Does the statistic surprise you? If anything speaks volumes about the Bible's archaic views on human sexuality this statistic does. I know the Christian rationalization "Even if 99.999% of Christian men viewed pornography on a regular basis it wouldn't change the fact God absolutely forbids a man looking on a woman's body to lust after her. All I can say is such apologists are totally out of touch with reality.

The latest statistics on pornography and the church were released by the Barna Group at the Set Free Summit in Greensboro, NC earlier this year. The existing statistics were daunting enough, stating that 68% of church going men viewed Porn on a regular basis. "Of young adults 18-24 years old, 76% actively - and these are Christians - actively seek out porn".

If God didn't want men to view women's bodies with lust, he shouldn't have equipped them with so much, um, stuff. Apparently then what God really intended on was a gender of homosexuals. It seems therefore that he got the proportion of homosexuals to heterosexuals entirely backwards. Studies indicate that homosexual tendencies occur in about 5% of the population. Reversing this situation, and as frankly a very heterosexual male myself, I for one would much prefer to live in a world in which my competition for the females was limited to only 5% of the male population. It would be a great way to control population size as well.

America's Bible Belt states indulge in more online porn than other less religious states
A new study has found that US states with a higher degree of religiosity are more likely to be searching for sex on the web.
The study was compiled by researchers at Brock University in Ontario, Canada, and based on two years of data from Google Trends across US states.
Researchers found that states identified as religiously conservative and politically conservative were indulging in more online pornography than other more liberal states.
Religiously conservative states had higher proportions of searches for generalized sex terms, while politically conservative states were more likely to use specific terms like "free porn" or "xxx".
One could draw the conclusion that believers and conservatives are content to watch, and that non believers and liberals are more inclined to do. If one was of a mind.
