Would you rather watch a Porno, ..... or Go to Church?

[TWiley]

Poll question: Would you rather watch a Porno, ..... or Go to Church?

[rooboy]

1. Funnily enough, I utter the word 'God' more when I watch porno's n/t

[TWiley]

2. LMAO !

[flygal]

9. Bwaaa

:P

[southernleftylady]

11. LOL ok that was too funny nt

[mopaul]

16. yes, god gets mentioned quite a bit, as in 'oh god'

it's a standard of the industry.

[malmapus]

26. LOL!!!

:rofl: yeah I can say the same

[luvLLB]

35. LOL...best one today....my office mates think I'm crazy for laughing.

[Tsiyu]

3. kick

[TWiley]

4. It is intresting that

"God" and "Sexuality" appear mutually exclusive at this point.

[Tsiyu]

22. Only if "porn" represents all sexuality

I agree with statement #3 - God and sexuality are not incompatible, but I don't go to church and I don't watch porn, so I had to pick option #4.

Please remember, many people enjoy sex without porn. Not that if you need it I give a shit. I just have trouble with equating porn to the entire gamut of sexual experience. You don't need the one to enjoy the other, is all I'm saying.

[TWiley]

29. Porn and sexuality are really two different things.

I was trying to frame a question that pitted "religion" with something it condemns the most.

The "both" and "neither" answers were intended to include folks like yourself who do not watch porn, and do not go to church. Evidently, one does not need church to choose not to watch porn.

The religious argument is that without their influence, everyone would be raping and murdering in the streets. While not scientific by any means, the category you chose seems to indicate that "moral" (by their definition) people exist outside of church.

I do think it is interesting that so few people chose "Both" It is as though they are mutually exclusive.

[sweetheart]

5. I'd rather have sex or get stoned, or both

porno is just a proxy for sex
and church is just a proxy for getting stoned.

[TWiley]

10. Interesting observation.

Church people seem to be "addicted" to a particular emotional experience. Many fundamentalist services appear to be structured to create light-headedness, and profound emoting.

This might not be unlike getting stoned where the addict might be striving for a particular type of emotional experience.

I always thought religion was like Prozac, but your observation adds another dimension.

[sweetheart]

13. addict?

I must object to that frame. Not all people who smoke grass are addicts,
and not all persons who attend church seek an emotional experience.

I'd say actually, in both cases, there is a significant population
that use church and weed as a way of transcending experience altogether
to feel a transcendental sense of peace and fulfillment without
any externality whatsoever.

And many programs for people who "are" addicted to addictive drugs,
tend to use religion as the proxy. Its funny that the puritain culture
has them as either/or, when in more ancient civilizations, drugs were
used selectively by religion to open the doors of perception.

[TWiley]

15. I did not mean any offense.

I was looking for a word, and I picked the wrong one I guess. I was thinking more of religious addiction, and then I made the correlation to the drugs.

[sweetheart]

25. none taken, just making the frame explicit

peace,

:-)

[China_cat]

6. There's a difference?

[TWiley]

21. With "Dick, Colon, and Bush" leading the religious right,

maybe not. eh eh.

[arcos]

7. Both, at the same time

:evilgrin:

Just kidding...

I would rather watch a porno :P

[flygal]

8. We spend our Sundays going for walks

I think being in nature is being with God - especially when you're with family and friends. Of course, we live in Germany where most people have Sundays off to do so. Ah, those Godless Socialist nations.

[Crazy8s]

12. What a question!

I would have to choose church, tho I am far more into the pagan way of looking at things. I find that anywhere where people gather to worship in a positive manner, a beautiful energy is released, there for everyone present to absorb.

[TWiley]

52. Well, somebody HAD to ask it. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Depends On How You Define Church!

I play golf every weekend. We play early. (I play with a married couple that i've known for several years.)

One Sunday morning, the bells at the Catholic Church down the road started ringing about 9am or so, and my playing partner said to her husband and me, "Oh, it's time for church, we've got to go!"

My reply: "I'm already at church."

BTW: They don't go to church either, so it was a funny thing to say for all of us.

