I said you were suggesting, go read it again.
Funny you think that because you said "In a nutshell you are denying OMM there right but expounding every one elses rights." So yes you did accuse me of trying to deny them their rights.
You are not against porn as a Christian??
1. There are more outlets for pornography in the United States than McDonald's restaurants.(This is a statistic from the National Coalition Against Pornography.)
and your point is what????
What I am against is censorship. What if I became the worlds leading spokesperson for censorship and then they tried to censor the bible? I would end up looking rather silly if I then turned around and said no censorship is bad! So while I might like what they censor today I may not like what they censor tomorrow.
2. A child is sexually molested every 47 seconds in the United States. As many as 90% of the abused children questioned revealed that they were shown adult hard-core pornography prior to molestation. (Children's Legal Foundation)
and this has what to do with what I said? Oh right nothing. you are talking about a seperate crime. There is a massive difference between child abuse and consenting sex between adults being filmed for the benefit of others to watch.
3. Six hundred American males and females of junior high school age and above were interviewed about their 'out-in-real-life involvement with pornography'. It found that 91% of the males and 82% of the females admitted having been exposed to X-rated, hard-core pornography."Two-thirds of the males and 40% of the females reported wanting to try out some of the sexual behaviors they had witnessed. Among high school students, 31% of the males and 18% of the females admitted actually doing some of the things sexually they had seen in the pornography within a few days after exposure....
so at an age when kids are normally starting to explore their sexuality they express an interest in trying positions they see! am i supposed to be surprised there?
4. Interviews have revealed that 87% of child molesters admit to regular use of pornography: 77% of all child molesters of boys and 87% of molesters of girls admitted using pornography and imitating the sexual behavior in the pornographic material when they committed their crimes. Death row inmates have admitted that their rape and murder assaults were directly related to years of exposure to pornography.
i remember watching a video of James Dobson interveiwing serial killer Ted Bundy. I thought wow that shows a different light on porn. However when I did some research I found claims made by Dobson were flase and/or misleading such as saying Ted Bundy had a normal upbringing. Well if James Dobson thinks a normal upbringing involves being physically abused and being told that yourt mother is actually your sister even though that is not true then I wonder what he thinks a non-normal upbringing is.
5. Pornography is a $3 Billion-a-year business. (FBI statistic)
ok so it makes money that has no relevenace at all to the discussion.
6. Recently a Canadian study reported that teenagers (ages 12-17) were among the most interested in pornography. Dr. Aaron Hass conducted a study for the UCLA School of Medicine and interviewed some 625 young people. His findings revealed that those in this age group (12-17), were the primary ones pornographers aimed at. Other studies confirmed that more than 46% of American Junior High students were watching X-rated pornographic movies.
After alot of searching I finally found something of substabce that seems to be where that statement came from. it says that conclusion that porn is harmful to children (under 18 years) can not be proven. It also says that a main factor is poor parenting. That is that poor parenting was much more to blame than pornography. there were other things mentioned that made it look like selective quoting just to support a view.
Why Christians Should Take A Stand Against Pornography
Thanks Dags, go preach that pro porn agenda at church on Sunday. Funny what an anonymous person will say on the net where he cant be held accountable for his words, before his peers.
Funny how you assume I have not said this in a christian group setting! Once again you are wrong with your assumptions based on nothing. I have said this face to face in bible study.
"
Why should I attend a conference on pornography? I asked myself, "Why all the fuss? With poverty, child abuse, drug addiction, abortion, and AIDS making headlines, why join another "anti" cause?"
I attended the meeting. After hearing the shocking evidence of porns grip on our society, I decided I must join the crusade for the survival of the values I cherish and the country I love. Let me explore with you some compelling reasons why every Christian must join in the fight against pornography.
Pornography leads to idolatry. The central truth of the Christian religion is belief in one Holy God. "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve," Jesus said (Matthew 4:10). Ancient near-Eastern history documents the decadence of nations that worshiped the fertility gods using human sex organs as their symbols and prostitution as worship. God eventually punished them without mercy, as He did His own people when they fell into these pagan practices. Pornography supplies the symbols, the rituals, the stimulus, and the creed for worshiping the human body and its sexual impulses rather than the eternal Spirit, Jehovah God."
Biblical Reasons to Fight Pornography
heaven forbid you should actually try and make disciples out of them! No rather lets follow the suggestion of this article and just say fight against them making porn an idol. of course if you succeed in that they will just make something else their idol but hey lets not try and make God their idol!
I guess Dags peoples souls and what happens come the Day of God is irrelevant to you. Who cares about people who sin. Not you? Evidently?
Ah another conclusion based on nothing!!!! I have no right to judge sins of non-christians. What I am more interested in is witnessing to people and for them to become believers. I believe God will convict them of their sin after that. he may use me or others to do so.
What is interesting is that you did not quote the absurd claim that one must believe education is irrelevant if
