Brent, who gave you the right to decide what my morality should be?  If in my
heart of hearts, I feel that something is wrong, to me it's wrong, and I must
act on that feeling unless some other principle overrides it.

To all of those who suppose that I have not right to do what my morality
tells me to do: If it doesn't prompt you to action, it isn't really morality.
If I feel that sexual promiscuity is wrong, and a detriment to society, I
have a moral obligation to act on that belief.  In point of fact, I did not
advocate any sort of penalties upon these people; all I did was express my
distaste.

This business of morality being purely a matter of taste is moral bankruptcy.
It absolves anyone of ever having to worry about the morality of anything.
