Adult Entertainment as the New Religion (Fertility Cults): Why is this avoided?

Had fun at Bible study with some of the guys with a church the other day and loved hearing their insights with how men should be as fathers - and was blown away after reading through Exodus 32 recently with the Golden Calf incident - where Israel fell into revelry (also translated as sexual partying) when practicing idolatry waiting for Moses (as Calfs as images were associated with fertility gods/goddesses) - and in light of how many Cannanite cultures condoned outbreak of sexually wild living, it occurred to me that people checking out inappropriate contentagraphy are essentially celebrating another religion - literally. It's essentially saying "I belong to the Church of Asoreth or Baal".....

Moreover, it is insightful seeing how many religious elements are present in inappropriate contentagraphy today when seeing the names of sites (i.e. "Wicked Angel", "Devil's Entertainment", etc.) - and others noting how much the practices were done extensively in the name of Satan - and hearing the stories of others who have testified to the practices occurring in the industry where there excessive devotion to demonic practices in order to keep the industry going forward.

People like Joseph Sciambra come immediately to mind in his testimonies and that of many others who left.


Thus, with the expansiveness of the Adult Entertainment industry and the way it has crossed all sectors, I was curious as to what others thought on the following question: Is the Adult Entertainment industry today a religion or quasi-religious movement at the least?

To be clear, where I stand, I in no way support the Adult Entertainment industry and have been thankful for others exposing it - people like Shelley Lubben as an example and other places being "The New Drug" as another example...and many more besides that.

Gxg...pilgrim monastic could at least spell inappropriate contentography correctly?

Unless it is the case that one feels being petty establishes a point, it is rather inconsequential to discussion acting as if it was the end of the world to not spell a word correctly. If reviewing your record, of course we can point out differing times Arthra the Baha'i could be called out. But that would be pointless.

Moving on.

I can't see the connection. It's like saying people who watch MMA or boxing are basically worshipping some ancient gladiatorial blood god of chaos because people 5000 years ago made offerings to him before watching the spectacle. Not even close.

Referencing an MMA championship would be inconsistent as a rebuttal when ignoring where multiple actors/actresses already note their religious statuses - especially with Freemasonry and Satanism in the industry as the basis for why they do what they do. To ignore that would be like seeing a boxing match, hearing of someone saying they/their coaches worship Roman Gods of War and then saying it is not true because others do boxing on the basis of athletics.

Where things are highly explicit and other former actors/actresses have come out noting what happened behind closed doors and what they were not allowed to talk about, that is something that needs to be addressed. As one individual noted best:


That is the testimony from a former employee of the industry, as her name is Monica Foster and she has a blog citing the dangers of the industry. There are countless more on the issue, although it often seems to be the case that those defending the industry by saying that there's no religious aspects tends to come from backgrounds where they themselves indulge in it.

And to be clear, Alister Crowley was very involved in the industry and noted consistently its basis in the religion he was a part of.

I think you're looking for something that isn't there friend. Demon behind every tree and all that. But if it is giving you some sort of spiritual rush then who am I to put you down! I just don't agree is all.

Bruh, it doesn't really take any kind of looking for "demon behind every tree" ( reactionary argument, mind you) to note plainly what other adult entertainers have noted directly when saying what they practiced. That of course goes back to the simple reality that people gnoring what extensive performers have said either support the industry - or they don't want to address it. No one cares about any kind of spiritual rush , although by your argumentation one could say avoiding the issue gives you an emotional satisfaction for any kind of argument you give on a forum about differing religions...but to do so would be distraction.

The bottom line is addressing what other performers have said on the practices - from Masonic practices to Satanism and several other religious things. Whether or not one agrees is inconsequential to the facts of what others in the industry have pointed out when it comes to the abuses, the rituals and multiple other things going into what they do.
