Porn at the World Congress of Families

Check these words given by Robert Knight on a Speech to the World Congress of Families in 2007

"When I was first getting into the business of defending family values on the think tank level, I saw Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family at a political conference. We were on a panel discussing threats in the culture. I presented a study about America’s National Endowment for the Arts and its bias towards avant-garde, anti-religious and shocking ‘art’ that was designed to offend people and to violate standards of decency. Dr. Dobson gave a talk on the effects of pornography, particularly on families. Afterward, I asked him why, given all the well-documented evidence of the harmful effects of pornography, can’t we win this part of the Culture War?" He said, and I’m paraphrasing, “Because in many men’s closets, or in their dressers, there is a stack of Playboys or some other so-called ‘soft’ pornography. When they hear us attacking obscenity, it’s like hearing distant cannons. They know that hard-core porn is bad, but they also know they have no business pointing a finger at anyone else, given their own private stash.” The political and cultural Left have a deep interest in promoting pornography. Millions of men who might have championed the moral high ground in the public square feel that they don’t have the right to take up any moral causes, given their own moral failures. One of the Devil’s best tricks is to persuade us that we are not good enough ourselves to favor good over evil, lest we be found out as hypocrites. Whatever you do, don’t talk about grace and redemption.
