Is porn bad?

So your argument is "because god said so?"

I suppose you are right, then. There really is nothing to discuss. If you're incapable of presenting reasoning for your argument that does not rely on the presupposed existence of god, then you're incapable of having a discussion with anyone outside your own theological framework. You need people to agree with you about god before you can even begin to talk with them about morality.

I'm not going to argue with you as to whether or not there is a god. Particularly the way you sprinkle insults throughout your statements. You've repeatedly demonstrated a marked lack of respect for people who disagree with you, and I just don't have the energy to deal with that.

If you'd like to invite others to discuss whether or not there is a god, you are of course free to do so. But that's not what this thread is about, so please start a new thread if that's what you'd like to discuss.

Here you insult my ability to reason and think for myself. Surrounding an insult with laughter doesn't turn it into a joke.

I think it is very sad that people rejecting existence of God can't accept this word Morality

Here you claim I have no morals. That is an insult.

as for discussing God as a prerequisite , well you can not answer difficult math question without knowing number there is a step by step procedure in everything in universe if you reject that there is no light how can you possibly discuss thing that you see because of light

Here, you make the claim that I am incapable of discussing, thinking about, or understanding ANYTHING, simply because I do not share your religion.

Again, I understand that there is a language barrier between us. You may not be fully cognizant of the way your English wording is interpreted by a native speaker. I want to assume good faith, but it seems very clear that you view me with contempt. Which, of course, you are allowed to do.

But as a member of this forum, I am choosing not to engage with someone who treats me with contempt. I will not reply to any further attempts to engage me on this topic, unless you agree to conduct our discussion with respect.

As a moderator of this forum, Further off-topic posts will be split off into a new thread.

@Kaynil , perhaps can I suggest some formal rules regarding debating etiquette? I know it's a pain but there doesn't seem to be much understanding about how to conduct a debate or what its purpose is.

@Servo
About this whole God thing. I'm answering because I'm an atheist, and I wish to be involved in this discussion, and so I have to address what you're saying about God. I do my hardest not to hurt people and to help the people I love. That proves that I have some sort of morality. So, if you follow what I'm saying, there are two possibilities: 1) There is a God. God gives me my morality, even if I don't know it. If that's true, my morality comes from the same place as your morality, and so we can all talk about morality and porn. Or 2) There is no God, and morality is a question of what each person works out for themselves. Is this is true, we can still talk about porn and morality. So, if there's a god or if there's not a god, it shouldn't make any difference to this discussion, because either way we can still talk about porn. I hope I'm making sense.

Want to type more but the baby's just woken up D: I'll check back later.

This thread was a split of another thread. This is why the first posts and the overall discussion sound off.

This was a diverted discussion from where we were sharing our tumblrs. I asked Servo for his opinion before I renamed the topic to be about porn Immorality and I added the Serious discussion Tag. So I basically changed the rules for him mid-game. At most only posts in this second page are post-topic change.

Anyway, to avoid unnecessary circles I am closing this thread.
I'll remake the thread and let's part from there. Sorry about that.
For those interested here is where you can discuss the topic:
