> Exactly. When you look back 2000 years to Greek and Roman societies they shied away from any nude depictions of the human form. Nudity as we see it in society nowadays has only been around since the invention of Playboy in the 1950s

Right. When I stated that puritan morality existed 2000 years ago, that totally means that there were no displays of nudity at all back then. Everything has to be 100% one way or the other after all. The idea that different kinds of morality could exist among different groups of people, even across individuals, in the world in the same time period is just absurd isn't it?

I am sorry I thought that you meant that puritan morals have existed for over 2000 years not that they could have existed over 2000 years.

The fact that modern interpretation of Puritanism may have existed at any point in time is proof positive that pornography as currently defined is bad and should be banned
