Conscience guides us

Dear Editor:

RE: Protecting children? (March 7).

Well, John Mifsud, and anyone else with that anti-Christian bias (hate has no home here), I’m not willing to give Christians the sole claim to the customs, precepts and morals that have established and govern our culture today. 

It’s not only Christians who believe there are things that are anti-productive to society, or just plain wrong. 

The only reason I can think of that anyone would not want to limit access to internet pornography for underage children would be that it would limit the anonymity of the adults accessing those sites as well. 

It’s simple: if you would be ashamed of others knowing you are on those sites, like your parents/spouse/kids etc., then you have the principles to know you shouldn’t be there. 

The Ten Commandments seem like a pretty good set of guidelines for a successful society to me, regardless of whether we got them from a higher authority or came to the conclusions from our own trial and error. 

The church might remind us, which you don’t seem to like, but it’s our conscience that guides us. 

We all know there are things that aren’t just wrong if you get caught. 

Paul Dunnill,
