I'd call that the collection of interest on future debt - or- conversely "extending credit"...lol

Which cult has he joined? 
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Is living in a very religious boring place a good reason to being asocial?

Boring is good. Among other things, they are not trying to kill you.

Both my parents used to take me and my brother to church when we were kids. I stopped going when I was very young. My dad told me the other day when I was in my early teens I said that the bible was created by man and they just use god to help enforce the morals. My dad stopped going around the same time I decided I wanted to stop going I think. My mom still goes to sing (I don't really keep track of how often). As for my brother, I have no fucking idea where he gets this stuff from. I didn't even know he was religious until a couple days ago. I don't know what he does on a Sunday or if he even goes to church. It's very bizarre.

I don't know. Maybe protestant, because that's where our parents took us when we were kids.

I told asked him what the science behind this is and he said "what does science have to do with anything." He thinks that sex is a moral decision. I think you need to be very careful about what you claim when it comes to the sex industry.
Pink Cross Foundation claims that the life expectancy for porn performers is 36.2 years.
Then you have seasoned porn performers who defend the industry at every opportunity who come out and say this:
- It was late in my career and I was already famous with hundreds of movies under my belt, but nothing like this. I’d shied away from the BDSM culture. It scared me. Despite signing paperwork and a checklist of dos and don'ts, I was in way over my head. What I thought I was agreeing to felt a lot different in reality. I was groped by hands I didn't know. There were masked people everywhere, but only the ones wearing wristbands were my approved scene partners. If I balked at an act or found it difficult to perform, I was “punished” for my defiance (which is the nature of a BDSM scene). It felt more like a party for the extras than a professional scene. Experienced as I was, it was new to me. I’d never used a safe word before (and forgot to), so when things became too much to bear and I began protesting, no one listened. The word “No” doesn't work in these types of scenes.
I met my breaking point in this particular scene—halfway through, I had to be untied and calmed down. I was shaking. I felt a catch in my throat when I tried to speak and I could barely keep the tears at bay. I felt like I’d been beat. Yet I was hugged, inundated with compliments, and told how strong I was for being on the receiving end. I was caned, electrically prodded, and slapped around. I didn't feel powerful. In the interim, I had to decide whether I was going to quit or be a professional and finish the scene. After everything I'd gone through, leaving would have made it worthless. So I stayed.
...
While there are plenty of porn stars who regularly work for Kink and sing their praises, those that have had a negative experience are hesitant to speak up, fearing what it would do to their workload. Kink is one of the few large companies with the budget to offer steady work. Some people in the porn industry, it seems, would rather have work they don't like than no work at all.
Also, you may have heard of Alyssa Funke - a straight A student. At 19 years old she killed herself following cyber-bullying:

Also, like most women in porn she came from a troubled household.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
