Does child pornography include a drawing of a nude angel from the Vatican?

That's the problem with saying "never". Very few things in life are so
simple, or so absolute.

<sarcasm>Well that's convenient.</sarcasm>

Most people in this world follow one religion or another. And by saying
"forget about religion" you are imposing your particular atheist views
on everyone else. :-)

Again, I don't like those "absolute" policies.

What if a particular religious symbol is offensive to most people. For
example, imagine a cult that believes in something really horrible that
99% of the world finds abominable. I don't know, child torture,
whatever. And they start adding in their hate-promoting logos to OCAL.

Is this likely to happen. No, of course not. But that's not the point.
My point is that we can't have such an absolute rule. We need to, at
least, be willing to make exceptions. Just as nude angels should be
except from the policy against child porn.

Cheers,
Daniel.
