The way it damages your mind is that it is so far from reality that some people have been taught a very twisted sexuality that is all about domination. Younger boys treat girls not just as objects, but purely sexual ones. They do not understand mutual love and respect, but that a girl is a kind of slave, and that she likes it. No means yes.
Funny thing about sex is, it's usually between two consenting adults. Some people want to be treated as objects, especially sexual ones. You'd be surprised the amount of domination fetishes out there. It's a multifaceted world, and to say something is wrong just because you don't subscribe to it is kind of self-righteous and preachy.
If you go to porn for relationship advice, you probably haven't had any real relationships, nor will you, if you treat women as objects (that don't want to be submissive).

I have never seen any of these videos, but you're telling me that is good clean fun? Nothing happens to you for having to carry around that thought for the rest of you life? And sure, you say that prank phone calls are 'adolescent', if you're on your way to becoming adult, keep walking.
So you're passing judgement on something you haven't even seen? Spare me the sob story here. It was done by people who were paid and willing to do it. It wasn't a child rape scene, it was two chicks shitting on each other. If it's not your thing, no one's putting a gun to your head telling you to watch this shit. Just don't poo-poo the people who do find it to their fancy.
Personally, I though it was hilarious. it looked like chocoloate icecream and I was more intrigued with the consistency than disgusted at the general movie.

You will only win the hearts of people who are already atheist, but happen to have a bible around, and like porn and sticking it to the man. You won't convert or impress anyone. It is immature, and I personally would be offended at what it says about something I hold dear, not happy because it is so kewl and punk rawk of them.
I think you missed the point. I'm pretty sure it was a response to the religious proselytizers handing out bibles and damnation to the college crowd. It got attention, and I'm pretty sure it got people interested in the cause. Just as politics, you don't try to convert the established base, it's the undecideds that are the meat and potatoes. Since most atheists don't have an agenda and don't try to convert people, it's not a very promoted message.

Thank you.
Yes, thank you for growing up. Does it rain all the way up there on the pedestal that you've put yourself on? How does your belief or delusion have anything to do with how you approach a prank call situation? It just means you have a different sense of humor. Laughing at other peoples' expenses is seriously one of the joys of being human. It's not apathy for the individual, it's more of a knowledge that the same can happen to you, it just hasn't yet. Why do you think comedy is one of the strongest genres in entertainment? It's all about the little parallels we can draw from each others' lives.
Those people handing out porn don't represent me at all. How can you represent a population with no hierarchy or internal dogma, or unifying qualities for that matter? Would you say that they also represent those who don't believe in santa claus?
You're trying to take the moral high ground and you're just sounding like a pompous individual who isn't very open sexually. Excuse me if I'm wrong.
