Quote by Steve Farrar, Finishing Strong,

In regard to pornography, 41% of all men reported having done one of the following in the last twelve months: watching an X-rated movie, visiting a club with semi-nude or nude dancers, purchasing sexually explicit books, magazines, erotic devices or sex toys, or calling a sex phone number.But of course, those statistics have no relationship to Christians who believe in the authority of the bible, are pro-life, and are committed to their families, right? Think again. A number of years ago a national conference for church youth directors was held at a major hotel in a city in the mid-west. Youth pastors by the hundreds flooded into that hotel and took nearly every room. At the conclusion of the conference, the hotel manager told the conference administrator that the number of guests who tuned into the adult movie channel broke the previous record, far and away outdoing any other convention in the history of the hotel.

Summary

The quote highlights the contradiction between societal perception and reality when it comes to pornography and Christian beliefs. The statistics provided suggest that a significant portion of men engage in activities associated with pornography, even among those who identify as Christians and hold conservative values. The example of a Christian youth conference having a high number of guests tuning into the adult movie channel at a hotel challenges the assumption that Christians are immune to or far removed from such behavior. It serves as a reminder that individual actions do not always reflect the values one claims to uphold.
