when we are defining the acceptability of inappropriate content, we have to define our terms. are we coming at it as christians or as citizens. as citizens, we have no legal leg to stand on to get rid of it. it is a first amendment issue and we have the right to turn it off, but not the right to turn it illegal. as christians, we have no leg to stand on defending it. it is gratuitous and does nothing to advance the cause of love. it is important to define the terms or we run the risk of blending christianity with our citizenship. they are not the same thing, despite the current administration encouraging an erasure of the line between them.
i personally know the harm that inappropriate content can cause. our 14 year old friend draper can't imagine himself losing control. we all do, draper. that is as good a definition of sin as any, losing control of the ability to live righteously. where you place the blame for that loss of control is another question, but we all do. if inappropriate content doesn't do it to you, feel blessed. many men do succumb to the lure of the lurid, and the fact that you surf the tv to see if any is on, "for lack of anything better to do,..." is not acceptable to the christian. there is ALWAYS something better to do. it's just we don't always do it. are u willing to say that there is any time that watching inappropriate content is the highest use of your time?
but we can not outlaw everything that might harm us, or we would all be walking to work. we have to realize what harms us personally, and then take responsibility for that. it can take something dramatic for us to realize that something is harming us, like an alcoholic having a drunken car wreck or a sex addict losing a job because of inappropriate content viewing at work. but once realized, it is on our plate. now what? the citizen may want to pass a law. the christian knows there is one, he has broken it, and now he must repent of the mistake. the citizen has the right to do wrong in the eyes of God, but not in the eyes of the state. the christian does not have that right, but sometimes has the obligation of defying the state.
long story short, yes, from my christian perspective, inappropriate content harms everyone that touches it. it dehumanizes, and us humans are pretty special to the Almighty. from a secular point of view, let the party begin, then punish the ones who can't handle it.
