Yes, but isn’t it logistically impossible to eradicate porn from the internet?
What solutions do these anti-pornography people propose?
Let’s make porn illegal, then, and wait.
Anybody remember Prohibition? Wasn’t that fun, what with the speakeasies and the gangsters and the mobsters and the tommy guns…
Why is my sensuality of concern to these fuckers?

You know, I really think that fundies problems with porn are a matter of temptation. They WANT it, but they aren’t supposed to have it. Therefore these unreasonable and retarded efforts to get rid of it. It’s a lot easier to avoid temptation if it’s not out there. BJ, in his desperate attempt to link pedophilia and internet porn, seems to be following the mold.

How could anyone take a guy named “BJ” seriously when he rants about pornography is beyond me.

If he’s truly worried about “sexually deviant images” in peoples heads he’d stop children reading the bible. but that’s lip smackingly good christian porn.

lizard, he probably would offer advice, but he’s in his happy place right now. after all, if porn makes us nihilistic, paedophilic serial murderers, you gotta wonder what kind of masochism it must therefore take to get you to be nice.

My goodness, BJ is a retard! For fuck’s sake, according to his logic I ought to be out at least weekly scouring the interwebs and dark back alleys for children to molest. I’m trying, but I can’t seem to muster the necessary sexual urge here. I wonder if BJ has any pointers for me? He seems so sure and all…

This post does a good job of shining light on the typical fundamentalist mindset. They have to believe that God exists, and that God possesses certain characteristics, such as omnipotence, omniscience, and above all, a love for everyone. Never mind that such qualities are mutually exclusive to one another, and that the barest exercise of reason is sufficient to show this. The house of cards that they’ve built up to believe in will come crashing down the minute annoying, inconvenient facts destroy the illusion.

Which, of course, explains why whenever somebody does something that the religious loonies disapprove of, they think that the offender sat down and consciously weighed the merits of committing such an act. They imagine that one who is gay made a conscious decision to like members of the same gender. I wonder when BJ decided to become a heterosexual. They cannot possibly consider that the loving, all-knowing deity they believe in would allow someone to be born gay, or, as you have pointed out, with serious mental abnormalities that lead to this kind of tragic behavior. It undercuts the entire nature of the being they think is up there watching over us. This is, really, a variation of the problem of evil, which is perhaps one of the most damning arguments against God’s existence.

If evil exists (murder, disease, famine, Jon Tesh) and God is omnipotent, then he passively permits evil and is not all-loving. If evil exists and God can do nothing about it, then God is not omnipotent. And clearly, evil must exist, otherwise what would be the whole point of Christianity? What’s a poor fundie to do? Aha! blame the evil on us. It’s the porn sites and the people who choose to visit them that are to blame. Of course, the gays and lesbians are at fault too. (These fundies are so sexually repressed they can’t even appreciate the beauty of two hot women “getting to know each other better”)

I’m not trying to excuse bad behavior. Far too many people have done vile, unforgivable things to others, and the responsibility is theirs alone. But looking for the reasons why people do these things is imperative. Neuroscience, biology, and evolution, among other disciplines, can take us far toward a greater understanding of right and wrong. This requires thinking, and unfortunately, fundies are not capable of this, which explains why they never make any sense. Invoking God only serves to show how dim-witted these people really are.

It more powerfully communicates that BJ is a retard.

amen.

more to the political point, i can’t communicate how fucking sick i am of being told that porn will make us all into perverted child-killing wastes of meat. there is no statistical correlation, other than the one hypothesised and (oddly) never actually studied by various religious groups, between sexual crime rates and the permissibility / availability of pornography in a country.

in reality, it’s more likely to function as a release for sexual desires that go unfulfilled than to build them up to the point where some fucker kills and rapes a child; as it’s been pointed out, you don’t buy porn to make you horny, you buy it because you already are, regardless of whether you’re a paedophile or not.

so why ban it? well, my friends, it’s obvious when you consider the fundie context: we’ve never allowed nudie pictures, because they’re JUST INHERENTLY BAD. why are they bad? because they facilitate pleasure… and we can’t have that. ban pornography! it… uh, it creates paedophiles! post hoc, ergo propter fucking hoc!

i don’t think i’ll ever understand this Judeo-Christian obsession with cutting all the fun out of our lives.
