Glad you pointed this out. This is one of those tired cliches people feel obligated to say, but it is without understanding.
Hefner was like the rich man in Luke (16:23,24). After he died, he immediately lift up his eyes in Hell (Haides) tormented in flame. There is no happy ending for the unsaved dead. This is the fate of not only the Hugh Hefners of the world, but of all unbelieving.
But it doesn't have to be this way. For it is God's desire that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all.
Very well stated! The Playboy mentality that Hefner and Hefner-wannabes developed and sold to society as "freedom" has nothing good or positive to contribute. It boils down to hedonism and the only ones enjoying their sin for a season are those who haven't reaped what they have sown yet.
Wow, I didn’t realize Ross had it in him.Well, his last name *is* pronounced "do that".
Dennis Prager asked this question on his Happiness Hour (Friday at 10 am PST) this week. Does hedonism bring happiness? I didn’t hear the whole hour, but he basically proved it does not.
Religions welcome sex. But sex is between the right people at the right times. And that makes it deeper and more meaningful, and more joyful. I’m sure Hefner felt that if sex wasn’t nasty, disgusting, and made you both embarrassed and lie about it, you’re doing it wrong.
Actually, I wish I could have sown a whole lot more. Then maybe there’d be a little more reaping.
HA! Excellent evaluation of a nonsensical topic Sparklite. I’m going to stand in remembrance of the death of the 1st amendment ..then stand in honor of common sense and the love of humanity......and our responsibility, as a species, to support our future....together.
In order to stay relevant to the thread ... Ya’ll should read this.
Yeah, I'm sure that happened...
"Sex with so many hot women turned me into a homo!"
Good grief...
Would you also admire the drug dealers, the kiddy porn producers, the sexual slavery of children? Demand and supply, right? Can you name one positive that Hefner brought to the world that didn't negatively cost someone else in some way?
So the embarrassment here is Playboy’s for fronting Trump?
LOLOL
C’mon Ross, tell us how you really feel about the guy.
Douthat has to kick Trump. Disgusting.
Trump has not been a saint, but he’s no more another Hefner than he is another Hitler.
And for displaying to the world Marilyn Monroe's tits, the Lord cursed Hugh Hefner with a long life, great wealth, and so endless hot poon.
And now he's burning for eternity in the fiery pits of hell, or something like that.
Oh please. He sells a magazine showcasing beautiful naked women and they talk about him like he destroyed the world and commited genocide.
Get over yourselves. It’s just pictures of females and they have existed since man rubbed stones on cave walls.
The “sexual revolution” was a natural result of the pill and advanced medicine. Nothing more. And nothing short of blocking medical progress could have stopped it
Odd that there is no nonstop condemnation by Hitlery and the Wookiie, of women who eulogize and supported Hefner.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. (Galatians 6:7-10)
ugh..You’re asking me to do homework now boatbums. It’s late. I’ll close with Hef gave you the ammo to continue your ability to stand on your bully pulpit and defend your narrow situational unawareness. Go nuts and keep fighting your good fight.
The Constitution and its amendments let us do this sh*t. Ain’t it awesome???
The NY Times did a full column on him in 1964 and advertised for him.

Hypocrites.

I didn’t hate Hefner as much as Ross does, but I never understood why anyone admired him.
Like I said, I wish I had done a lot more sowing.
But as a part of the NY Times he had to end with a jab at Trump. I guess if he didn’t do that he would be considered a traitor.
Trump is no Hugh Hefner.
As for Hefner, he was all those things in the article but one more thing I’ve always perplexing. How does a man go through an entire life and not love? Surely, he never did because he was able to toss off all his wives and go on and on and on to other women without looking back.
