Utah top porn consumer in Amerika... Mormons?

[abrown2986]

These statistics are greatly misleading. Utah restricts other types of pornography, so they have to go to internet. Also, since when has Utah always equals Mormon?

You need to repent for your dishonesty.

[54v115]

That's what you get in Temperance societies... double standards ... you can't hide your internet usage boys and girls...

[cassidyorme]

THE ONLY REASON THAT UTAH LEADS THE NATION IN ONLINE PORNOGRAPHY IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO PORN SHOPS IN UTAH.. I LIVE IN VEGAS, ANY GAS STATION HAS PORN...YOU CAN GET IT AT EVERY STORE YOU STOP AT

[jlmcbride1]

not really surprising. I am an active Mormon and I hate the members. They are always so ignorant all the time.

Mormons turn to the internet for porn, in the privacy of their homes to avoid being seen by other Mormons since its a big No No.

[crazymarine1991]

Shit this dont come as a shock for the mormons say you can not masterbate and drink coffe or smoke but thay can tell people that porn is bad but thay look at it them selfs. Yah that sounds like utah to me

[MonkeyBones4434]

Go UTAH!!!

801

SLC

I'm going to go watch porn riiiiight now!

[PennnSmith]

There is not a single fact that Mormon's can't twist like a pretzel.

They're inspired.

[Joeki11a]

Why are people surprised?, these people fuck all the time, having countless of kids

They use Porn for educational purposes?

[5dddddaviddddd5]

But it doesn't make sense, Michael Jacckson wasn't mormon. Or was he?

[999Atwood]

@5dddddaviddddd5

Michael was a Jehovah's Witness but about the same thing.....total sexual monsters. Forbidden fruit must indeed be sweeter. Super Freaks

[readyjojoy]

These numbers will always show a small state like Utah for leading because the population is small. Anyone with a statistical background will know that. ...in cases like this a Simple Random Sample has to be done to exactness and population size is extremely responsive. That is the reason and this professor knows that and won't say it. He has to give how, and process in which it was concluded, of his information. Stats are biased all the time in a lot of instances because if this science.

[fubecabr]

"These numbers will always show a small state like Utah for leading because the population is small."

WY has the smallest pop. of any state and borders UT. It has average levels of internet porn consumption. There's a total of 15 states with smaller populations than UT.

I don't think this survey really tells anyone much. UT greatly restricts the sale of porn. Only softcore porn like playboy is legal. So naturally, if it's not easily available locally, people would turn to The Internets.

[uiwqe]

i wonder how many mormons are in this category..they think they have a licence to sin anyway.

[mormongod]

Us mormons love the porn and there is nothing wrong with that.

If you read the New Testament in Revelations Jesus says 'before thy second cumming I will give thee lots of internet porn for thy people and they will make great ejaculation for thy Savior'

[readyjojoy]

You're that gay anti Mormon that got excommunicated. I've seen some of your post and I think I know who you are. I bet you went on a mission.

[mormongod]

gay, anti-mormon, excommunicated and went on a mission.

You got 1 out of 4 right. good job.

[mormonmilitia]

sorry. Idaho is about 30% LDS. explain the lower rate for Idaho, jackass.

[THEMISFIT2012]

30% In ID. vs 96% in Utah, pretty big difference.

[mormonmilitia]

Utah is closer to 75%. there are half a million non-LDS in SLC alone.

[THEMISFIT2012]

80% according to Wikipedia, and yes the total percent is shrinking in Utah, maybe more mormons are finding the real Jesus.

[mormonmilitia]

HA!!! wikipedia says it's 62%. look again, dumbass! wikipedia documents your lies!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[THEMISFIT2012]

Better watch your language or they'll take away your magic underwear. Anyone else surprised that when anonymous a Mo. will say anything? Just like the old joke, why do you always take 2 mormons fishing with you? Because if you only take one he'll drink all of your beer!

[mormonmilitia]

good change the subject.

[THEMISFIT2012]

Mos are still the majority and they are still the ones looking at the porn, they are not the only ones but they are looking at it none the less.

Fighting on the Internet is like the spacial olympics, even if you win you're still retarded.

