Porn is absolutely destroying lives. It's ruining a close friend and his two children.

I could say exactly the same thing about born-again christianity - that I know people who are being destroyed by their addiction to their religiosity.

Note, however, that I do not say that the religion or its Object are destroying lives - the addiction of certain weak individuals to them are. In the same vein: "porn" destroys no porn consumer: the addiction of certain weak individuals to porn might be.

there's no hope for someone what actually believes something like this. well, a miracle maybe... but apart from that, a lost cause.

best wishes.

Oh brother! Do you know people whose lives are ruined by their addiction to golf? Or by their addiction to their work whatever it might be?

Religion
Golf
Work
Porn

The first three are not inherently immoral. The last one is.

Define "destroyed".

Do you mean they won't party anymore; won't joke about cheating; won't sleep around; won't say homosexuality is ok; don't pay enough attention to their friends and families; are giving up great jobs to go on missions; or are spending too much time helping the poor or prison inmates?

This is very interesting.
