Why are they even in war against porn?
/j lust is just the second layer, try doing something about worse stuff like greed or gluttony
Because christians think they can make the rules for the rest of us. And they use scare tactics like, "protect the children", which they are molesting. Plus, they don't want anybody to be happy and have any fun. That's the point of christianity, to make everyone miserable, FOREVER.
That's how I try to describe growing up with it when people ask why I don't to to church or subscribe to any religion.
Aside from the many other aspects of it, even as a child, I couldn't understand why I was supposed to be so enthusiastically smug that I belonged to this thing that seemed to exist only to impose rules on everything imaginable and that those rules would invariably be against anything even remotely fun or pleasurable. Hell we couldn't even use most spices; thanks Dr Kellogg.
At age six or so I legitimately perceived it to be sinful to smile or laugh for fear I'd be punished because there would be some arbitrary rule that whatever caused me to smile or laugh was too worldly.
Fuck that. I'll be miserable and curmudgeonly on my own terms!
It's nice to be free of all of that. No one should be allowed to join a religion until they are 21.
FUCK RELIGION
Amen
Religious extremists that work tirelessly to impose their god's laws on everybody else.
They've actually embedded themselves in US government now, over many years and much effort, and the burning embers of their religious war against the rest of us are finally starting to catch fire in a big way.
They recently took away a person's right to an abortion. Madness, I know. What will they take away next?
You can't adopt kids in Tennessee unless you're Christian. They will deny you for being Jewish.
I wish I was joking, but this is the Christian Nationalist endgame: Nazism.
Because cops like to check ID, and this allows them to check ID more often. I think they want to check my ID at every website, if they could.
First time that I heard that, and I really don't think it's a real war. Maybe a tiny quarrel :)
Well, they're the ones that know which pizza shops have pedophile sex dungeons hidden underneath. So, I guess they're fighting themselves. (As I typed that out, it occurred to me how true is a statement it was...😝)
Because they want to use antiporn laws to restrict books and other media with LGBTQ content.
They tried and failed to control Internet porn in the 90s. With Trump, conservatives think they're more popular than they are, so they're trying this shit again. As with lots of things in Project 2025, they're quickly discovering that they're not as well liked as they think.
A year ago, the majority of Lemmy was vehemently in support of banning porn