[mormonmilitia]

you lost. get over it. I'm a research sociologist and a statistician. I'm well acquainted with the methods people use to lie with statistics. You cited wikipedia with your 80% figure. you lied . I'm convinced that all anti-mormons are liars.

[fubecabr]

"I'm convinced that all anti-mormons are liars."

OK, name a single lie made by Simon Southerton, D. Michael Quinn, Sandra Tanner, or Gerald Tanner.

[mormonmilitia]

Ed Decker is evidence enough.

[fubecabr]

Ed Decker represents all critics? Is that the best you can do?

Do Paul Dunn, Warren Jeffs, and George P Lee represent all mormons?

"and I don't have the time to waste with all the other liars"

Well, if they're liars, it should be easy to point out just a single lie. But since you can't, that makes you a liar. Making false allegations is a form of lying.

[mormonmilitia]

Decker is a well-known liar. Most LDS critics parrot his claptrap. That makes them liars. "by their fruits....."

[fubecabr]

"Most LDS critics parrot his claptrap."

Really? When does D Michael Quinn, the Tanners, or Simon Southerton accuse Hinckley or being bisexual? AGAIN, name ONE lie made by Quinn, the Tanners, or Southerton.

[mormonmilitia]

Quinn- mitochondrial DNA is only half of the story.

Tanners- they say that Oliver Cowdery left the Church, inferring that he denied his witness of the gold plates. Oliver Cowdery, himself stated that in his wickedest of days, he never denied his witness.

An incomplete truth, with the intention to mislead, is a LIE!

[fubecabr]

"they say that Oliver Cowdery left the Church, inferring that he denied his witness of the gold plates"

They never say that he denied his "witness" of the BoM. They say he left because he caught Horny Joe rolling in the hay with Fanny Alger, calling it a "dirty, nasty, filthy affair."

They cite Martin Harris as saying that no one, including himself ever saw the supposed plates with their "natural eyes" but "spiritual eyes" only. In fact, this is alluded to in the Testimony of the 3.

[fubecabr]

"Quinn- mitochondrial DNA is only half of the story."

But Quinn doesn't write about DNA. Quinn is a historian. The other half of the DNA story is the y-chromosomal studies, which agree with the mtDNA studies.

[mormonmilitia]

sorry, wrong dude.

On "Early Mormonism and the Magic World View", scholars have criticized the book as relying too heavily on environmental parallels without a proven connection to Smith's ideas and behavior, that it accepts at face value the disputed Howe-Hurlbut affidavits about JS's reputation and behavior and a newspaper account of a money-digging agreement involving Smith , and that its central thesis is implausible w/o Hofmann's "Salamander Letter"--which turned out to be a forgery.

[mormonmilitia]

cit. William A. Wilson in a 1989 book review in The Western Historical Quarterly

[fubecabr]

"scholars have criticized the book as relying too heavily on environmental parallels without a proven connection to Smith's ideas and behavior"

What scholars? There are few scholars at YBU and none at FAIR and FARMS.

"and a newspaper account of a money-digging agreement involving Smith"

The court records regarding this have been found and substantiated the newspaper account.

"Hofmann's "Salamander Letter"--which turned out to be a forgery."

The Tanners were the first to say it was a forgery

[fubecabr]

The reason that the Salamander Letter and other Hoffman forgeries were so successful for so long was that they were based on mormon history. Magic and mysticism were indeed a part of his life. The Salamander Letter touched on that.

I love how the salamander letter, once again, proves that mormon profits have no revelation or power of discernment.

The kinderhook plates were also another great example of the lack of prophecy or revelation of a mormon profit.

[fubecabr]

"and that its central thesis is implausible w/o Hofmann's "Salamander Letter"--which turned out to be a forgery."

Early Mormonism and the Magic World View was published in 1978. The salamander letter didn't show up until the early 80s.

The salamander letter and the other forgeries showed the Tanners to be intellectually honest. Even though these forgeries were further evidence for the arguments the Tanners made, they published an attack on the forgeries in 1984 and helped expose them.

[mormonmilitia]

and I don't have the time to waste with all the other liars

[mormonmilitia]

i know mentally handicapped people that are more mature than you. and i love them very much.

