Pornography's Related Effects

When the mass media sometimes mentions pornography, they do so in a very general sense. They do not give any particulars. They do not mention that the American culture is solidly and daily in the grip of widespread pornogrification and that the related behavior has devastated the American culture during the past several years with no end in sight. The media does not mention that 66% percent of Americans think that pornography is very morally wrong. The media fails to inform the American citizens of the related effects of the scourge of pornography.

 

What everyone needs to know to begin with is that pornography is very addictive and that the addiction begins quickly and, in far too many cases, at a very young age, and that it is not just a harmless vice. Pornography can be found in many places: all over the Internet; at magazine stands; in video stores; on regular and pay-per-view cable. Parents need to know this and be very vigilant if they have children and computers. Everyone needs to know that one-third of Americans think that pornography is not "morally wrong." That dear reader is the crux of the pornography problem.

 

Pornography is the root cause of many serious problems that develop and ruin the lives of so many people. The serious problems are many, because pornography is so easily available and all ages can view it. Juveniles were more likely to become sex offenders because they experience more damaging effects from pornog­raphy use. The link between child pornography and child molestation has been firmly established. At least 85 percent of convicted prison inmates confessed to downloading child pornography. The most common trait among serial killers was an affinity for pornography. The Archives of Sexual Behavior established that 80 percent of women watch pornography and it affects their lives: It leads to im­moral sex, cohabitation, infidelity, and prostitution. Nearly 60 percent of broken marriages were the result of a spouse looking at excessive amounts of Internet pornography. As you can see, pornography is not the harmless vice it's defenders suggest.

 

Aside from the damaging cultural effects, pornography is gravely immoral to become addicted to and even view occasionally as a pastime. It is spiritually debilitating also. It should not even be allowed to exist. Thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court it does, but what is not readily known is the fact that hard-core pornography is not covered by the Court's decision concerning free speech that is guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution. It's a mystery as to why lawyers have not acted on the pornography issue. They need to hop to it---PDQ.

The Evil Among Evils

The year 2012 was a very bad year in the American culture for a very specific reason: the proliferation of pornography. As the year progressed it became abundantly clear the pornography became increasingly influential at a fast clip in the lives of many Americans. In many lives it simply took over. In many lives it simply took over to the point that it was the ruined a great deal of lives, and all the credit goes to computerization and online access. Pornography in America has become a scourge.

 

In October of 2012 a male teacher was arrested at his high school and charged with having sex with one of his female students-in classroom after school hours. His computer was also confiscated. It was loaded with pornography.

 

A Catholic priest was arrested because he was named in a child sex abuse scandal, and substantial amount of pornography was found on his computer.

 

A recent newspaper article reported that more than 200 adults have been arrested in international investigation of child pornography. The victims shown on the computer ranged in age from 1 to 17 years of age. Several of the arrested were American citizens.

 

Children as young as 11 and 12 are known to be addicted to computer pornography. Libraries have had to restrict online activity to eliminate pornography, because people would enter and use the library to view it. Parents have become astounded, alarmed, and enraged when they discover their child is engaged in pornography after it was found on their bedroom computer. The online pornography website gets the most hits because it is so easy to bring it up online.

 

When the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that pornography is a form of free speech, they did not do the American culture any good at all. Their decision has caused a multitude of problems that did not exist before. Pornography is only the tip of the iceberg. It leads to so many other immoral and evil behaviors: rape; child sexual abuse; addiction; child exploitation; ruined lives and careers; jail and prison terms; infidelity; divorces; murders. Pornography is a great tool of Satan and his demonic entity helpers. Everyone has to be on their moral guard because pornography is so addictive and so readily available to the young and to adults. It is another prime example of where God and His influence is absent, Satan and his evil helpers are noticeably present. All night thinking people realize that God and His influence was totally and clearly absent that fateful day at the U. S. Supreme Court decades ago when pornography was decelerated a form of free speech and can not be banned. It is very addictive. It is a form pure and unadulterated evil. It is the great evil among many other evils that pornography has spawned. It is the result of the U. S. Supreme Court opening Pandora’s box to the existence of so many other evils in America’s culture.
