornography, adultery, abortion, divorce, and racial equality accepted?
sorry traci, i had intended for this to be a poll for Christians
perverts like you are welcome to participate, but don't expect much consideration

Its only negative if it becomes compulsory.
Abortion is working a harm against someone who should have a vested protection under the law. It's wrong to conflate that with a number of other things that are properly a matter of choice for the individual.
We don't sanction adultery, which is one grounds for breaking the marital contract and actionable as a tort in most jurisdictions else (tortious interference with the marital estate).
Every religion I'm aware of sanctions divorce, though the root is more or less restricted from faith to faith and the same is true at law in relation to jurisdictions.
So is there a decent question among the mistakes you make here...well, not mistakes so much as an intentional attempt to lump things together that don't belong together?
Sure. Here it is: are we better for permitting people to make moral choices that don't interfere with the exercise of another's right?
Yes. God gave us that capacity to begin with, which was the point of my answer in the other thread.

For the same reason that you pretended to read his answer, perhaps?

My answers by no mean perfect but
Holiness is worship, If I compelled by law how is it worship?

With the exception of abortion (which should be illegal because it always ends the life of an innocent child), the others do not fall in the category of *accepted* but allowable.
Unless an action can be shown as something that always destroys or intentionally harms another human being (like abortion, murder, rape, child molestation), a *free* society would no more forbid it's citizens from the above than it would from smoking and drinking.

Why do you think it is that so many people who are opposed to abortion are also opposed to same sex marriage; and many who support same sex marriage also support abortion? :think:
I am not one of them, so why are you asking me? On the same token, why do *you* suppose that so many people who are against divorce and SSM support the relationship of older adults preying on teens under the guise of marriage?
How is it that you lay claim to Christianity (a thing I don't dispute) then make a dishonest statement like you do above?
God sanctions divorce. So you'll have to take up your issue with him.
I literally noted adultery isn't sanctioned and is actionable. Representing me to the contrary is dishonest.
I've stated my opposition on abortion both in your separate thread and here, to say nothing of years of objecting in scores of threads around here. Suggesting anything else is dishonest.
Pornography and homosexuality are sinful. I don't think sin makes a society better, but I don't think legislating every moral choice does either.
Said the only one of us to willfully and repeatedly write a thing you know is untrue? Peculiar.
And that's sort of the problem with most of your questions. They have a flawed premise.

*caveat
I kind of agree with you here. The difference being in what I perceive to be harmful enough to society to warrant criminalization that you do not. And the fact that you think society [mob mentality] should decide that, based on subjectivity rather than objectivity.
