9. Christian Fundamentalists and the “Danger” of Internet Porn:
In this chapter, Mills argues that it is wrong for Christians oppose Internet pornography and for Christians to try to ban internet pornography. He presents some psychological research related to how pornography affects teens, and discusses politics. However, again, since Mills has presented no moral standard that transcends his personal moral opinion, there is no reason for him to rationally value his opinion about what is morally right more than Christian Fundamentalists’ opinions.
