I assume you mean to ask: "Why are you on a porn message board that talks about porn?"
Well, I guess Will believes it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
Do you think porn is evil?
This board does promote all these things you mentioned, but it also has some good sites. If you look around a bit you will see there are celebrity sites, sportswoman sites, there are forums where funny pictures are shown, there is a games section, stuff like that. Petra and her crew have done a phenomenal job over the many decades that she has been working here. The many, many decades.
Just kidding! If you say porn is evil, then you agree that there is good and there is evil. Which to choose?
If porn is evil, what are you doing here?
Here is a question for you. Why do people who love porn always haul out "Judge not lest ye be judged" when confronted about it? If it is evil, then why do people go for it? At what point does the evil stop? Is war alright simply because people say so? I mean, maybe the Saddam Hussein's of this world were right, and we were wrong. Who are we to judge, right? You can't judge one and not the other.
By the way, Jesus did tell the disciples they can judge. (John 7:24).
I understand people may want to indulge their sexual proclivities* without humiliation, but maybe there is a right and a wrong. If one points the wrong out, one is 'judging'. If you say, 'cool', you are accepted by the masses.
Then the dissidents are the religio-fanatic hardcore nutjobs who are full of hate and lack all type of reason.
One would certainly have a materialistic, human centric, temporal view of life. This, then, would exclude any sort of spiritual understanding. It would pertain to a purely physical reality. There is no spirit. Of course, such people usually pontificate "God helps those who helps themselves", and "Oh, I thank god every day", or, 'Judge not lest ye be judged'.
They either give some mental acknowledgment to a deity, which last all of one second, or want to throw the Christianity back in the faces of any who would contradict them on religious grounds, simply telling them to live by their own rules.
Funny enough, such people always find Hinduism, Buddhism or even Islam an option. So much for man being only a body. I have no idea why they think Christianity advocates the meanie approach. I certainly have hardly ever encountered anything but love and acceptance from mainstream Christians.
Did you know Supreme Master Ching Hai advocates absolutely no porn?
Just thought I would mention.
You know what? Fair enough, TT. I have been reading your posts over the past month. I must say you have shown remarkable restraint. A lot of what you put down is interesting. You have done some research.
I for one, don't know much, I never did. I was always the one at school who listened to everyone else. They would talk about the price of peanut butter in Japan, for example. The proliferation of ants under the third stone on the left under a tree in some swamp in Florida. That sort of thing. I don't know how folk do the find it here thing to hotlink. No clue. Some day when I have time I will find out. If I remember.
What I do know, though, is what comes from the heart.
This is the part where I get mighty peeved. When one talks of what one knows, oneself and countless others. When one perceives a reality beyond this one, then tries to cast these pearls before the, shall we say, to put it delicately, people, of this board, only to get them trampled upon, then to have these same folk turn around and tear into one, even some having the bravado to be so sure there is no God that they feel free to curse Him to His Face, then, dear TT, one wants to simply sit back and cry.
If one can talk about things sanely without the usual repartee, sarcasm and stubborn refusal to open one's minds, at all, then, maybe, one can have a point to start from.
If one were to do a spot of research, believe just a little, like, mustard seed little, it would be a point to start from. One needs to begin somewhere. It is not the final destination that is so important, as the journey that is interesting and the things one learns along the way.
Christianity is a learning process. The Zulu have a word, "siyafunda", we are learning. One needs to start somewhere, though, right? All the answers do not come all at once.
* I like the "sexual proclivities". I don't know whether you saw the film "Intolerable Cruelty" with George Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones? It is from the court scene.
