While I certainly respect the faith of any person, not all people share
your beliefs. I am personally agnostic, and hold some very libertarian
beliefs. I don't have a problem with adult themed caches, or items, as
long as a person is given the ability to decide if that is right for them
or not. I would never like the idea of someone filling a "regular" cache
with adult themed material since the next person finding it would not be
able to make that decision. However, if the cache description clearly
states that there could be adult material present, you simply decide to not
visit that cache.
While it doesn't offend me in any way, I do remember discussion about some
of the religious based caches that were listed on GC were offensive to
those who did not share the same beliefs.
