I found this on Raw Story but I had to look it up for myself, here.
A survey conducted by Christianet.com concludes that even Evangelical Christians can find themselves succumbing to the sins of the flesh, debauching themselves in astonishing numbers.
According to the Christianet press release,
"The poll results indicate that 50% of all Christian men and 20% of all Christian women are addicted to pornography," said Clay Jones, founder and President of Second Glance Ministries whose ministry objectives include providing people with information which will enable them to fully understand the impact of today's societal issues. 60% of the women who answered the survey admitted to having significant struggles with lust, 40% admitted to being involved in sexual sin in the past year, and 20% of the church-going female participants struggle with looking at pornography on an ongoing basis.
The survey was conducted by asking visitors to the Christianet website to answer some questions. Now, I'm no expert on the methodology of scientific polls, but apparently you don't need to be one to have conducted this sucker. No random samplings of the general population, no adjustments for certain demographic data, no margins of error. The "poll" was conducted by people going, "One, two, three..."
What cracks me up is the survey's assessment of what constitutes "addiction" to pornography and "struggling" with "sexual sin" and the like. By answering the question, "Have you ever struggled with pornography" with a "yes" answer, you're admitting to being addicted to porn. That's quite a stretch. Hell, I probably looked at more porn during my afternoon coffee break than most of these people did in the past year, combined. For most of them, catching Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl constitutes looking at porn.
But wait, it gets better.
About 58% of those surveyed said they'd taken part in a sexual activity that is sin, and about 48% said they'd "had sexual sin in (their lives) in the last year. Wow. Staggering numbers. Call the Pleasure Police! These Puritans are perpetrating porn-related perversions like popshots!
However, since the survey itself says that masturbation and looking at porn constitutes sexual sins, by my figures about two thirds of these numbnuts consider themselves sex addicts for jacking and jilling off to a dirty magazine.
Naturally, this is cause for alarm in the eyes of the Holy Terrors. Clay Jones, one of the perpetrators of this little game of three-card monte, naturally is beating the drum that the world is coming to an end because even they can't resist to giving in to their lustful appetites.
