Dorian Gray

[davefromcm]

Thanks for the props... now go back and study :-)

[BanishedOutlaw]

LOL, the lead singer is my Calculus prof. at university. I HAVE to go give him props for this!!

[TheGroupOfFour]

For all of those commenting negatively we pray that you will someday understand. 

Jesus Loves You All!

[Gyzmo383]

yeah, i bet those 8-16 year olds found it 'accidently' lol, this is shite

[duuude4]

This is lame I'm going to watch some porn

[ksv3o]

hell yeah man, some 70s hairy stuff will fix that up

[cowofwar]

Haha, my "soul gets ugly"? Are you serious?

p.s. I deny Jesus Christ, although I bet it would be fun to sexually gratify myself using all his holes.

[BigPurple121]

I've masterbated twice today & this weekend I had sex with my girlfriend like 5 times. I'm gonna go home, smoke a joint, watch an adult movie staring a horse & a women, eat some tuna fish (literally, like an actual can of tuna) and pass out

[chewedblackpen]

Great song, great message!

[DvDvDh]

Fantastic, great song, we shud all take note from the facts in this video

[MarAfrem]

Keep it up, guys!

[Egofem]

Huh. These guys really didn't get that book.

[davefromcm]

Listen to the words. In the book, Dorian Gray commits all sorts of heinous acts, yet he remains beautiful to the outside world. It is only his picture that gets ugly. What the song is saying is that when one indulges in porn, then although you may think you look fine, your soul (ie metaphorically, the picture) gets uglier and uglier

[RidersCanucks]

i tried to find a clip of porno music and came across this video and found and find this to be the worst video/song combination i have ever seen in my life.

[redgirlinbluedresses]

I'm a bit iffy about this song. Though I am Catholic and angry at the porn industry for the exploitation of women, masturbation is a practice that seems to be more healthy than harmful. Perhaps if one masturbates without pornography and uses just their imagination? I donno. I love The Picture of Dorian Gray! It's such as stunning piece of literature!

[crownandnails]

it all leads to the same, because the lust objectifies women into being less than they truly are...

[christmasx]

porn kicks ass!

please send porn to me

thx

[FIF1189]

I hate porn in all forms.  I do like this song.

[Azshmo]

Christian rock doesnt make better Christians, it makes worse rock

[MzMaihem]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[targetx4ever]

omfg porn is one of the last important problems on earth

[Ghurkin]

I think most of the people 'offended' by this video don't quite understand what the Catholic perspective is on porn. While people argue that "they want to do this" that does not excuse the motivation behind mastubration itself itself. The motivation to masturbate to pornography comes from the idea of seeing woman as objects, and that cannot be disputed.

[Azshmo]

Yes it can. No one is complaining about the men doing porn, what about women masturbating while looking at men? Are they "objectifying" men? Are they viewing men as objects?

[crownandnails]

sure, but which is the problem in society, men objectifying women or women objectifying men? I'd say the former

[Azshmo]

Neither. The problem is that women feel objectified. Simply blaming this on men is a rather large copout if you ask me.

[crownandnails]

I never said men were the only problem, but you can't tell me it doesn't make it much worse that so many guys feed into the stereotype that we love women just for their bodies and not for who they really are...

but yes it would be a copout if we just blamed this on 'men objectifying women' although that is a major part of it.

[zzxzqwq]

What about objecifying blow dolls. That is what Phil from Chicago does. Is that wrong? Sickago.

[drewmosh]

i say fuck you all, pussies. these girls make their own fucking choices, so fuck off and stop protesting random shit just because some dude years ago wrote a book that you guys seem to believe is true. OH SHIT, SOME DRUNK ASS NAMED JESUS GOT REALLY INTOXICATED AND SAID HE WAS THE SON OF GOD.

fuck off.

AND, dont say that im evil, cause making this song is just as fucking bad.

"porn is bad"

no, believing in a bunch of bullshit is bad.

:)

[AubreyDebrett]

You know it isn't necessary to have such a narrow idea of what sex is. Sex is not just your prefernces and your insecurities it is individual. Sex is masterbation, making love, erotic art writing and poetry, pornoraphy, Michael Angelo's David, Byron's Don Juan, Mozart's Don Geovarni and infinately more.

[AubreyDebrett]

A catholic refencing a gay writer,

Gosh how terribly confused!

A just like with the bible,

You pick and choose the bits you use.

[pulsejet1]

As a song, it sounds very 'produced' and boring. As a video, it's very blah and uncreative. No room to think, just watch and take the message.

Also, I don't trust anyone wearing a ROCK FOR LIFE shirt.

[faithmy]

The best comment was the one that said porn stars were making and "honest living". Talk about stupid.

[MarcusDitzel]

Terrible video, thanks for contributing to FaithTube... And think of the crap somone would get if they posted a video of some guy screaming "god is a lie" bunch of hypochrits.

[Jim5150jvc]

Great video, thanks for posting!

