Without pandering too much to Luke Ford's patently twisted agenda, let's examine the whole concept of turning the other cheek, personal freedom of expression and worship and religious tolerance, shall we?

It has always been my take that Christianity as an organized religion preached understanding and forgiveness. Hey, so I was wrong. I don't know when it started, but religion these days seems to be more about personal smugness and judgment than anything else. The Good Samaritan story could never happen in the 21st Century. The majority of Christians I meet are quick to judge and condemn, and have no place in their hearts for turning the other cheek or of doing unto others as they would have done unto them. They'd rather it just didn't happen in their back yard. But my, are they eager to tell you about their beliefs!

Indeed, the entire suggestion that an unhappy porner can be "saved" by finding God is rather bogus. As well as the happy and the horny, porn attracts the damaged and scarred. If you deny that, then you're living on a flashy island with Tattoo as your servant. Girls get hooked on drugs, their relationships fail, they miss work - we've all seen it. Does this mean their soul needs to be saved? No. I don't think it does. I think it means they need to clean up their act and find a profession that suits them. Perhaps one where recreational drug abuse and the misguided belief that you work in Hollywood with all its associated glitz isn't so prevalent. I'd argue that it's the whole false notion of "showbiz" and its inherent pressures which tip some of these girls over the edge, not the products they're making.

And back to China. For any Christian outside that totalitarian regime to happily raise a hand and suggest that they were culpable in assisting a country which is credited as the world's greatest executioners (they even have traveling execution buses nowadays) is utterly sickening and, frankly, so 'unChristian' that it could be described as evil.

I hope that the author of those comments spends time reflecting on what his words actually meant, and that (irony alert) in the fullness of time, he too can experience the joys of life in a political system where freedom is a very limited commodity indeed, and religious beliefs are handed down by the State.
