Survey Finds Evangelicals' Addiction to Internet Porn Increasing


Wow! Today's news is full of bad news for the Christianists who love to bash members of the LGBT community. Here's the results of a survey conducted by a Christian organization:

Bill Cooper, president of ChristiaNet.com, says there is an escalation in Internet pornography addiction among evangelicals. The survey found that 50 percent of men who regularly attend church are addicted to pornography, and 20 percent of female churchgoers are also addicted. The Internet has made it easier for people to get trapped in pornography's grip, Cooper explains.

"People ... in their homes, with no one supposedly even knowing it, [now] are out there dabbling in these kinds of things," he says. "I think as parents, as church leaders, we need to put precautions out there." Cooper has a couple of suggestions -- computers should be placed in open areas, and filtering software should be installed on the systems.

The survey also found that 40 percent of women admitted to being involved in sexual sin in the past year. In addition, 60 percent of women who answered the survey admitted to having significant struggles with lust. Cooper admits he found those results surprising.

No doubt we gays and lesbians will be blamed for this phenomenon. After all, according to the fundies, we caused 9-11.
