Good article except for the “addiction” part, I hate it when sinful habits are called “addictions.”

I also hate it when addictions are called “diseases.”

You won’t go through any physical withdrawal symptoms if you quit using porn. Oh you will probably miss it, perhaps pine and fret and fuss, but your body will not be going some sort of physical withdrawal like an alcohol or morphine addiction give you (which can physically kill you).

As for disease, cancer is a disease. The flu is a disease. Pneumonia is a disease. Addiction is done to one’s self on purpose through voluntary behavior, with perhaps the exception of the occasional sex slave who is forced on heroin or something to get her hooked so she’s enslaved for life.

Someone with cancer is a victim. Someone with an addiction may have some of my sympathy but it’s NOT the same thing.
