is porn against God?

[Member2019]

Who cares? People ...

Who cares

People looking for spiritual enlightenment, a better way of life, etc...

I found that porn is very much not against my God, as long as it is in moderation and does not go against what I already have in my life. As long as it remains a healthy, realistic lust that does not change how I treat others, it works.

Which is why I am so against the attitudes on this board sometimes, although I do find others who agree with me.

Re: People try to make porn complex ...

People try to make porn complex. It's really simple.

If it keeps you from living a normal life, it's harmful.
If those you value do not want you doing it, it's harmful.
If it changes how you view men and women, it's harmful.

The problem has never been porn.
The problem has always been people.

QFT.

Indeed. That does dispense with a lot of this "moralistic" bullshit, doesn't it?

I can't vote as I don't believe in god. But if you do believe in god and you think porn is against god, then maybe you shouldn't be on this forum!

Indeed. I don't think people realize the purpose of the spiritual pursuit is. Sometimes I think they are afraid to consider many things.

I found the sexual experience, including the visual delight, is quite compatible with my spiritual search. This includes the deep relationship my wife and I have, as well as the sharing we have that leads to the perfect, sexual relationship too.

What God do you refer to?
I don't think there's an exact number of religions among our socalled intelligent species - it's a fact that religion exists and it can be found in some people's minds. All religions claim to know the truth but there's a lack of religions and "Gods" that include them all - is that a paradox?!
Of course there are "Gods" against porn and almost as a reaction to that there are "Gods" that have no problem with porn and since no "Gods" have spoken directly to a whole people it's totally in the hands of those who interpret the relics, the holy scriptures of their religion. Nature has given mankind the ability of reasoning and an almost absurd need to reach conclusions but nature has not given us the ability to understand everything - what we don't comprehend, we invent stories for and explanations for - it's our burden and may result in our doooooom.

There is a huge difference between "knowing" the truth and "seeking" the truth.

well, what I refer to as "knowing" is an understanding of what "God" is, insofar that others are said to be wrong: because we 'know' what "God" we speaketh of and therefore you [the rest of the world believers] must be wrong"

pretty obvious that most people voted no porn is not against GOD but this is a very interesting topic

You don't have to be an atheist ...

You can be quite spiritual, and still see the errors of the allegedly "righteous" who have these alleged better "absolute morals." I'm not an atheist, I'm a realist and a man who sees sin in much different ways than the allegedly absolute and unquestionable application.

Whether God exists or not is not the point. The concept that God is the search for truth and a better way of life can be quite spiritual, while compatible with pornography at the same time. Too many people question if God exists or question God Him/Herself based on what man has said about God. Have you ever just questioned just what is God? What brings one closer to God?

Virtually every religious and spiritual book lays out the same things, what is harmful for you if you cannot handle it, what adds complexities in your life if you cannot be responsible, etc... I wish people would look at what they cannot be responsible with and then avoid it like sin, instead of doing it and then blaming everyone but themselves for not being able to handle it or deal with the responsibility that comes with it.

I propose that a good hard fuckin orgasm is more real than god ever can be!

 

[Member2019]

Depends ...

It depends on how you view it. Unfortunately, too many people can't see the pure delight, and feel they must take issues with it. If you don't, then it is basically God.

As an athiest, this thread is offensive. I can actually see, touch, meet, etcetera women. "god" is a figment of your imagination which you can't prove exists and, quite the contrary, science points to him, logically, NOT existing.

Seems like if we were supposed to believe in him, he should've believed in us, no? I'm not going to live my life different because some mother-fucker wrote a book hundreds of years ago.

 

[freeryan]

based on stuck up religions, porn's a sin. based on personal morality, it depends on what you're puting porn infront of. the act of porn can be either lust or beauty. it depends on what you like about it. if you'd put porn ahead of family friends and even you own morals than it becomes a sin. if you think like I do, porn is a form of art and is beautiful. anything can be a sin against God, it's just up to you if weither you believe it's a sin and still do it or not.

 

[freeryan]

p.s. I do believe in a God. but mankind's(religion) stuck up rules do not define my God. I believe that God looks over us but not everybody is worthy of his blessings. I just take all positive messages if any in each religion that I can relate to and move on from there. I think religion is a money maker and humans have forgoten that they have a mind of their own and just because a religion preaches one thing and does another (catholic Church), doesn't give you an excuse to be evil and not give thinks to something for all you have.

That's man talking, not God.

I'd like to see why athiest do not believe in GOD?

Well, strictly speaking, I'm an agnostic, but I suppose the answer is more or less the same; because there's no reason to. Why don't you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster or the Invisible Pink Unicorn (I'm assuming, for the sake of argument, that you don't)? They have just as much proof for their existence as any of the traditional deities. "Why not" is a pretty bad reason to believe in something.
