The problem with these godless rubes is not whether the Law defines one way or another. The problem is that they possess these evil desires in their own hearts. So they will commit these evil acts in either case. Some will be restrained by the fear of the force of law. Some will not.
I am not without sin or even evil desires. What has restrained me from acting on these desires is not the Law. It is love of the God that created us. It is stronger than the instincts of nature.
A man is faithful to his wife, not because he has no attraction sexually or otherwise toward other women. But because his love for his wife is greater than these.
We are merely animals if we simply act on our base instincts. But I believe we are not merely animals and our spiritual nature allows us to act in higher manner.
Otherwise you are a "slave to sin" as St Paul put it.
Aristotle said, " Every thing acts according to its own nature."
So we can judge the nature of a man who acts out on his instincts in the stairwell of the Atlanta airport with a 16 yr old girl.
I for one am not impressed with this behavior. If we are to tolerate it we will get more of the same... and worse.