[bertha428]

Pornography is a type of addicting drug that harms you and others. Porn dirties the word sex. Not everyone is a freak about sex, so why so much display? All I am saying is that we shouldn't corrupt people with nasty-derivations of what sex really is; something specially-intimate. Sex is personal, not public.

[AubreyDebrett]

You know it isn't necessary to have such a narrow idea of what sex is. Sex is not just your prefernces and your insecurities it is individual.

[MarcusDitzel]

the first step to beating sin is to recognise it...child molestation and religious brainwashing must end. In ireland the war between different sects of christianity has lasted for generations. only recently with the decline of religious fanatacism in europe has it come back into balance. I am guessing these people are americans, perhaps in the mid south.

[Hans293]

Not sure whether you are supporting or opposing the band and song, Marcus. They are trying to get people to recognize sin.

The song encourages people to avoid sin and seek purity of heart. If you think child molestation is caused by excessive purity ("religious fanatacism"), you are deeply confused.

[MarcusDitzel]

Really, I thought I made it clear...I am completelly opposed to this band. In every way, shape and form. Consenting adults creating pornography and making an honest living at it are the latest victims of verbal assault by religious nuts...just not it has a tune.

[Hans293]

By the way, in America, Catholics and Protestants manage to retain their deeply help beliefs without killing each other. And if you look at the history of Russia, China and Cambodia in the last century, the atheists don't have any better a track record than the believers. Far from it.

[cuha]

it still dosent stop the child molestation and other things that they do. besides, athiesm is a new philosophy compared to christianity i hardly think that more people died due to athiests then at the hands of catholics and christians. just look at the crusades and every other war and death commited due to 'god's word'

[garysweir]

It's kind of funny though a religious catholic band being influenced by a gay writer. Porn is an innocent thing some people do take it to extremes though, snuff movies etc.

[cuha]

whats funnier is that catholics are the number 1 religion accused of child molestation. Kind of makes you wonder where they got the stats for this video....

[MarcusDitzel]

yea, thats true...perhaps there is some pent up frustration from the vow of cellebasy preists take...and porn being evil HAHAHAHA

[NerdsLikeNylon]

I feel like I just got came on.

[greenvii]

www.xxxchurch.com...misadverti­sing. i want my time back.

[ohotis]

YOU THINK PORNOGRAPHY IS HORRIBLE, OBJECTIFYING, AND DOWNRIGHT HORRIBLE FOR WOMEN?

That's the least of your concerns- turn on MTV, open a fucking Magazine.

Start confronting the sources of degredation and objectification that are saturated throughout our whole society.

[MarcusDitzel]

I agree with this one, thought I still think theres no "evil" in consenting adults crating pornography.

The magazine that I find most insulting has to be women's day...I have flicked through a few at work and it's ALL diets, makeup and comparing yourself to celebrities made easy. So superficial and messed up.

But I suppose if thats what most women want to read it'll stay in business.

These women that we are objectifying? Yeah, they're getting paid. They want to do this, and they're doing it to themselves.

As for the date rape comment, that was a joke.

However, what's the big deal? Is it all about resisting temptation? You know...Oscar Wilde wrote, in The Picture of Dorian Gray, that the only way to get rid of temptation is to give in to it. ;)

And I'm curious. Where does it stop being art and stop being porn to you?

Where did you get those stats, by the way?

[davefromcm]

They are also being victimized and we are encouraging people to be viewed as mere objects for our desires. Every living person deserves to be treated with dignity. If you go to www.xxxchurch.com, you can read testimonials from people coming out of the porn industry. It is very sad how exploitive this industry is.

[ebacherk]

@bw13187 Oscar Wilde eventually repented of his promiscuity and turned away from it. He wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray as an example of what giving into temptation (especially repeatedly) does to one's soul, mind and body.

[bw13187]

This song is awful! And lol at the auxilliary percussion and keyboards that you can't hear because it's mixec below the boring, repetitive guitar(s).

Anyway, porn is great. Wouldn't you rather have kids at home, wacking it to porn, than out and about date raping girls?

[davefromcm]

How about respecting woman for more than just being an object and recognizing the dignity of the person? How about giving men enough credit to be able to control themselves without needing porn? Humans are more than just animals in heat. If you believe that porn is necessary for men not to date rape, well, that has got to be one of the most pathetic comments I have ever seen.

[MarcusDitzel]

Excuse me, respecting women for more than objects...what like listning to their wishes and letting them choose a career. The girls in porn are there because they enjoy what they do and think its worth getting a huge ammount of money to fool around like that. Is everything fun evil for you guys?

there are guys in porn too but obviously they must be the evil protagonists exploiting the poor women *eye rolling action*

[cuha]

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

I hate how people say that porn 'objectifies'women, this would be 100 percent true if there wasnt man porn out there. And more importantly to judge whos to say whats porn and whats art?

[cuha]

im sorry but humans are animals, and animals do go into heat. i dare you to prove me wrong!

[drewmosh]

WRONG, we make ourselves THINK we are more than just animals in heat, casue thats exactly what we are.

FOCUS ON A REAL PROBLEM

PORN IS GOOD AND YOU KNOW IT
