A new online survey reveals a significant number of Christians — both male and female — admit to having an addiction to pornography.
ChristiaNet.com conducted the survey, asking 1,000 visitors to its website 11 questions about their personal sexual conduct and their thoughts on sexual moral issues, including pornography. The website also queried pastors to determine if they were addressing the issue of pornography with their congregations.
Of the Christian men and women who responded to the survey, 50 percent of the men and 20 percent of the women demonstrated addictions to pornography.
The survey also revealed that 30 percent of all pastors are dealing with or have problems with pornography.
The Internet, which has numerous porn websites and facilitates accessibility to pornographic material, has been thought to exacerbate the problem of pornography in society.
