Pornography in all it's forms, Playboy, Hentai, and even Videogame Nudity, is essentially the act of making a Graven Image of the Likeness of God. Therefore, it breaks commandments left and right.

What do you all think?

I think the world would be a better place without it all.

What about Indecent Exposure? Don't you think the world would be a better place if we never ate the apple, and everyone was still naked?

I sense contradiction...
You technically didnt answer your own question.. whats your view on it?
I however am against it myself. But if others wish to view it im not going to stop them... or say they are wrong for viewing it... its there choice, not mine, not yours... there own...

Well, it wouldnt be indecent exposure, it would be normal to not wear clothes. It was only affetre the apple thing they noticed that and felt shame for it.

I'm not a big fan of porn but I don't think that there is anything wrong with it. I mean, there are worse things out there than pornography.

Pornography, however it may seem to people of faith, is not all that bad, in fact... It can be seen as an art form.... The naked female form can be seen as art.... Sexual contact can be seen as art... As long as it is not used in a degrating way, it is perfectly fine...

DNG: sure, it -can- be.... but the line is so fine that why tread so close?

are there not enough things in this world to appreciate that we have to publically view naked people?

I think pronography is a huge waste of time and money. I can't even imaginge the untapped potentials of the people involved in pornography. There are so many other things that those people could be doing.... but instead they are paid to have sex and be filmed while doing so. Seems like a waste to me.

Gee-dizzle- Thats why I said... "As long as it is not used in a degrating way".... Which most of the time it is...

You know, porn actors think of it as an easy way to make lots of money... All they do is have sex, and get paid... Who wouldn't like that job?... Most of them are no-talent hack actors anyways... Or people with absolutely no talents/interests/motivation...

If they get paid for having sex, does that make them prositutes?

Who died and invented clothing?

Well, I suppose, but both partners get paid... Not prostitutes then.. Even after christ, for a long time men and woman were always exposed... It really wasn't until after the Middle Ages that men and women began covering themselves... But, the most appreciated artists did infact paint things that you would consider "Pornographic",but they also painted pictures of christ and churchy crud... What do ya think of that?

And what do you think of husbands and wives to photograph themselves and sell it on the interweb? Don't say it doesn't happen.

Thats still pornogrophy.. well, sorta.. it could be porn, depending on what there doing. It could jut be a family photo...

Adamn and Eve coverd themselves up right afta they got kick out of the garden. I think they got kicked out... Im not sure, i read revolation first.

The problem was they covered themselves up. They got kicked out of the garden BECAUSE they put on clothes. Clothing was mankind's first sin.

What, you think an allegorical apple was a sin? Tell me how an apple could possibly be a sin. It's an antioxidant and full of vitamins and nutrients. Show me a snake that can talk while you're at it.

The very first physical sin of humankind was covering up their naughty bits.

Genisis 3
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"

10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."

11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

12 The man said, "The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it."

Thats the story sorta, for yall that dont know.
I thought it was because God told them not to, but it was sorta cos santan told them to eat from it.
Way to blame it on teh chick

The apple is a metaphor for un-wed sex... Giving into temptation... The snake is the the Eve's sexual drive, telling her to "Eat the apple" or... to "seduce adam".... Or thats what I think atleast...

It makes no sense that an advanced mind-reading deity would say "Okay, don't do this", and not instantly know what our intentions were or weren't. We weren't punished instantly, so we must have UNDERSTOOD the directions.

It makes no sense that an advanced mind-reading deity would punish the wrong creature. Therefore it makes no sense that all we did was fail to follow through with some directions.

It makes no sense that this object would "open our eyes" to some "greater understanding", and because of that, to be banned from what could possibly be the one place that this "greater understanding" could be put to good use.


It makes no sense that the apple would be a metaphor for sex out of marriage, since marriage didn't exist at the time. Nowhere between Genesis 1:1 and the firey swords at the gates of Eden, did I read "Thou shalt get married before knowsting eachother." That is improper directions giving, and God better smite himself if he's going to be like that.

Eat the Adam's Apple? zOMG, Vampires!

The bible would like to claim that quite clearly, nudity is common law before you "eat the apple, wink wink, nudge nudge". But why would sex, alone, cause two grown people to begin covering themselves? This requires an 18 year long case study to see if you are correct.

Two children, raised in white, soundproof rooms, living in complete utter silence (or speaking only minimal phrases), fed only vegetables, fruits, and multivitamins by athletic people either in white flowing robes, (or completely naked themselves). One male child, one female child. At a certain age, they are introduced to one another. We watch closely, through one-way mirrors, to see if they have sex, and then if they wear clothes afterwards. If they do wear clothes afterwards, we thrust them out into the real world, with no home, no food, just the clothes on their backs.

Sounds inhumane? EDEN SOUNDS INHUMANE.

DNG, that makes alot of sence i reckon.
L, damn big post... *reads*
Lowell, thats funny. I've often wondered about using people as labrats aswell.
But you also make a good point...
Whats with zOMG?

Apple debate aside, I see nothing wrong with pornography as long as it isn't child porn. Though I will admit that I don't really watch porn videos anymore because they just... well... suck. Hentai is so much better! No crack whores in hentai!
