Oh, Christians are sinning with their eyes.
Quote:Shock Study: 62% of Christians Think It’s OK to Watch Porn
A new study from Barna Group and Pure Desire Ministries reported that 62% of Christians now believe someone can regularly watch porn and still lead a sexually healthy life. This evolving perspective coincides with a notable rise in porn consumption among religious communities—more than half of practicing Christians (54%) admit to occasional use, while back in 2016 only 13% of practicing Christians admitted to watching.
The study highlights a gender shift as well, with 44% of women reporting they regularly view porn, a significant increase from 2016 which reported only 12% of women regularly viewed it.
However, despite this shift in attitudes and behaviors, the church has largely remained silent, leaving many Christians to struggle without guidance. Only 10% of Christians reported that their church offers any programs to help. The majority of porn users (84%) say they have no one helping them avoid it, and nearly half say no one knows about their use.
“The changing landscape requires the Church to step in and respond,” Kinnaman said. “For both porn users and betrayed spouses, we want to see the Church come alongside those struggling and provide hope to those looking for freedom from porn.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
