Porn may be the worst of the many influences that contribute to the destruction of "trust relationships".

• You well know that, honest to goodness "trust" is critical to the well-being and effectiveness of any human social system and of any fruitful human relationships. Destroy trust and destroy the society / relationships. While porn is not the ONLY corrupter of trust, the power to destroy found in porn cannot be overstated.

• You may NOT know that "trust" is fundamental to the meaning of God's Two Greatest Commandments (and they also are "promises")...

• • 'You shall love [and trust] the Lord your God with all your heart soul, mind and strength' and, 'You shall love [and trust] your neighbor as you love [and trust] yourself'. These 'commandments'/'promises' reveal God's intentions for some very ROCK SOLID relationships. The commandments become 'promises' in right relationship with our beloved Father God and in right relationship with our neighbors.
• • We also are to be trustworthy to God and we are to be trustworthy to each other.
• • We are to invest our love and trust, primarily in our Lord God and then also in each other (NOT investing in power or wealth or control except as tools for the betterment & safety of us all). Of COURSE, we must protect ourselves and our loved ones but we seek out those whom we can trust and who's trust we value.

• Porn isolates us. Porn is a lie. The strangers we see in porn are NOT people in whom we can emotionally invest. The strangers we see in porn are NOT people who are emotionally invested in each other. The strangers we see in porn are NOT people who are emotionally invested in us, nor in the well-being of our communities, nor in the well-being of our loved ones. The strangers we see in porn are performers trying to make a fast buck. The strangers we see in porn are just cogs in an industry built to take our time and wealth, built to frustrate us, built to deceive us and built to keep us coming back - begging - for more.

• Consuming porn is a way of saying to ourselves, "In this, I am accountable to no one else. This porn-habit is MINE and I'm not looking out for anyone but ME, ME ME-ME-ME-ME, MEEEEEE!!"

• Consuming porn can lead to dual-mindedness. Such is a very DANGEROUS dissolution of the integration between mind, body and spirit that MUST be present for a person to be whole.

• Investing our money and time into porn is the same as saying "I don't value human relationships and I want to isolate myself from those who could and would invest in me." We're saying, "I can't be trusted and I do not value human trust..."
