The guy is right.
Porn was bad enough when men had to buy video’s , or go to theaters that had porn. Now,with the internet, it is so easy to get that people spend hours surfing first one and then another site.
Thank you for posting this; good fuel for the soul. We need bullet-proof armor, and only Jesus can fullfill that. Stay in the word, stay in prayer, keep lifting up everyone in this country (in one sense we’re no better than the rest of the world, however, remembering FR is all about this country specifically...hope that makes sense).
Metaphysically, it is sin, no question.
But these effects are bull. The only major real-life effect is that women freak out and give you hell if they catch you. And that’s not even mentioned.
I have two big problems with porn:
First it distorts peoples views of what a normal relationship is.
Secondly it is demeaning especially when you realize every one of these women (granted it is by their own choice) is someone’s mother or daughter.
Porn is an evil perpetrated by satan himself. It is used mainly to alienate husband from wife, but it’s also satan’s device to introduce youngsters to it early on in order to completely destroy any natural bashfulness about sexual matters.
Lay off the guilt trip.
Better things to spend time on.
And Third...it is highly addictive!
“First it distorts peoples views of what a normal relationship is.”
I absolutely agree with your points. The problem is, ‘mainstream’ movies and television also distort people’s views of what a normal relationship is.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
Jesus proves that the Truth is indeed the right Way for all times.
Only God could be so wise!
Not with Firefox. It blocks the annoying pop-up ads.
Using Explorer? Porn is definately wrong.
Same old same old. Here we go with Republicans wanting to act like democrats. “We know what’s good for you!”
Porn is no different than alcohol. Use with moderation and you’re fine. Abuse either and it leads to trouble. End of story.
Yes, are there weak people who can’t handle porn and let it ruin their lives? Yes. Just like alcohol.
The problem is you then have people wanting to “ban” the substance/behavior for everyone. The smoking Nazia are very similar.
It’s about Freedom people. We are free to do things in the privacy of our homes. Some people drink, some surf porn, some people spank their kids.
Who decides what’s right? I believe the Bible says it’s ok to hit your kids right? Spare the rod and spoil the child and all that. But many people consider striking a child in any way to be abuse.
If you want to live a Christian life and follow the Bible that’s great. But guess what? In America it’s ok not to believe a word of the bible. Or, on the contrary, preach Bible as much as you want to whomever will listen.
Nobody forces you to look at naked women/men having sex. Remember the greatest gift god gave us all: FREE WILL.
I have a question for porn-viewing men: I just saw your wife/girlfriend having rather intimate, yet intellectually challenging conversation with a man over a cup of coffee, followed by a romantic walk in a park. How does THAT make you feel?
Some men will NEVER understand that although they purport to be “starved” for or addicted to certain things, women are starved for OTHER things—things their sex-obsessed husbands either are refusing to—or are incapable of—providing. So while you slink to your computer, you might want to look over your shoulder. Wife may be “lusting” after the attentions of a coworker or friend.
Yes, but porn (and drugs) is what brings Republicans and Democrats together! (To shred the Constitution)
Ask Antonin Scalia about the limits to the Commerce Clause or read his opinions and throw porn and drugs into the conversation and he’s positively a New Dealer on it!
Free Will has been at the center of theological debate for centuries beginning with the heated debate between Erasmus and Luther. Luther rejected the concept of "Free Will". Maybe a better defense for pornovoyeurs would be "the devil made me do it"...
Porn is on the pathetic side of the sin of Lust. It’s on the same scale of patheticness (that’s not a real word but it ought to be) as DIY Sex, for which it is custom-made for.
Is it really a big deal? No, it’s a small deal, and a stupid reason to Sin. And because God does not use a sliding scale for Sin, porn is a stupid reason to go to Hell for.
