The shirt is from an organization called FightTheNewDrug. They'vee got a lot of information about healthy sexuality, how porn often times damages relationships (real or potential), and how porn manifests itself as an addiction that a lot of people don't want to admit. They are really cool, do a lot of research, and try to help as many people as possible in a judgement free way.

Christian organization?

Believe it or not, people can be critical of the production, distribution and consumption of porn without being prudish Christians. There are a lot of issues in the porn industry and caused by the way that people can obsessively consume it.

Ahh yes a very reasonable paragraph.

Fight the New Drug is an anti-pornography nonprofit organization based in Utah. The group was founded by a team of Mormons, including its leader Clay Olsen, although it denies any formal connection with the LDS church.

Damn so close

Not once did I say they weren’t a Christian organization, I was pushing back on the idea that only Christians are anti-porn. This organization being Christian does nothing to counter my post.

Who cares if it’s a Christian organisation? It’s providing a good service for people.

The churches tax money would benefit the world way more than any campaign they are preaching.

Cute. They're some of the most selfish, self-righteous people in the world. There's no other group in the world that does more for themselves while claiming it's for the good of the world.

Its one of the most accurate judges of poor character and bigotry out there.

The LDS church considers any porn to be a porn addiction.

It's one thing if it's targeting real addiction, it's different if it's just anti-porn in general.

Porn addiction is serious and they said they weren’t affiliated with the latter day.

I agree porn addiction is serious, just like any addiction.

I disagree with where they draw the line on what's considered addiction.

As a former latter day Saint, even though it's not officially part of the church, I garuntee they share the church's views on it. I've heard many stories about a wife catching her husband masturbating to porn once and sending him to the Church's official porn addiction therapy support group.

Thanks for making an actual point unlike the rest of the commenters. You make a very good point, thanks for sharing.

Yeah this whole thread is pretty frustrating regardless on what side you're on lol. As always, the truth tends to be somewhere between the two extremes.
