" ... Utah’s anti-erotica ambitions have not waned. The tactics have just changed. In this heavily religious state, the fight against porn is increasingly being framed not as a moral crusade but as a public health crisis. Although there is significant debate on whether that is actually true, Utahns have been a very receptive audience to the message."

Ironic considering FAR greater numbers of suicides in UT are linked to Mormonism than porn. It’s TSCC that is the public health crisis, if you care about facts....

Dammit! I misread the content again; I thought it said:


" ... Utah’s anti-erotica ambitions have not *wanked*..."


Sorry, couldn't resist.*


*Which I suppose is one of the main reasons for porn!

Aren't there bigger problems in Utah and the nation besides porn!!???

Not according to the morg, there isn't.

Well here is the deal: "Utah" ( THE (MORmON) church WISHES that porn as the biggest challenge that they had to contend with !!! ....and so true to MORmON form they then pretend like it is.

But what is the scriptural basis for opposing porn?

The only thing I can think of is Jesus' supposedly having said that if you "lust" after a woman, you have committed adultery with her. But am I not safe if I don't actually want to the guy having sex with the woman in the movie?

What is the basis for banning Rodin's "the Kiss" from being displayed at BYU?

PRrudishness is the hallmark of what mKes Mormon identity Unique. No Tats, no body piercing, no facial hair except eyebrows.
Where's the scriptural reason for the beard ban?

We got trouble
Right here in Salt Lake City
With a capital 'T'
That rhymes with 'P'
That stands for PORN!

With apologies to "The Music Man"

The comical (and rather tragic) thing is when certain MORmON males get so tired and weary of (their) human sexuality being vilified by MORmONISM that they then just withdraw and do with out....... and then LDS inc has to start chiding those young men for not being willing to take the bait of MORmON approved sex as made acceptable by the stupid secret temple handshakes that MORmONISM refuses to openly acknowledge, which is really the ploy of vaunted Temple marriage which is really intended to keep them on a MOReMONey offering treadmill of LD$ inc for the rest of their married lives. ......then there are the super self entitled pathological MORmON ASSpostHOLES and would be MORmON ASSpostHOLES that fall to the other end of the spectrum toward unlimited self gratification, who do things like accusing six year olds (grand children) of not being able to resist their overwhelming sexual charm.

The effects of (foul vile corrupt) MORmONISM on people's lives is not nearly as positive as LD$ inc would have people believe.

The Faithful, as of this morning, have made little attempt to rationalize the anti-porn crusade, to defend the LDS church against the many, many shin-kicking comments attached to the article, etc. A wise decision, I think - there's no winning this public relations disaster for them.



This recently added comment caught my eye:


reader Michael Hunt:

I find it perplexing that people believe in an invisible cloud-dwelling wizard that is so very interested in what we do with our genitals, and with whom, yet also seems to be very uninterested in the tremendous amount of disease, starvation, war and abuse that goes on in this world. And as for Mormons, the irony is not lost on me that, at least in the case of their founder, Joseph Smith, those very same genital rules were ostensibly relaxed completely (he took multiple wives, some in their teens). And the same exception to those genital rules seems to happen quite often with many other religions. Curious!
