The COG Catholic on Nostr: Assuming we all believe it is immoral -- and should be illegal -- to distribute ...

Assuming we all believe it is immoral -- and should be illegal -- to distribute AI-created CSAM, we should ask *why* we believe that.

It's not hurting any real-life children -- It's just computer graphics -- People have constitutional rights to do what they please -- We can't legislate what one person does behind closed basement doors.

These are terrible excuses! We all know such materials corrupt society and endanger children by fanning the flames of people's aberrant, disordered lusts.

*That's why we should oppose "regular porn," too!*

So-called regular porn (featuring allegedly consenting actors and actresses) destroys marriages and relationships, demolishes families, ruins careers, and wreaks havoc on many other fronts -- personally and societally. Especially against women, whom we should be protecting.

It's right to condemn artificial CSAM, but just as right to condemn the entire porn industry.

If you use it, stop for the sale of your eternal soul. For the sake of women everywhere. Go to Confession if you're Catholic. If you can't stop, get help. Pray the rosary often and ask assistance from Mary Most Chaste, she who destroys vices. No one who goes to her is left unaided.

This is nothing to take lightly.
