Yes, I'm a Christian, no I don't have a 'porn problem'. Unlike many Christians, I am adult enough to know that it's not my place to judge anyone for their behavior in this life. Judgement will be dealt with at a later date.
The only reason I am here on this board is because someone in the adult industry approached me and asked me to assist them in producing a solution to a rather vexing problem the majority of you all here have to deal with. I've met several dozen of you at the CybernetExpo in San Diego last week and I gotta tell ya, I had a great time with a great bunch of people.
While there in SD, I attended the FSC symposium where the panel of 4 attorneys spoke, along with Michelle Freridge and Tom Hymnes. The Executive Director of the FSC emphatically stipulated that the membership list of the organization would absolutely remain secret. That was good enough for me. I paid my membership in support of their efforts.
For the past 3 1/2 weeks I have been intimately involved with the 2257 issue, have gotten VERY familiar with the 18 USC 2257 statutes as well as the 28 CFR part 75 DOJ regulations. While they don't affect me directly, I can and do sympathize with those of you who will be severely impacted by their draconian methods.
If someone like me, a Christian (Libertarian, not Republican) individual can see the 'sense' in joining the FSC without batting an eye (no pun intended for those of you who have seen my 'one-eye' post... ) then surely those of you who would immediately benefit from the protections that FSC membership will provide for you, can belly up to the bar and pay for a 'round'. It's not like you will be paying the whole tab!

I have no problem with anyone's religion I was raised catholic and went to a catholic High School. I have a problem with people telling other people how to live. I have a problem with people pushing their views onto other people. I have a problem with the catholic church trying to cover up pedophile priest molesting children because it is bad PR for the church but yet they attack out industry. I have a problem with the vast majority of these evangelist who think they are god's spokesman, and am a evil person because i own a porn site but yet they are ok to go hire a hooker. I have a problem when the same asshole tries to blame his sins on our industry. If we wouldn't have tempted him with porn he wouldn't have hired that hooker. etc...
I wish the religious right would understand Free speach and appreciate it. It goes hand and hand with their religious freedome. It is short sighted of them to try to impose anything on anyone else. i am sure they wouldn't like it things changed some and they were being told what they could say and do.
They are picking a fight with us. They are attempting to affect my LEGALLY made income. I say we take the fight back at them. And when i say "them" i mean those that who think we are going to hell and want to put us out of business. I am not anti religion i am anti hypocrite.
