Lions eating Christians

COULD A STAY IN ONE OF Britain's hotels harm your spiritual health? Sadly, yes. Gideon's Bibles may still be part of the interior decoration, but so are Nintendo games now, and, more worryingly, porn channels.
Pornography is on rap like some polluting water in many hotel rooms because porn barons have spotted a captive audience: businessmen on professional trips; conference-attenders; travelling salesmen lonely, tired from a hard day's work, often in a city they find alien. There cannot be a readier victim to the stealthy stalking of the porn industry. This climate of loneliness and alienation is fertile soil for the seeds of corruption and perversion that pornography sows. Seeds that may bloom into promiscuity, adultery and rape. So why don't we ban pornography from the airwaves? What arguments can we put forth in its defence? Does it provide employment for needy people? No (these are low-budget endeavours that often require only a couple of people behind or in front of the cameras). Is it great art? No these are not the latest offerings from Bertolucci, after all. Does it educate? Arguably, yes but for those married couples who seek to know more about sensual love, marriage counsellors are available.
Pornography thrives on the age-old principle of serving entertainment that appeals to the lowest, basest instinct only the Romans, who threw Christians to the lions, sank lower. But then, look what happened to Rome.
