Pornography is sin!
The Bible is not vague on the issue of pornography. The Word of God clearly condemns ALL forms of adultery. Pornography (whether it be hard porn or soft porn) leads men into adultery.

There is no greater evil in America than that of pornography! Pornography is a road to hell.

Pornography turns people away from God and His Holy Word. Most people automatically associate the word "pornography" with total nudity; however, the evil influences of "soft porn" (partial nudity) are equally damaging. Whereas women are aroused by TOUCH, men are aroused by SIGHT. Of course, this is no secret. I won't spend a lot of time in this article trying to explain all the things wrong about pornography because it is self-evident.

The Bible may not be vague, but the human interpretation of the Bible is diverse at best. I studied the Bible in Greek as a child (it's original language) and what I learned is that there are many passages that did not translate easily in English.

I think it is your own belief/interpretation that Pornography leads men into adultery. It might for some men lead them away from adultery if they satisfy their sexual urges this way rather than with another woman if they have these urges more frequently than their spouse.

What I have personal trouble with is that I would think that many of the people working in this industry are there because they needed to support themselves at a young age and were lured in out of desperation. I know there are some self-professed 'stars' that love their job but it's the others that I find disturbing. I think for many of them it leads to substance abuse/addiction just to get them through it. I'm sure those viewing it would like to think they are only watching the ones who want to be there, but I just can't believe that's the case for many.

Motherof3inNC,

I completely disagree with your post. Swedish makes a far better argument and I can agree with her point and the self esteem of the young women.

But no one is going to hell.
