Making the Transition

Al Mohler says we are in transition from being a culture that permits pornography to a culture that is pornagraphic: 

A society that embraces pornography as a constitutionally protected form of “speech” will have a hard time policing sexually explicit material.  When courts rule that filtering pornography from public computers in a public library is unconstitutional, the public library is transformed into a pornographic playground.  When employees spend company time (and government funds) viewing pornography at work, the moral character of the entire enterprise is at stake.

The real cost of pornography cannot be reduced to lost hours of labor.  The far larger issue is the cost to the nation’s soul.  When public libraries become places parents do not let their children go, something precious is lost.

The real cost of pornography is measured in broken lives, broken marriages, broken children, and broken dreams.  In reality, the true cost is spiritual, for pornography destroys the soul.
