If you knew that a "man of God" was looking at pornography, what would you do?

It would DEPEND on the type of porn as I said in qual. If it was child porn, then I would report ANYONE who looked at it, but the rest is his business.

I wouldn't say anything to him or to the church, but I would tell all my friends and we'd all have a good laugh about it.

I wouldn't care.

No such thing as a "man of God" I think. He's just a man, no different than anyone else, just someone who majored in religion instead of engineering. You cannot erase human desire. When I was in college I worked summers with a soon-to-be priest in seminary school. Wildest, foul-mouthed kid I ever knew.

Back to the question. I'd ask him if I could check it out, especially if he were looking at teenage girls.

I would giggle.

I would touch myself and imagine him doing the same.

Nothing. I'm a man of god and I look at pornography once in a blue moon. The average person watching a frequent diet of typical R movies probably see's a lot more than I do. Even holy people should have a decent sex life. If a priest gets the notion that they shouldn't think of women, after a few years they're bound to start thinking of much more distorted stuff. To some extent, sexual energy can be converted into spiritual energy, and one builds up a force-field of chi or shakti which is quickly polluted with sexual thoughts (it changes from a feeling of gold-magnetism to a feeling of squishiness or pins & needles), but I doubt most priests are into their own faith that heavy.
I guess it depends on your idea of pornography too. Billboards and tv ads for Fredericks or Victorias Secret count as pornography in my mind. When I find myself thinking about sex for more than 15-20 minutes a day, it's definitely time to cut back. Right now I'm in the midst of one of those cutbacks.

It's none of my business. Then again, if it were something like child pornography I would feel differently, man of the cloth or not.

What, touching you?
Ya mean like picking his nose, or something involving gymnastic gear bolted to the ceiling while listening to the vatican rag?

I wouldn't do anything.

I'd laugh and think to myself "it figures" or "hypocrite" or "how ironic!".

I'm going to answer the question that this should've been.

If you knew that a "man of God" was looking at gay pornography, what would you do?

Answer: nothing whatsoever.

I'd mind my own business.

hhhmm, i believe we are all "men or people of god" so i do know people of god who look at pornography................... and it's their prerogative.

I wouldn't do anything. It's not my business, and I wouldn't be surprised at all. I have other things to worry about and this would be wayyyy down on my list, like nada.

I'd love it

Go for it sunshine!!!

I would do nothing other than chuckle mischeviously to myself.

Oh come on - you expect them to be celibate and not even look at porn! Thats a tad mean!

Nothing. If he's beating off at least he's not screing the choirboys.

I'd ask him if he had more.

I would report it to the appropriate church (though they probablly wouldnt believe me) and (for my own benifit) take it as a green light to do the same and pretty much anything that I want to. I would call him out as a hypocryt and bring it up anything he critizes me for my lifestyle.

I'm trying to imagine a variety of situations where I would encounter this. I picture myself browsing in an adult bookstore and seeing a priest in full regalia piling up a stack of mags with titles like "Fresh Meat" and "Backdoor Boys". Or perhaps I find myself walking into the vicar's office and he tries to furtively conceal a copy of "Spank-Fest".

I would probably do nothing at the time, but laugh about it later and tell the story to others.

or that hot new video - nun till noon.

I wouldn't do anything, wouldn't care..just would probably laugh about it with my friends...(Being that we're all such a religious bunch)

I wouldn't care. As long as he's not harming others, it doesn't matter at all. The same goes for political figures. One's private life is just that, private.

God does not put sin on a scale, sinning doesn't make us sinners, we sin because we are sinners.

At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

one by one they all walked away

That's one of my fave's of his. It also works in conjunction with 'as you reap, so shall you sow'. Put them together and the responsible position is 'the buck stops here' , no forwarding trespasses and accusations into eternity, as in vengeance.

I wouldn't care.

Rod and I used to go to thrift stores and sell our purchases on ebay. One good day at the thrift store, the man behind the counter showed Rod a HUGE stack of old Playboys and Hustlers. We made some good money on those antiques! The man told him that a preacher brought them in, that someone in his congregation had been 'saved' and had given them to him. The thing that I found odd was that the preacher didn't just throw them away.. why would he want other people looking at them?

They could have been his.

That's what I suspected also.. he should have sold them. The good old ones went for some big money. I kept some of the 70s Hustlers for myself. Even the ads are funny.. I have the ones from when Larry was shot too, updates on his health, letters from celebrities wishing him well, etc.

No different to the 88% of unmarried Christians that have sex before marriage.
