    To me, faith should disqualify you from any position of power, maybe even voting too,

    I’ve looked at porn before and I have uh, wandered across some crazy stuff where I’m like okay, I did not want to see this… I always wonder if these folks are being accused of finding that stuff, but if they are saving it on their computer it seems weird… I don’t really save porn on my computer anyways… unless I find something super classy or sexy maybe, but even then most likely not, and if it’s that classy it’s probably not even technically ‘porn’…… anyways, Just thinking out loud I guess….quietly

    Part of me wishes there was a legitimate way to report questionable porn that didn’t involve morality police who think all porn is inherently bad……

    But also, why does it always seem to be these guys who are extremely vocal about being anti porn and super puritanical… Jesus h Christ… literally…

    Makes me wonder about the current speaker of the house…

      Part of me wishes there was a legitimate way to report questionable porn that didn’t involve morality police who think all porn is inherently bad…… (edit: no part of me wants that job lol, just to be clear, oh god those poor workers who have to do that shit)

      I know someone that works somewhere (involved with police enforcement) and there are people that have to review content for CP as part of their job. He said they are instructed to do things like turn the screen sideways, turn down the sound, and so on so that it’s not as scarring. I think after X hours of doing such work, they have to Y hours of counseling.

      I told him there is no way in hell I have the the wiring where I could do such a job, though I’m thankful someone is able to do it. If I did have to do such a job, I’d probably have to have like 24 hours of counseling for 1 hour on the job…

      I imagine the job for private companies is just as daunting, but my guess is that it has less oversight to protect the worker from psychological damage…

    There is so much variety in pornography available in the world today, why of all things would you delve in to that genre as a conservative Christian. Why are they never like, tree fucking priests? It’s always the kids!

        Biblically accurate heaven is literally you spending every moment on your knees in prayer forever. Does that count as a monkey paw?

        I think it’s people projecting. Then they make a whole charade out of it, and it gives them free access to the most vulnerable people without safeguards. I’ll never truly understand it.

      Being Conservative and being Christian aren’t compatible ideologies. You can follow the teachings of Jesus or be conservative, you can’t do both.

        Funnily enough, an enormous amount of Americans somehow did the mental gymnastics tomdo both anyway

        You just start saying that Jesus was this blonde guy with an Arnold Schwarzenegger type body, who loved CEO’s and shit like that.

        That in turn also goes to show how dumb religions are

        This assumes that Christian means “follow the teachings of Jesús Christ”. Unfortunately Christianity has never meant that. Even less in the US since Billy Graham.

          I have no idea what you’re talking about, it’s always meant that. Anyone who doesn’t follow the teachings of Jesus but calls themselves Christian is just lying.

            I’m not sure they’re lying as long as they actually think they are christians but are just wrong about it in your eyes.

            There are definitely millions of people who “follow” the teachings (they listen when somebody feeds them a tracking) even though they don’t implement them in real life.

            Have you read on the history of evangelical Christians during the US civil war? Two different factions of Christians argued both sides, against and pro slavery. Both cited Jesus and the bible, often.

            Christianity is anything you want it to be. Proof is on the fact that there are like 45 thousand different Christian denominations, and they all have a different interpretation of Jesus, some diametrically opposite each other. Even the apostols argued with each other about how to interpret Jesus on certain topics. That’s the problem of trying to rule your life under the words and teachings of one single person.

    Conservative Christianity is the most glaring sign that someone is likely a pedophile. I’m not surprised in the slightest.

    Well, didn’t Jesus say “Let the children come to me […] for they do not know what they are doing”?
