Preacher: "We're going to kick the devil out of porn'

[cynatnite]

MAUMEE -- Some Christian churches say pornography has become more and more accessible, leading to more problems with addiction and crime. So Sunday, churches around the country said enough is enough, and participated in National Porn Sunday to address the internal pains of porn millions of Americans face each and every day.

"Quite frankly it's talked about everywhere but church often," said church goer Katie Fisher. She joined thousands of Christians in our area and millions nationwide in National Porn Sunday.

"We're going to kick the devil out of it," said Pastor Tony Scott of the Cathedral of Praise in Maumee. During services, he told his congregation there's too much porn saturating our culture. "We're trying to send a message that sexual purity is important for the man and for the woman...for the family...for America. ... this society needs a revival," said Scott.

1. boy, I bet "sexual purity" is a barrel of fun

2. That's Funny - I Suspect That Most Americans Are Sexually

Repressed.

3. Don't they have anything else to do?

With all the craziness going on in the world, they're worried about stopping people from renting XXX tapes. Organize to help the people in Pakistan, or organize to weed out racism and homophobia in churches, or ... what am I thinking? These are fundies.

4. What is this, the f*cking Middle Ages?

Go sexually purify your own damn self, you freak! What is WRONG with this guy's priorities?

Preach the war on porn but let the torturers at Abu Ghraib run free.
Preach abstinence so that adolescent idiots will get married just to get laid.

Don't like porn? Don't WATCH it! Don't like your kids watching porn? Try some parenting, for a change!

rant off...

[Atman]

5. Woo hoo! Holy porn! Or is that HOLEY porn?

I'm so confused. And what is the "crime" angle? Are people breaking into homes to steal copies of Dirty Debutantes 27? There's not enough free porn online? Blessed are the piece makers.

16. Does that mean we'll only have naked nuns?

What about "defrocked" priests?

I read from my collection of Penthouse Letters in the morning, and in
the afternoon I watched selections from Erotic Wrestling II and Prague Buddies II and III.

Hope you had a good "Porn Sunday" too!

10. I forgot about porn sunday...

All my porno tapes sat in a box in the basement unwatched :(

I guess I could make up for it tonight by sneaking down there when the kids are asleep :smoke:

7. People must be really trying to get access to xxxchurch.com

Site not responding. :-(

8. There is no such thing as bad publicity.

This will make porn sales skyrocket.

9. Thanks, preacher.

That's what we need. More devils in our porn.
I knew it was missing something. What a great idea!

11. Where's that list of republican hypocrites when you need it?

And it's a little thing called PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. :eyes: Learn it! And if you have a kid who has a computer you can get AOL that has parental guidance on it and monitor what your kid watches. Even though my brother and I are both legal adults we still live the computer in the family living room.

12. Yeeeeah. Good luck with that fight. nt

13. Because controlling what the neighbors read and watch

in the privacy of their own homes is a fascist's business.

One of these uber anti-porn types is running for our local city council.

Blarg.

14. If it was "we're going to kick the devil out of CHILD porn,"

I'd be behind them one hundred percent. It just seems so damned rediculous in this day and age to focus on this when there are such problems as homelessness to deal with. On another note, how do they make the connection between pornography access and crime (I suppose it would be specific types of crime)?

15. Could you kick him out of the WHITE HOUSE TOO. nm

17. The Internet Is for Porn!

The musical "Avenue Q" has a great song called "The Internet is for Porn".
