I take the assumption to be that Christians are somehow not able to resist porn by their own efforts?

- declan_roberts 6mo agoI think that statement describes a wide swath of non Christians as well.
- pixl97 6mo agoI don't think it's the general ability or inability to stop watching porn that is in question. It's their righteous indignation that you're going to hell if you do that, so they'll gladly set up a theocratic nanny state of nationalist Christians to protect your every thought.

- bdangubic 6mo agonot just a lot of it, most of it
- zulux 6mo agoTV watching was detrimental to my life, so rather than be tempted by it, I just threw it in the trash. In behavioral therapy it's called stimulus control.

- threwitfaraway 6mo agoYou're partially correct. Jesus is very clear about avoiding temptation. Religious people are humans just like the rest of us and want to proactively avoid sinning. However, religious people are probably more concerned than the general population that their teen boys and girls not watch content that degrades human dignity.
- swat535 6mo agoCatholic here, yes it's something we struggle with. I'm in support of anything that helps remove the temptation for us. I assume that majority of Protestants feel the same way, which is why we these initiatives garner support from all. That being said, I certainly wouldn't advocate for imposing the will of Christians on others by _force_.. that would be the opposite of what Christ teaches us.
