More than watching our own eyes is required. There must be moral outrage expressed and teaching done. People who are found to imbibe in pornography in any way must be prayed for and helped to realize how terribly wrong it is and helped to escape it. Those who market it must be treated as a scourge to society as well they are.
Try putting out the fire in just your own yard in the midst of a forest fire and find out how far that gets you. If you don't think it is that serious you do not realize the attack to very moral fiber of our society. Children in particular are paying the high price with sexual molestation and horrible murders. If people just stopped and thought about what the "sexual revolution" has done to society and individuals therein we would not, could not put up with it.
Very well said, Bellflower! And that is exactly why I started and have continued (now with wagglebee’s help for some time) the Moral Absolutes ping list. Just to do my duty.
Self control is the heart of the Christian walk and being flippant or dismissive about it scarcely helps. It may soon no longer be any more possible to control “society” than it was for the first century church to do so.

Very well said. I often see retorts like; “Don’t like porn? Don’t watch it”, and other similar type nonesense. What you said is a clear example of why morality matters. And that if you don’t believe morality has a place in our political and legal systems, then you aren’t paying attention.
Morality has always been an integral part of our legal and political culture. From the Constutuion onward. Problem is.... Now we have those whose moral values are sick and depraved calling the shots.
