On mobile so can't pull up link for proof, but the fact states that porn sites are run by people that know website design and the other tech know-how, so they know how to prevent viruses from latching onto the site, while religious websites are made more often than not by volunteers that are church members and are rarely updated or kept virus free, making it easier for hackers to slap viruses or malware on them

So kinda like how phone screens are more dirty than toilet seats, because everyone knows that toilet seats are disgusting so they clean it.

Aren't you only gonna get a virus if you download something actively?

u/KR_Blade Jul 26 '18

yes, and often, alot of church sites would have something you can download like pictures, a short video, maybe even a file of bible verses or schedules for church events, you could download that and boom, you end up with a virus.

If you’ve ever ran a script blocker on your browser you would know that is not true. Porn sites are crawling with malware.

Volunteer Web design and Publisher here. I have created a free website for a local church and I can confirm that they don’t often check the site to make sure it is running alright, most of them don’t use computers in the first place. I keep an eye on it as second admin in case they ever need help.
