What the fuck is it with these God-addicted Republicans? They're willing to deny all scientific reason, make laws based on stem cells having little souls, and force schools to put warning stickers on books about evolution – but suddenly, when it comes to porn, they're all about "brain chemistry" and "endogenous opoids." I mean, really: let's keep our ideology straight here, guys. If porn changes our brain chemistry, then that's obviously the way Jesus wanted it to be. End of story.

Wow, first thought is that it would kind of suck if I were addicted to God. This would mean that I did not have free choice in the matter.
Second thought, this is unfortunate that these Christian advocates first argument is for science, when they should be comfortable enoguh to simply state that they beleive pornography as an addictive substance and as one that least to an overabundance of lustful thoughts is not morally preferable.
This may come as a shock, but as a Christian I don't think it is a sin to view it. I think that it is something that is strictly adult in content, and something - like drugs - which is highly addictive. How can I say that when I can't quote you the stats on porno addiction? Well, I can in the same manner that an AA member can say - "alcohol is highly addictive" - been there, done that.
Also I think that they viewing of the acts of "sex" desensitizes many people to the amazing connection and wonderful spirituality to the act of making love. There is another side to sex that the porno industry is not intouch with. The connection - the tool for relationship building - the commitment expressed between two people. The undustry focuses on the attraction of the human body and the variety of ways it canr eact to stimulation. It speaks nothing of the Human soul.
You mention God addicted republicans. I wish that people would remember that polotics should ahve nothignt odo with spirituality. Sometimes liberals free connection of God and Republican bothers me as a conservative as much as the placement of the ten commandments bothered you as much as liberals. Youa re equally as guilty of using God as a weapon and key phrase to advance your political opinions, and the best/worst part is that you don't even realize it.
