		<description>Only if people subscribe to, and pay for,  the porn channel will porn be accessable in their house.  A second layer of safety is the Parental Control feature which prevents childen viewing or copying porn.

Parents should also not leave Bibles lying around the house for children to read or they will be exposed to such filth as : Ezekiel 23:20-21 &quot;There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.&quot;</description>

		<description>Kent if you follow the argument the fact I&#039;m trying to highlight is that if there is to be a household where parents are not maried and thereafter split chances are it would be an atheist household. It would be a small percentage - so I&#039;m willing to concede te point. No Christian should think they are perfect in any case, apart from that nobody can truly measure whether someone is a true Christian or not.

That might be; the point is there is proof of the evils of porn but people are too worried about themselves to care about checking who might get harmed.  I don&#039;t have to do the leg work here if you took 30 seconds on google you can decide for yourself. Answer me this question what do we stand to gain by porn versus what damage it could be doing (please do take a few minutes to contemplate and check on google what damage it could be doing)</description>

		<description>Your statement that &quot;a broken home... will mostly happen in atheist households&quot; is contradictory to the study Jacques has referred to, and you make the claim without any supporting evidence.

Hughes&lt;/a&gt; was, and you should find that she is not a reputable academic source of any kind, and her writing simply reflects her uneducated opinion.</description>

		<description>Important article, but not, it seems, published in an important enough place (unless I&#039;m mistaken).

It&#039;s also a worry to me that the NILC will not only be plucking a ready-made morality off of one or more shelves, and thus shelving all discussion, but also that the Ray McCauleys of the world are almost certainly ill-equipped to understand the Biblical morality that they claim to be representing. So, even if Biblical morality is wise (as I still maintain), it is only so when properly understood. Whatever gets aired over at the NILC is likely to be ham-fisted traditionalism of the kind that happily pastes favourite selections of the Old Testament onto modern South Africa without any further analysis.</description>

		<description>&quot;And why is god allowing that horrendous situation to continue?&quot;

I always say, you have 4 kinds of people on earth: Those who blame God, those who blame the devil, those who blame apartheid, and those who take ownership.
Among those that take ownership and say &quot;forgive me Lord&quot;,  you will find people who fight for the eradication of porn and child abuse etc.  And what you perhaps don&#039;t know, they are also the ones who behind the curtains often pick up the pieces (freely gratis with God&#039;s help) of those whose lives have been &quot;destroyed&quot; by among others, porn, abortion, abuse, alcoholism etc.  You won&#039;t read about this in the newspapers.</description>
