Anti-Porn Movement Site: NoFap

Christian news outlet LifeSite today points to the "atheist/agnostic site NoFap" as evidence that "the tide is turning against the porn industry." NoFap, as the name implies, is also an anti-masturbation site. From their main page:

NoFap® hosts challenges in which participants abstain from porn and masturbation. Seize control of your sexuality and turn it into superpowers. Recover from porn-induced sexual dysfunction. Stop objectifying and establish meaningful connections. Improve your interpersonal relationships. Live a more fulfilling life. You’re devoting yourself completely to your significant other instead of random pixilated girls on the internet who you've never met. It’s about enhancing your meaningful relationship, instead of establishing five-minute relationships with virtual girls online.

Apparently, NoFap members engage in one-on-one (ahem) challenges to see who can go the longest without masturbating. And there's a no-edging rule: "Edging is physical stimulation without orgasm. This is masturbation and counts, but it is your call whether it constitutes failure of the challenge. For the vast majority of our users, edging counts as a reset." How many times a day can one reset?

GOP Rep. Steve King: In 2000 Years No Gay Person Has Ever Gone To Heaven

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) is very sure that no gay person has gotten past heaven's velvet ropes since Doorman Jesus got the gig.

“I would say that what was a sin 2,000 years ago is a sin today, and we need to stick to that principle,” King said in an interview with The Jefferson Herald. The report from the bishops — which at the time of the interview King said he had “picked up little pieces in the news” about — is not a final guiding document, and is expected to generate animated debate in the church worldwide. “I owe it to Pope Francis to read it carefully and read it with precision before I pass judgment on it,” King said. “I would just say that in fact to pass judgment on his document seems a bit presumptuous as I hear myself say that.”

King declined to say whether he thought divorce or cohabitation are sins. “I think that I’ll not comment on that part,” King said. “I’ll just say that what was a sin 2,000 years ago is a sin today, and people that were condemned to hell 2,000 years ago, I don’t expect to meet them should I make it to heaven. So let’s stick with that principle.” When pressed on the people he believed are included in the “condemned” category, King said, “Let me say it isn’t to me to pass that judgment, and those who choose a lifestyle that I’ll say is not one that’s annointed and favored by my faith — or their faith, for that matter — that’s between them and God.”

King is a longtime favorite of anti-gay hate groups.
