Christians Are Addicted to Porn
• Amorous Web, Cyber Sex
Porn is worse than abortion. That means killing babies is worse than masturbating?
Funnily enough a sampling of my own secular friends doesn't show nearly the same level of porn addiction as that of Christians.
``For 25 years, I would have said that the pro-life issue is the most pressing threat to America morally, but pornography has overtaken it,'' says the Rev. Richard Land, a leader in the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest U.S. Protestant denomination. ``More people's lives are being destroyed on a daily basis by addiction to pornography than through abortion.''
Douglas Weiss, a counselor with divinity and psychology degrees, speaks at churches of many denominations on sexuality issues. ``Wherever I am . . . and no matter what the denomination, at least half of the men in the church admit to being sexually addicted,'' he says. Based on his experience, ``the clergy don't differ that much from the general population -- between a third to half.''
