• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why is there so much hatred and perverted pornography and over stimulating garbage on the internet ?

Pornography sells because people like it. OnlyF@ns is popular because people are willing to commoditize themselves. No product succeeds without demands. We're simply discovering the depth of depravity and hedonism that always existed.

It would seem to me that the bad outweighs the good on the internet there's too many evil people and evil videos and photos it's all too much.
The real answer to your question is, because print media are going out of fashion.

They do not arrest people in China they get sent to a re education center. After that if they do not reform them the become organ donors. Our Chinese student was more afraid of the re education centers then people are worried about jail here.
You have less than no idea what you are talking about.

This is where the rubber meets the road. When people endure the worst of suffering and yet we are told that God will cause all things work together for good. How can that be possible?
Possible if there's a god.

But I don't believe it.

Friedman is the most popular rabbi on YouTube, with over 450,000 subscribers as of February 2024. How many subscribers do you have? Married for 45 years to his wife, Chana, Rabbi Friedman is a father of 14 children ages 27-45.

It's surprising that you're basing credibility on the title and the number of followers the person has. Appeal to authority ain't what it used to be, I guess.

As I think I mentioned above, I agree that porn is pretty much useless. There are a number of claims worth considering: it devalues sex and persons, it gives an unrealistic expectation, it can be associated w/sexual explotation-abuse, it can put stress on real-world relationships, and so on. There's no need for appealing to YouTube authorities, religious figures, religious texts, etc. And if the goal is to make change, i.e., convince many of the problems w/porn, it makes better sense to appeal to reasonable arguments that can be supported w/convincing evidence.

I am appealing to his 40 years of experience as a marriage councilor. Are you anti sematic? You should know that we get our Bible from them. There is a lot more to the oral tradition then people seem to realize. The POINT is not anti porn. The point is that God's plan is for there to be intimacy between a husband and wife. This is what makes a marriage work. When I am sick in the hospital my wife does not leave my side unless they throw her out. She continues to pray for my recovery. They send me home because they know she will take care of me. This is the sort of devotion that make up for a real marriage.

You've lost the plot and my interest.

Exactly right, Bella. The only difference is with OnlyFans, for the first time in internet history, adult entertainers and nude models are calling the shots on how they want to represent themselves. They are not being used by some greedy pimp of a webmaster, and they can charge what they want for people to view their content. Plus, if anybody on OF reproduces their videos and photos without their consent, they are liable to legal proceedings.

Still not a good thing.

Lots of religions have lots of things to say. But Jesus went to Calvery for us to pay the price. Only Jesus can save. There is NOTHING better than to worship and praise God because that puts us into alignment with Him.

Eight billion people in the world and it surprises you that people are interested in sex.
There is God's way and people do not understand what HIs plan was for adam and eve. There is a lot in the Bible about how we need to overcome the flesh and our carnal nature.

What is "overcome the flesh" and
" carnal nature" ?
