If you look at the notes on @staff’s post about finally removing pornography from this website, there are a lot of very upset people complaining, making threats, and generally whining about the policy change.

On one hand, it is pretty funny to see the true impotence of the pro-pornography crowd on display as they wail in their death throes.

But, taking a second look, it is absolutely heartbreaking to see literally tens of thousands of people, real life human beings, foaming at the mouth and enraged to the point of making threats simply because there will be one less site on the internet peddling free pornography.

I am under no illusion that Staff’s decision is anything more than a business decision and that moral considerations were probably last among their reasons for doing this. But this is still a good moment for a teachable lesson on the (im)morality of pornography and how it warps the human mind, the human heart, and human desires.

Heaven have mercy on our souls and teach us to love each other more perfectly so that the evils of pornography will eventually become extinct. We were all made for so much more.
