Not sure exactly what you’re trying to say here but I believe you, like a lot of people, have cause and effect backwards. You think a lot of Christians are deviants, instead of realizing that a lot of deviants like to claim to be Christians. It is a way to cloak themselves. That’s not to say that sexually deviant people can’t genuinely be trying to live a Christian faith, but there is a big difference between someone who is trying to be better and fails occasionally vs someone who is simply trying to hide or excuse his lifestyle.

There are causes and effects “sexual deviancy” is your phrase I’ll go with “lust”.

“Lust” is a virus passed on from one person to another through actions like words and looks, touching the wrong way and actual instances of sexual abuse.

My experience is that I inherited lust from sexual misconduct against me.

I learned that sex with self was a pleasurable experience because someone else touched me sexually when I was young.

This stuff happens all the time often in a church or family setting that seems safe.

You ever wonder how Josh Duggar ended up where he is?

Someone close to him did something to him before he did what he did to others and what he did with child porn online.

The whole Christian subculture was drug and drugged into “wokeness” over the Top Ten of the Lord in the 1990’s.

Coach Bill McCartney crying over his racism when his daughter was impregnated by a non-white football player.

The problem is laid out in Commandment Seven which is about my lust and everyone else’s expounded on in the Sermon on the Mount.

God Bless the memory of Coach McCartney but I think what he needly to deeply consider and I hope he did was lust in the family.

Did he lust for sex or demonstrate in his behavior lustful looks that younger family members noticed.

When the child sees the adult looking at porn, looking at people’s bodies in public, staring etc. a message is passed to the next generation.

Consider this writing from Roy Kuljian (Roy K).

It’s called “A View From The Pew”...https://sastl.net/recovery-reflections/a-view-from-the-pew/

Forget COVID, lust is the pandemic and in all my religious drama (pride,vanity) I failed to see the truth about my lust and other wrongdoing like lying and stealing I was spiritually blind indeed.

I meet many people on a regular basis whose “Christian experiences” resemble my own.

I lied to myself and I hope you are not lying to yourself right now.

All these theological thickets the “system” as Roy K puts it in the linked material are keeping a lot of people from the Lord right here and right now.

No kidding.