[mormonmilitia]

all the negs for stating the truth. typical.

[mormonmilitia]

it's all the anti's like shawn lookin at the porn.

[THEMISFIT2012]

4% of the population in Utah in NOT LDS so that's a heck of a lot of porn for just 4%. They would have to do nothing but sit at their computers and look a porn 24/7 for Utah to get that high a rating from the slim Minority of people here that are NOT Mormon.

[Boudica09]

ROFL!!! I just got to laugh, they lead the nation on porn consumption every day of the week except sunday! I am in no way surprised at that or how many of my mormon women friends complain and file for a divorce over it. They even go to their Bishop, and I've not heard of even one time one was excommunicated for it even when very excessive. Saints?.. uhuh, tell that to someone who doesn't know better!

[thatjimguy]

So what would LDS have to do with more porn? They are not the only ones who are supposed to wait until marriage for sex. So what in LDS culture is the factor that makes porn more used in Utah?

[THEMISFIT2012]

96% of the population in Utah is LDS so, they must be the ones looking at the pron. After all if only 4% of the people in Utah were looking at the porn how could Utah be the highest Porn consuming state?

[thatjimguy]

But what is it that makes them more apt to look at porn than others? Catholics are the same in regard to no masturbation and porn. So what is the difference?

[THEMISFIT2012]

I couldn't say I'm not Mormon. But the statistics all point to the fact that Mormons love their porn. I have family in Evanston Wy. when you drive past the adult video store there you see 9 out of 10 cars have a Utah plate.

[thatjimguy]

Well, then I would say that's a Utah thing, not a Mormon thing. Not a practicing Mormon thing anyway.

Just like where I live, everyone is Catholic or Baptist, but many don't really practice it.

[THEMISFIT2012]

96% of the Utah population is Mormon, 96%! If it was just the non-actives and the other 4% Utah would not be #1, and how do you account for the drop off in use on Sundays aka Mormon sabbath? You're just going to have to deal with the facts, Mormons love their porn.

[bigd318]

that is quite intresting.... I gotta laugh at that! Porn is not the way to get to heaven by mormon standards Haha! I should know, I was LDS for the longest time. Now, I am jumping ship into Christ's loving arms!

[tinckerbelle]

I happy for you. I jump ship when I was 22. My records have been off the mormon church since september 5, 2007. Christ arms we a free.

[bigd318]

Thanks and Amen! Praise God and his glory! I know we are free in Christ's arms!

[bagpiper2005]

Isn't that lovely? Of course, by those same standards, that's why the 21 drinking age doesn't work...people love to do what they aren't supposed to!!!

Just goes to further my point about the LDS being bogus.

But don't get your hopes up. ALL religion is bogus.

-LG, an ex-Mormon atheist.

[boganlewis]

any religion that is big on legalism and making sure you behave in public is bound to have this sort of thing happen. Religions that emphasise inner transformation rather than outside conformity would probabaly have different figures

[REVPIPSTER]

LOL You see! YOU SEE! If The Western World practiced Poligomy like Joseph Smith and Brigham Young promoted, then Men would not have to go to Porn sites to get their multitude of women! LOL (just Kidding - can you imagine what it'll be like to have 5 or 6 nagging wives? I'm having enough with 1!)

[tezkingkong]

Doesn't omiolo live in Utah?.... :)

[thatjimguy]

Why would LDS be the main reason of more porn? Too tightly wound? But that could be all the same for any religious group that says sex is a no no

[meanhead1337]

Where is sex in Christianity a "no no"? It's a gift to us, and even a way to worship God.

[Weasel7711]

Sex itself? Not prohibited. Fornication and adultery are. Martial sex is encouraged, is a gift, and can be a form of worship.

[thatjimguy]

That's what I meant when I said it. You really didn't think I meant no sex ever did you?

[Weasel7711]

My reply was to meanhead1337. It thought he was about to argue free sex theology.

[markedbyhim]

Sex is not a "no no" in Christianity.Sex is a blessing inside the boundaries of marriage.

[ddiiaa52]

Because they try to do everything themselves instead of the Holy Spirit changing them inside. They try to work their way to heaven and it's impossible. God Bless!!! Very Interesting info.
