If you're a YouTuber, make a response video to this one. Critique what I did poorly, articulate what I could have articulated better. Pornography is evil and never acceptable. Let's shout that from the mountain tops while showing kindness and compassion to those who are currently ensnared in it. Freedom is possible.

This really opened my eyes to how conservativism, without the light of Christ, cannot be the solution to our problems.

“What we once called hardcore we now call softcore; what we once called softcore we now call Netflix.” Straight facts.

This discussion is a great example of why I'm moving from Judaism to Christianity.

The line, "if adulte adultery is the shot in the head to marriage, then pornagrphy is the slow poison..." really got me

[rosedevine]

"If adultery is the shooting of a marriage in the head, then pornography is the slow poisoning of it"
🙌

"...pornography trains us in selfishness" Spot on Matt. Thats truly at the heart of the matter

[andrefouche]

Now I see the difference between true Christianity and so called American conservativism. Well spoken Matt.

Mr. Prager: 
Won't drive a car on the sabbath.
Subscribes to Playboy.

[KyleWhittington]

Matt, thank you for having the courage to stand up for the truth.

[reillycassel]

This was like reading the dialogue between Christ and the Pharisees. Christ taught us that sin is more than the physical action it is also intent. Prager even goes as far to say that the intent is not sin. This conversation has shown me that a life lived without belief in the Incarnation is depressing because a man will spend his days justifying the evil he holds within.
Your work fighting pornography has led me to confronting addiction. Thank you very much

Amazing job Matt.

[thomasthellamas]

As a man who has struggled with pornography in the past, the ever so slight justification of that addiction and those purely evil chains is, without a doubt, disgusting.

Reformed Baptist pastor here. I so much appreciate the stance by the Catholic here and share his theological position on this issue. Subscribed.

Phenomenal performance by Matt, this entire conversation felt like Dennis trying to distance himself from positions that he does hold, and Matt not letting him get away with it. Well done

I’ve never been more proud of Matt Fradd than right here in this interview. He didn’t soft-pedal. He grew such a pair and stood up for the faith so strongly. Most masculine I’ve ever seen him.

[cfradd]

Thanks for loving me Matt & not lusting after me!! 😊

[Jackfrost]

Speaking as a Protestant I have never encountered ANYONE who would say stealing a stapler is the same as child molestation. Clearly the Old Testament teaches us that different sin results in different punishments. What I hope those people were trying to say is that ALL sin separate us from God and we ALL need a saviour, regardless of nature or frequency of sin

[OPiguy]

Thanks to Dennis for coming on the show! But Matt, thank you for defending the truth that porn is sinful and harmful to our souls and it’s perpetuation of evil beyond ourselves

[brendan.j.t]

Prager seems to think the pornification of culture is evil, but doesn’t mind men indulging in porography… seems like cognitive dissonance. Terrific job Matt 🙏🏼 glory to Jesus Christ

[jessicarowley]

I think his dad looking at porn shows how you can desensitize your children to sex. This is exactly why parents are concerned about sexual books in the schools and libraries.
