The harm principle is not mine, much as I'd like to claim credit, but that credit belongs to John Stuart Mill, a famous liberal philosopher.

What is "wrong" and what isn't, if no others are harmed, falls down soley to personal beliefs, such as yours that have been imbued by christianity. It isn't something that can ever be pressed onto someone else. Morals, as a tangible entity, do not exist. There are merely varying human interpretations of the world around us.
