Where I land: I won’t filter because I believe Bitcoin’s neutrality, treating all valid, fee paying transactions equally, is itself a moral stance worth defending. Not because porn or spam is good, but because the moment we accept “immoral transaction filtering” as legitimate, we’ve created the precedent for undesirable transaction filtering. Your approach doesn’t threaten Bitcoin. Normalizing filtering as standard practice does. As long as it stays “node operators can choose” versus “this is what Bitcoin should enforce,” we’re on the same team fighting for different expressions of the same principle. Individual sovereignty.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I am torn on that. I think there is a place for civil law to be a reflection of moral law. Indeed, I think each an every law that is on the books is an expression of SOMEONE'S morality. The question of how just a law is comes down to how well it reflects the only true morality, which is God's law, and therefore how well the civil magistrate fulfills his God-ordained duty to be a terror to the evil-doer and rewarder of the good.
