The New York Times covers XXXchurch.com in an article summarizing the anti-pornography ministry. Their marketing tactics include the slogan “the #1 Christian porn site” and a van covered with the slogan and url. They’ve also teamed up with a porn director to make a public service announcement about keeping pornography away from kids.
Radical tactics, yes, but they do clear the blinders many Christians have about the dangers of pornography (and the widespread use – the NYT quotes a survey that says one-third of U.S. pastors admit to viewing pornography).

I saw these guys on TV. I read an article in Leadership magazine several years ago that indicated that 36% of the pastors said they had view porn in the past 12 months. That is amazing!
I don’t expect clergy to be saints, but makes me wonder about them when they are condemning the behaviorr of others. Jimmy Swaggart.
Wow!

Of course you can expect that some Pastors would have viewed pornographic websites at some point or other. But the big question is are they hooked, confused by it, frustrated, guilty, enraged, concerned, armed with knowlegde? Many pastors may not have the slightest idea what their congregations are really facing…and just dodging the issue won’t help. There is a need to understand what is really going on out there and fight it without being taken prisoner. Its like going to Iraq!
