Have been reading all these anti-porn postings. Fine and dandy. But, it seems like a lot of teasing. When are you gonna post some really good pictures of what you’re objecting to, so we can see what’s on your mind?

(sorry, just couldn’t resist that!)
carry on!

Maybe you should be the one spending more time with your family.

I for one appreciate your posts and the wisdom contained therein. If you feel compelled in love to put these posts out there then do so without care for those who don’t see the need!

Bless you and have a wonderful Christmas!

Your post is eye-opening to say the least. That having been said, I would suggest to you that it doesn't go far enough, because it only addresses pornography.

I suggest to you that the real thing can be as bad and worse, if it is engaged in outside the bonds of matrimony.
I was a youth pastor once. I can't tell you how many young men and women I dealt with who had a totally unbiblical view of sex. God gave sex to men and women as a gift, to be shared between a man and a woman in the bonds of marriage ONLY. No one wants to admit this, but the results of the lax attitude people in America have about sex are obvious: broken families, teen pregnancy, STDs etc. There was a study done once that showed an interesting statistic: nearly all sexually transmitted diseases could be eliminated if all unmarried people would stop engaging in sex for a period of time (I can't remember how long). God's plan is obvious. It is up to men and women to follow it. The results of not following it are also obvious.

Stalk? I hardly ever click on the OP's threads, but I see all the porn related threads she posts as I pass by.

Frankly, her obsession with the subject has become annoying, which is why I posted my viewpoint on it. Now do you have one yourself, or are you just trying to pick a fight?

This thread is posted on the Religion Forum. The main guideline here is to discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Fair enough. I don't believe I used any ad hominem in my initial post (or any subsequent post), but I'll try to make it even less personal the next time I comment.

The author of this thread used religion in his story. I posted it in the religion forum for this reason.

I also posted it in the religion forum to keep the pro porn comments out!!!

What annoys you is of no concern to me. She has every right to post on topics of interest to her without being personally attacked.

You can knock off the snarling hissy fit. The Religion Mod already fired one shot across our bow, and I've said that I'll keep it impersonal. I suggest you do the same.

There is, in men, a reverence for the female form that I think would be difficult, if not impossible ever to fully convey to a woman. For the average man, the female body is imbued with a sense of mystery and of meaning that rises very nearly to the level of the mystical. Every detail seems to whisper promises of happiness, of excitement, of mystery, of adventure, of fulfillment.

And the ever-growing welfare state. You're right, very few want to talk about it, because they're attacked from every direction if they do. One can be concerned about "family breakdown," about disease, about man/woman relationships, about crime and social chaos, about welfare-mother as a career, even about abortion (as long as one is apologetic about it), but to point out that all of this is the direct and predictable effect of sex outside marriage, and that sex outside marriage is always wrong, for everyone, is intolerable to most.

What an odd criticism. Some of us come to FR to read a wide variety of subjects the whole year long. Turn off your computer and go look at nativity scenes and twinkly lights and eat a cookie already if that’s what you want.
