I Don't Know How to Write

Watching pornography is the viewing of explicit images, explicit images being images that uncover the nakedness of man and woman. Why is uncovering the nakedness of man and woman wrong? Is it simply because God said so in Deuteronomy or Leviticus, or is it because we know in our hearts there is something wrong with looking at pictures of people naked or during sexual intercourse. 

Sigmund Freud was so obsessed with sex that he even speculated that incest was the first taboo. A taboo being a restriction or something looked down upon culturally. He postulated that somewhere in some forest some primordial form of human beings would try to have sex with their siblings and were unsuccessful because of a stronger alpha male father who had a monopoly on sexual intercourse with his children and his wife. The siblings or rather the males become enraged and burning with lust for their mom and sisters gather together and gang up on their father and kill him. After which they feel very guilty about themselves and make a decision to ban sleeping with immediate family. Of course Freud can prove none of this, nor can he explain why they would feel guilty after killing their dad.

If this story sounded looney to you it's because it is and you need to know that sleeping with your sister and your mom is absolutely wrong. Looking at your mom and your sister in a lustful and sexually intimidating way is absolutely wrong. But if looking at your mom and your sister in a sexual way is wrong then why is it any better to watch nude pictures of sexual acts of someone elses mom or sister, or daughter? God calls it adultery, you can say "its nasty".

You could say, I am privately lusting after these images, im not harming anyone, and if I am its only myself. The negative effects of pornography don't need to be debated here, what should be considered is whether one would enjoy pornography of his mother, daughter, or sister? Is it right to fantasize or even watch pornographic images of your mother daughter or sister? If not, why? 

If it is then I suppose you wouldn't mind others watching pornographic images of your mother, siblings, and why not your wife? Why not your girlfriend? If others can openly watch pornography of your girlfriend, then why shouldn't they be able to sleep with them too? Who gives you the right to have a monopoly on women, Freud asks you? Why is it harming you if I don't carry any diseases and sleep with your wife?

Doesn't your heart cry out that's wrong? Wasn't violating the kings wife in even ancient pagan cultures wrong? Or should we share wives like the native Americans did? Or is all pornographic content on the internet consentual? Did every person in every image you view approve your eyes observing them naked? Is it for them to approve? If it isn't does that mean you can rape them too? Can you rape them physically, if you can rape them mentally? 

Does it matter how you feel inside or that will never ever work its way out? I mean we have no evidence of someone doing something because of how they thought, felt, or what they believed, or do we? 

Despite all of the evidence that watching pornography is plain wrong, and is in fact a horrendous evil of adultery, humans still consume pornography like thirsty camels. Why do we still like pornography? 

One could attempt to argue that its simply because humans like sex, and therefore, pornography portraying sex, or at least bringing humans mentally closer to it (nude images), it is a healthy outlet of our sexuality as humans. This is fascinating because if this is true, sleeping another mans wife is likewise a healthy outlet of sexuality. Sleeping with your girlfriend is a healthy outlet for our sexuality, why is it wrong? If it isn't wrong, does your partner agree or has she just "bought into social norms" that you have "risen" above. Why do many humans then feel violated, and robbed of love, when someone else sleeps with their sexual partner? Is it possibly because they feel less significant to the other person, and something "private" was shared between them, that an unexplainable connection was created that brought them together as one, and that bond has been violated? So much though that they write songs about it in every language? 

But what if you still like pornography? 

What if you like to violate other human beings for personal temporal pleasure via the release of chemicals that make you "feel" good. Do you have an ache in your body that drives you to constantly think sexual thoughts about yourself and others to satisfy that pain? What if in your own search for significance you feel satisfied in that someone who would never consent to laying with you, is uncovered naked before your, so as you can mentally/chemically dupe yourself to enjoy what you did not think you could physically have. What if that particularly gives you satisfaction because you feel a larger chemical reaction that gives you more powerful euphoric feelings? What if its a combination of many conflicting desires?

The truth of the matter is if everyone lived out what they feel, all of us would kill each other in pursuit of our own satisfaction, and I realize some people would like that too. The comparison here is to show a hypocrisy in moral relativism, because by violating one of God's laws, you reveal its absoluteness in that it cannot be changed because its written on our hearts. So that even though you like what you are doing, it is still absolutely wrong, and you know that it is wrong. 

This is because humans do what they know to be wrong. We are not all ignorant rather creative in our disguises, so that objective values, become subjective in that if we can justify ourselves before others. But what can be known about God and morality is plain to us, but we don't want to worship God or serve him, because we have sat ourselves in the proverbial authoritarian seats of our lives, and have likewise become foolish in our thinking! Our 'primitive' ancestors would create sculptures of God to satisfy there own moral dilemma, a God of wine, and sex, and parties, that follows human moral patterns. We look back today and as Westerners we think, how foolish were they in thinking they can create a God, yet the philosophers of our age think that we can all do what we desire so long as we don't harm others, not realizing that the desire to harm others is a very real desire! To steal dignity, value and worth from your fellow human is very much alive! We created entire philosophical systems that rob them of value! We have entire philosophical systems so we can have sex with whom we please! How foolish in our thinking have we become thinking we can just invent a value system out of thin air, one that is contrary to nature. How have we matured from our ancestors when they attempted the very same thing by creating God's? 

Has it not been the knowledge of the tree of good and evil that we have been eating from all along? Has our appetite wained? No it hasn't, I see a broken humanity behind all the disguises. I see evil hearts bearing forth much bad fruit with lots of "good" labels. I have seen ideas that flow into the man so that he can create more ideas about uncertainty of all ideas, because all ideas are received from the environment so that ideas cannot possibly be absolutely true, if they come from the environment. Then that idea too must be false, and not absolutely true, since that idea too came from the environment, since you claim all ideas are from the environment. 

When does it end oh man? What philosophical schemes will we invent to hide the truth? The modern man has become a marker, writing on a whiteboard "I do not know, how to write." 

This is the judgment against you oh man "the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed."

But all he is able to respond is "I do not know how to write."

And I say to every man who writes "I do not know how to write," oh how do you hate your soul oh man that you refuse to come to the light.

But the man replies to me "I do not know how to write!" with an exclamation! And I say, "oh why do you insist on death oh man, when you can have eternal life?" 

And he writes back to me saying "Its because, I do not know how to write." 

Such are all who claim, they don't know right, and what they really say is they hate the light.

What you should be writing is "I don't know how to love." What you should be crying out is "Where is the love," what you should be calling out for is "I've searched for love in all the wrong places and I cannot find it!"

Is there a remedy for your malady: "I like to do evil." Yes there absolutely is. Come into the light, come and lay down your life at the cross, at the feet of Jesus Christ. Give your sin to Jesus, he forgives your blight. Receive a new heart from him, a new spirit, because your old heart is evil, and desparately wicked. Stop writing "I don't know how to write," and start writing "Jesus teach me how to love." Transfer your self-reliance and trust to Jesus. And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

So if your eyes cause you to sin, pluck it out. For better to enter the kingdom of heaven with one eye than to go to hell with two. Stop claiming to be blind, for now you walk by faith, and not by sight.
