The idea that good and evil are up for grabs, and that Christian faith has no say to define it is bigotry.

Good and evil are very straightforward, you don't need any book to learn it: just do as little harm as possible, and help when you can. That's it.

The other kind of good and evil, the one encoded in government laws, should not be involved with religion. Religion is notorious for being biased towards its members, it's not a trustworthy source of justice.

How do you define harm? I hope you have a straightforward answer.
There is ample evidence pointing to the harm porn has on people and families.
Could you share some of this evidence that hopefully isn't from obviously religious sources or religiously funded?
Porn addiction is a treatable mental illness in all first world countries.
So is sex addiction, food addiction, videogame addiction and many other kinds of addiction to things which are pleasant and normal yet maladaptive when overdone.

GP was asked to substantiate the harm of porn, not the harm of porn addiction.
