The daily liberal
[ QUOTE ]
Who should moral rules be decided by if not the majority? The minority? Church? You?
[/ QUOTE ]
The rules in every society should be guided by the principle of individual autonomy. In other words, I should be free to do with my body and my soul as I please, if I hurt no one else in the process. And that includes believing in astrology, scientology or the Washington Times. Or smoking cigarettes, getting whipped or piercing my penis. (I'm using in my examples what, by some, are considered extreme behavioral aspects, in order to make a point. Don't start bugging me about Prince Albert.)
The Church, the majority, or me, should have no say in anybody's personal business.
