Parade Orange Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 thats one of the reasons why he hated us so much to have thousands of americans killed cause our ladies didnt wear curtains from head to toe and there he is fantasizing to the pont of climax women wearing nothing having pillow fights ... Quote All progress in the Spiritual Life is knowing and Loving GOD"there is non upon earth that I desire besides YOU" PS 73:25That perspective changes EVERYTHING-suffering and adversity are the means that makes us hungry for GOD. Disapointments will wean us away wordly occupations. Even sin(when repented of) becomes a mechanism to push us closer to HIM as we experience His Love and Forgiveness.
LifeHiscost Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Quote: the discovery of pornography is not uncommon in such cases. Which is not surprising since almost all false religions have no defense against eating of the forbidden fruit. God blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

Moderators Bravus Posted June 25, 2011 Moderators Posted June 25, 2011 Lots of people in that compound, no real evidence that it belonged to Osama himself. And I'm pretty sure Islam actually has quite strict rules about sexual purity. Not defending Osama, Islam or porn. Defending truth-telling. Quote Truth is important

Moderators John317 Posted June 25, 2011 Moderators Posted June 25, 2011 I've also see where some of the 9/11 Muslim hijackers living in San Diego patronized strip clubs there. Yet they claimed to be angry at America for having such places. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Moderators Bravus Posted June 26, 2011 Moderators Posted June 26, 2011 ...and usage of porn is highest in the US states with the highest concentrations of evangelical Christians. Again, not having a go at Christians or defending porn. These are just very, very shallow levels of thought and attack. Quote Truth is important
bonnie Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 ...and usage of porn is highest in the US states with the highest concentrations of evangelical Christians. Again, not having a go at Christians or defending porn. These are just very, very shallow levels of thought and attack. Maybe as shallow as the same type of remarks concerning evangelical christians. This article didn't have anything to do with evangelicals. Maybe if the story were to read well known evangelical christian found with porn in his home,the comparison with Osama should be given, whether or not Osama had anything to do with the story. At least I don't think the evangelical christian viewing porn has killed thousands while using that as part of the reason. Don't recall them sawing off the heads of those they consider infidels Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this. Quotes by Susan Gottesman
Dr. Shane Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Porn has become very accepted in the US society. Many evangelical faiths teach "once-saved-always-saved" and place more emphasis on grace than the law. Many evangelicals use porn to "enhance" their sex lives and do not see a problem with it. And, many admit that if there is a problem, Jesus will forgive them anyway. Thus, many evangelical preachers that preach against porn do so knowing that their target audience is sitting in the pews. Porn being found in Osama's quarters is more comparable to porn being found in Franklin Grahams' or James Dobson's home. These are spiritual giants that have millions of followers.

Dr. Shane Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 My point is that in-the-pews' evangelicals watching porn really isn't all that hypocritical given the wide-spread acceptance of porn in the US and the easy-grace message of many evangelical churches. However it is very hypocritical of Osama given his belief that the US is the great Satan. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity

However it is very hypocritical of Osama given his belief that the US is the great Satan. Being a hypocrite was probably the least of Osama's fault. My point was I would like to see evangelical christians or conservative christians given the same amount of respect and benefit of the doubt as a mass murderer receives. It is unlikely that a man like Osama was not aware of what was going on in that compound.He did not escaper capture for so long by being oblivious.

Moderators Bravus Posted June 27, 2011 Moderators Posted June 27, 2011 I don't even want to go into it, but very briefly. If we knew that Osama bin Laden himself was using pornography, then yes, that would be hypocritical on his part. But we don't. That's the simple point I was making. I would also make the point that pornography is a looooong way down the list of reasons Osama hated America, so to talk as though it was the top reason is to somewhat miss the point. I'm not attacking anyone for... well, anything, really. I just think it's very lazy 'thinking' to claim that anyone is a hypocrite based on something *you have no evidence they even did*!

It is highly unlikely that Osama was oblivious to what went on within that compound. Porn was one of the excuses, it doesn't matter where on the list it was. Being thought of a hypocrite might rank way down the list of importance to a mass murderer. It was a good opportunity to take a shot at evangelicals,which have nothing to do with the topic not were mentioned in the article Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted July 17, 2011 Administrators Posted July 17, 2011 Fairly simple statistical analysis. Compare purchases of pornography in areas with high population density of evangelicals with areas where it is low. Also tracking visits to porn sites from computers located in the Bible Belt with other areas of the country. One can also note the number and success of live porn, i.e., strip joints and so-called "gentlemen's clubs", in the Bible Belt as compared with other areas of the country. Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth. (And finally, the ideas expressed above are solely my person views and not that of any organization with which I am associated.)

Stan Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I have seen that information before as well. The sale of porn TV goes up at Christian Conventions Hotels. That has been a discussion in Christian Bookseller Magazines that I used to get when I was a ABC manager. The reason why google was banned in China, google talked about freedom, was because the Chinese do not allow porn, it is not legal. It is viewed as something Christian Countries support.

Overaged Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Thats not sayin much for "Christian" countries...but my challenge to Tom is not because I find it hard to believe; just wonderin where the idea is coming from. Hmmm; now I am wondering what makes a country "Christian?" And who decides? Quote "People [rarely] see...the bright light which is in the clouds..."

Hmmm; now I am wondering what makes a country "Christian?" And who decides? One thing you can say for the evangelicals besides the claim they hate Christ as one topic discussed at length here. They are not blowing thousands of americans to pieces while claiming the use of porn as part of their reason for doing so. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