[mopaul]

17. i find your very question offensive, and now you've made us all look bad

god bless ya

[DistressedAmerican]

18. Anyone Know If There Is A Church Of Porn?

[TWiley]

28. Some ancient Hindu Temples have Sex Acts depicted

in carvings on the exterior of the building.

[jonnyblitz]

19. a porno.

that was a hard one.

[ArkDem]

20. Is it true that you can learn a lot about how to treat women by

doing both?

[noonwitch]

23. You porno perverts are going to hell!

God is going to get you for preferring dirty movies to a morning in His house! If enough of you keep answering that way, you just know it'll lead to another terror attack, especially if it's gay porn!

I guess you could make a case that you are appreciating the beauty and physical capabilities of God's creations.

[TWiley]

27. Yes, Thank God for the Creation of Beauty.

If neked wimmin were durty, then woodn't gawd be a pornographer?

[kenny blankenship]

24. hey, burned out on porno? Going to church is the new sick thrill!

[Habibi]

30. Depends. Which porno and which church?

[DemBones DemBones]

31. Fishing is productive?

:shrug:

[TWiley]

53. Why yes it is.

Fishing is the art of patient endurance. It is a good way to let the evil republicans fade from consciousness. In this way, it is more productive than church which is nothing more than a PAC with sunday lessons in Constitutional Law.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. Porno. The sacraments are more entertaining than the church's.

[RedCloud]

33. Porno helps me sleep...

Church just pisses me off with all the dunderheads spouting off...

[TWiley]

54. Sweet dreams ! or is that Sweat dreams?

[progmom]

34. sexuality and God are not incompatible

:thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

36. I saw something on TV a little while ago

About these guys going around with some "don't watch porn, go to church" thing. I forget what it was called, but it was ridiculous.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

[TWiley]

38. It does sound like a marketing strategy a church would use

I read an article about marketing, and it said that religion and government (political activity) were among the largest consumers of marketing.

[More Than A Feeling]

37. I can't sing along to a porno

so I choose church.

[TWiley]

40. How about a grunt along?

They seem to do a bunch of that.

[dhinojosa]

41. LMAO

Someone did that when I went to go see Episode III of Star Wars.

"UGH, UGH, UGH"

Crazy

[TWiley]

43. There was someone next to me who breathed like Darth Vadar.

egads.

[Deja Q]

39. Do both:

Watch a porno that takes place in a church...

"O holy father, let me beseech you to let me, um, baptise this woman with my own special holy water..." :scared:

[tjwmason]

42. Depends on the church concerned.

If you find the right place, then there is great beauty especially stunning music all around.

Compared with which - a few guys (and/or gals as per choice) fumbling around in the most odd manner, with acting skills worse than my teddy-bear (who is not RADA trained), and a sound-track - well let's not even go there.

I have been known to start doing a crossword during porn when I just got bored, whilst I have been tempted to during some church services I have yet to get the newspaper out.

On the other hand not all churches are quite like that described above.

[Shell Beau]

44. Is this a trick question?

No, really I would rather go to church! I don't like porn, they do some weird stuff on some of those porns and it really does nothing for me. But more power to those that enjoy it!

[JohnKleeb]

45. Depends

[kodi]

46. could i watch porn with nuns in it? i think that would make it a two-fer.

.

[TWiley]

49. When in church, I normally try to imagine the women naked

anyway. Otherwise, I usually get bored.

[NMMNG]

47. This poll is just begging for a crack about priests and altar boys

must resist....must resist....x(

[0rganism]

48. Hey! I was about to make that crack

Now you've made it seem all redundant &stuff. *grumble*

Still, right under the post heading about "sexuality and God are not incompatible", it would have fit really well. The crack. Would have fit. Oh damn.

Forget it. This thread is warping my fragile little mind.

[NMMNG]

50. That's ok

When I first looked at your screen name I didn't see "organism" :rofl:

What can I say....I've had two hours sleep in the past 22 hours.

[fleabert]

51. I don't love porn, but I hate church. I do love God though, s/he invented

sex!

Okay, hate is a strong word, I can't stand the churches I have been to, I am sure there are good ones.

just like there is good porn, and there is bad porn.

[bigwillq]

55. Porn

:evilgrin:
