You can see porn anywhere on the internet. Its everywhere. Am I the only one who laughs when the porn actress/actor is wearing a cross or has a tattoo of one?
As for the music there is a great variety. My preference is epic classical. There is an awful lot of rock music and my bets most theists like it too.

Or maybe seems most human beings like music and this website being a location where people communicate music is inevitably going to come up at some point.
You're chatting some tin foil hat level crazy dude.

I do nothing other than show up here from time to time.

The mocking is just because its hilarious. When you say something silly people will laugh and poke fun. There isn't much point in taking something ridiculous all that seriously.
