So I was visiting my parents house a few months ago and while trying to print something for my mom I discovered pornographic images on my dad's laptop. I haven't said anything and its eating me up inside. It seems like every church service since had been about keeping marriage pure. Should I tell my mom what is on the computer?

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.
What should I do?

Hmm, rather than go straight to your mom, you might want to talk to your dad about it. Tell him what you've learned about keeping marriage pure and why you want him to be a better husband. Tell him about various resources available to Christians who are struggling with lust (such as XXXchurch.com). Offer to be his accountability partner if that seems appropriate. Tell him he just can't keep on watching porn if he wants to be a faithful husband. See how he responds. Offer him love and forgiveness. He can then decide how he wants to go about confessing to your mom what he's been up to.
If he doesn't seem all that enthusiastic about making a change, though, then I'm not sure what to tell you. In that case, you may have to go to your mother about the issue. But I think you should rebuke his sin in private before you share it with others.

I would pray and send dad an e-mail to his lap top about it. I don't think I'd say anything to your mom, it's between him and Christ. It is not an affair but it is idolatry and spiritual adultery towards Christ. Whether porn or just vain imaginations, it effects his walk with Christ.
