Is your lack of commitment because you "view material which contains violence, pornography" or becayse of your "promiscuous behavior" or some other reason?

Anyone who reads the Bible is a consumer of violent and sexually promiscuous material.

True, the main characters get their kit off within the first few chapters...then there's incest, bloodshed, murder of children, stealing other men's wives (after killing the men)...

What the hell is songs of solomon about???
To much vino, me thinks!

Book of Mormon too...
Justifiable Holy-homicide?
Sounds like Old testament BS laws!
and islamic Sharia.

Just this week Doctors using science continue to research the elements that make up the known universe
and make significant breakthroughs in improving lifestyle and administering life saving medicines and life saving procedures for millions.

Whereas...
The institutions that claim to be hospitals for sinners...
Religious leaders drove hundreds of people to suicide and murder because they told them God would not love them if they loved themselves,
or that God will not only justify BUT REWARD the killing of non believers and in this day and age executed an 11 year old girl for her ungodly desire to be educated.

Wake the HELL up!

HELL-NO!
As a mammal that eats other animals and has to compete against others for survival and continue my species.
Sex and violence manipulation are all natural God given talents that all healthy humans possess and the lack of those things in modern society is made up for by a virtual substitution for the reality.

Contrary to what you may think, eating other animals is not the same as "sex and violence"....although..... now it makes sense why you are no longer allowed in McDonald's.

"Sex and violence manipulation"??? exactly what is that?...can you explain exactly what is being manipulated and what it is that is doing the manipulating?
Because it seems like schizophrenia is right around the corner.

Without sex we'd be extinct.

Without violence our world would look a whole hell of a lot different today.

I do like your snippets of humour.

If I was being as pedantic as you, I would say: killing animals is an act of violence.
I make no mention of trying to mate WITH them, although in certain farming communities it is not unheard of.

And I understand that you think, My thinking is contrary to what you might think.

Our children (as in human beings, and not to be taken as yours and mine, together as a copulating couple - Mr Sub-humorous.) are natural born Emotional Manipulators, they will pretend / lie to deceive others especially their mothers to get what they want.

So it would seem that they are not born with JUST the light of Christ but also the light of the Devil, from birth. If you believe that crap?

FACT.
(No matter how not very helpful to the cause.)

Church membership seems to be an extraneous variable. The question should have been asked regarding how often people view that material. Some folks here might take pride in only viewing such material less than once a month. Some might be young enough to view it more than once a day.
