Oklahoma lawmaker Dusty Deevers is a hardcore Christian nationalist

Again, separation of church and state is a myth...

I think that's our biggest problem right now. All of these religious assholes who somehow get into government positions.

somehow get into government positions

It's no great mystery. The rightwing show up to vote reliably. The leftwing complain online and get mad at each other for not marching in lockstep.

Oh lord another "christian nationalist" nutjob with severe mental problems. If he wants to persecute evildoers, he needs to start by putting a clamp over his own monsterous mouth.

It is NOT morality to condemn pornography. In fact, I believe it's far more idiotic and immoral not to watch "porn" (which I wish didn't have a name with such negative connotations to it). People put effort and money into making that s#it for our enjoyment (mostly us males, I admit, but it's there for everyone to enjoy).

They found cave paintings in Lescoux that show cavemen sex with animals and other humans, including kids. My point here is that "porn," which is a term that usually just refers to sexual congress between human beings, has existed FOR A REASON as long as human beings have been around.

I know it's not fashionable, "christian," or polite to make a statement supporting the viewing of sexual pleasure as a necessary part of life, but I hold with Larry Flynt's view of "relax people, it's JUST sex." The idea that human sexuality is sinful is perhaps the most evil idea ever perpetrated by man.

The one impulsive, pleasurable and inexpensive joy we have being labelled a sin and wrong is, to me, the real crime here. I'm not saying porn doesn't sometimes create victims, but for every instance of that, there are billions more who enjoy it and are not harmed but in fact are uplifted and given a healthy outlet because of it.

Something to think about - just sayin'.

Wait really? I can't find a source for that. This source says there's only one human drawing in there, with a bird's head. Are you thinking of another cave?
