Church is the porn industry's best friend (country, house, American)

If the government is behind all the ideals the christians are preaching why is abortion legal? Why has Massachusetts been allowed to legalize same-sex marriage? And several other states have also created a legal union (though not marriage which is bullshit) between same-sex couples. If the government is the driving force behind christian homophobia and they're very right-wing agendas why is all this being allowed? Your "rant" isn't very logical or thought-out.

It's just plain stupid.

I just made that Jerry Falwell comment to point out how big of an impact the big religious leaders of the day can have on regular Christians. The *** argument doesn't have anything to do with the point I was making.
Remember, the government can use religious leaders to drive home points that can help their agendas. How would being anti-*** help their agenda? Well, other than less procreation, it wouldn't really. So, I'm sure the evagnelists have some thoughts of their own, but if an agent walked up to you and handed you a check for a million dollars wouldn't you start spouting off nonsense abstinence messages, and saying people who have pre-marital sex are going to hell.

Look, you can sit here, and dispute every little thing I said in the argument, but the point is that I'm not going to compromise my beliefs for some ultra-religious, R-wing nut job like yourself............

I mean, hey wait a second..........
What is your deal? You're not pro-government or pro-organized religion. Why are you arguing?

I think I got dumber from reading this thread. By deductive reasoning Used2lguy is the government.

I'll tell you what's stupid is trying to have an argument with people who only want to find flaws in your argument, and never say, 'hey I agree with that idea',
but I hardly doubt any of you could honestly say that church does not help out the porn industry. I'm not even taking a stance against porn. I just find it interesting that if more people quit going to church, and we weren't so fanatical about religion, the porn industry would tank. It's interesting to me, sociologically. Sorry, if I made any of you think.

There is no logical argument or factual backing to anything you're saying at all.

**cardboard adolescent** · 03-29-2008, 09:01 PM

Obviously making something taboo is going to drive people towards it, that's fine. It's when you start making irrational leaps where correlation all of a sudden equals causation that people lose interest in your argument. All of the phenomena you've described have very simple explanations, and you're clearly violating Occam's razor by trying to draw larger conclusions that aren't warranted.

Yes of course you are right. How horny you get has everything to do with how often you go to church.
