BTW, the BIGGEST "judgers" I've ever seen are Christians.
I don't know which tickles more, watching an Atheist take the wind out of a Christians sails or watching two Christians argue over which one is the real Christian. Either way, I get a chuckle.

But as an atheist you cannot nor will you ever understand that, as long as you remain an athiest. Knowing God BEGINS with the heart and ENDS with the heart. It's not just an organ, my dear. God created that "organ" that has way more power than you will ever know until and unless you accept Jesus Christ.

So your arguments are pointless.....unless you know God. You're judging Christians and God is the only one who can do that. By what is really dwelling in the heart.
You have little idea of human anatomy. Do you use your liver as a thinking organ.
What importance (if any) does the human brain have for a christian?

The Christian Bible teaches men to view women as property or objects which they own. Just look at the laws in the OT. Pornography is nothing more than objectifying a human being. Christian men have a high rate of pornography addiction, probably for this reason.

According to this study anyway, porn use is the highest among conservatives and particularly strong among conservative Christians.
