One week from today, the star of “Luau Orgy,” “Gazongas” and the ahead-of-its-time “Wanda Whips Wall Street” will walk onto the campus of Truman State University in Kirksville to debate a pastor on the subject most dear to his heart: porn.
It will fall to the Rev. Craig Gross to rebut actor Ron Jeremy’s arguments that pornography is a harmless activity that most people pursue in the privacy of their own homes.
“If Ron was right, I wouldn’t have a job,” said Gross, founder of XXXChurch.com ”” a Christian website dedicated to battling pornography. “Porn rips apart homes and families.”
The Truman State debate is just one upcoming anti-porn event organized by local Christians. Such events reflect mounting distress among Christians over pornography’s growing technological reach.
I am trying to start a “Geeks for Christ” group here. One of the things that I would like to do is to harness the resources that are available in Linux for churches and Christian groups. Linux can run on “castaway” computers that churches could easily get donated. There is already a Christian Ubuntu version which I have started to play with.
One of the other things that I was thinking about, but need to do a lot more investigating is in firewalls. There are stripped down versions of Linux that one can run on a 486 based computer that then acts a fairly solid firewall. What I would like to try to do is to combine this firewall with a internet filter to filter out pornography.
“Ted Bundy wanted to talk about the role media violence and particularly violent, hard-core pornography had played in his years-long killing spree, and he knew the mainstream media wouldn’t report that story.â€

Our former pastor got hooked, little by little, on on-line porn. A PhD, married to an MD, and a father of 5 beautiful children, he eventually ednded up in a sex club, was found out, lost everything and committed suicide. Porn kills minds, hearts, bodies and souls for a profit. It is the small sins and small temptations that are dangerous, as they lead you subtly down the road.
