And neither do I, but if while you engaged in such behavior some adult stood 
by and watched with great pleasure I'd define their behavior as "SICK".  In
addition, if you were my child and some adult watched with great pleasure,
I'd be loading my gun!

If, in the original post, the context: "a photograph of Jesus in a jar of piss,
or a finger in a penis" been instead: "deer running through a field, a 
farmhouse on a snow covered hill, a little girl exposing herself" I would not 
have immediately conjured up some pornographic image.  Since I found 
the first two images so offensive I ASSUMED the third was also (if I assumed 
wrong then I stand corrected).

|My ass is mine, Bill.  

If God lives (as I know he does) then eternity belongs to him!

|Keep your Lord out of my piss.

That is what I am trying to do by supporting organizations (such as Focus On
The Family, etc...) which fight pornography and the "left-wing" attack against
the moral fabric of our society.
