You are correct about one thing:
Being an "atheist" certainly does not make one intelligent, or make one superior.
That being said, studies have shown the less religious a state is the higher the average IQ of its citizenry.
The states that are the most religious? They are on the bottom of average IQ's.
I agree...when I look back at myself 12 years ago- my level of awareness was much less...my intelligence was less. I decided to go on a quest..for the truth..I gave an intense and un-bias effort to search into the working of Christianity- How did this movement become so over powering and have been spread for so wide and for so long. I openly challenged evil - I looked at what the teacher Christ had said and focused on the actual meaning of the little bit of un-tainted scripture I could find.
I meditated in the middle of the night- I prayed to be changed and made new...I hoped for a re-birth. After about 2 years a change took place....The universe opened up- my mind was made more open to reality..and frankly I became more aware and more intelligent- THEN- my little inner voice said- put away the books- The truth will not be found there- the truth has always been in YOU.....So in essence I dumped formal religion and became all I should have been.....some would call that atheism....but it is not- I never gave up my faith and belief in God- I never disrespected the teachings of Jesus Christ...so I suppose technically I if in another time would be called a heretic. An atheist who believes in GOD....
This quest brought about an alienation to a degree from society and mankind and religion...and it was a brutal and lonely journey..But one can not go back after stepping into the light......Life was easier before...and ignorance is bliss...am I happier? No. As they say...it's a dirty job and someone had to do it...Few will take the unbeaten path- but it has to be done...at least atheists are attempting to search for the truth- It's sad and simplistic to jettison God..God is not religion.....I am certain that God appreciates an honest atheist more than a pandering religious zealot..who embraces IDOLS...Christians have turned Jesus into an idol.
One could post stories like this all day. Every sex crime is fueled by pornography, and everyone knows this, but most prefer to hide from this reality behind a diabolical interpretation of the First Amendment that would horrify the framers of the Constitution.
Pornography is destroying men.
Pornography is destroying children.
Are you a porn addict with children? If you aren't man enough to kick the habit, at least keep it entirely out of the house and off your home computer. If you expose your children to porn, even by accident, you're no better than the foster parents responsible for this atrocity.
Oh, and by the way: note that the pornography was homosexual in nature. Not a surprise, as this group practically defines itself by pornography. Here's another great argument to keep foster children out of the homes of open homosexuals.
Folks, this is what happens when people get their news from dubious sources and have vivid imaginations.
Being an old man..I agree to a degree with the writer that states pornography is homosexual in nature. For the most part that is what I noticed also...There is almost always an image of a naked male in most porn...I could see how a kid would get confused with the display not just of female genitals but male also...Porn years ago never contained a male figure. One writer said those who look at porn are just peeping toms..instead of hiding behind a bush it is a computer screen...That is pretty accurate- If it was real life would a porn watcher enjoy watching others have sex? If so there is something wrong with an individual who is fixated on other rather than having the experience themselves...It's like a dog getting a kick out of watching another dog eat...and not eating itself.......Today's porn is destroying the alpha male and making men into peering dogs.

Just because this happens to you this way does not make it hold true to the rest of people in the world. And trust me many people that watch porn also experience it themselves.
One hears this a lot. I don't buy it. These influences are powerful and they change behavior. The nature of pornography is such that its consumers are pushed to greater and greater depravity. They are quickly bored with the old thrills and driven to ever more perverted experiences. That has been the history of our culture since pornography became ubiquitous. Imagine "Fifty Shades of Grey" being a bestseller in 1950, or even 1965 - not even Hugh Heffner could have pulled it off.
No, they just want yet more beautiful, big breasted women starring in the porn.

Not true at all. In fact, the opposite is true.

Millions enjoy porn and commit no crimes and lead normal lives.

Watch straight porn to avoid the homosexual content.
