Craig Gross on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos

[rick4691]

Just watch; like most preachers, a scandal will come out in a few years saying he got high and boned some of the pornstars :P lol

[sigurjong]

People need to be responsible for their actions. If you're a young woman and you're prepared to suck cock for a living, then don't expect to get respect. Some women in that industry think it's empowering to suck cock in front of the cameras and it may be to them, but in the eyes of most people it isn't. They've almost dehumanized themselves.

[demarkman29]

All addiction is just a symptom of a larger problem going on underneath the surface.

[chchmiel]

Boring

TheHour my msn in profile! Craig Gross on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos

[Mailman692]

well I guess if people are "addicted" to porn someones got to help them

[clipsryan]

Maybe he should direct his preaching towards the Catholic Church and their cover ups. Talk about unheathly veiws on sex! Craig is taking the shit we've all known for years and pointing the finger as if porn takes responsiblity out of our hands. If that's not enough, he's pushing his religion to wage the already fighting war of closet perv christians vs pornstars and fans.

[mermaidofsuburbia]

@clipsryan He kind of covered all that in this clip.

[clipsryan]

@mermaidofsuburbia He also kind of contradicted himself in attacking porn and claiming he's not attacking porn. To your last comment; you clearly have no clue what kinds of porn there are and how it's not the male dominated, sexist womanizing business you think it is. And cartoons don't represent true life but that's why it's ENTERTAINMENT. Also, lots of couples have "untrue" sex.

[mobman47]

I got my first look at porn when I was 10-11, in all honesty I think it was beneficial to me. When your growing up your going to start asking questions about things (or your going to start hearing about it), and at that age girls aren't even really interested in that kind of thing yet anyways. Its just more like a gateway into understanding sexuality a bit more. It hasn't screwed me up or anything, and I didn't lose my virginity until I was 16 (which is where I believe most kids lose it).

[mermaidofsuburbia]

@mobman47 You're kidding, right? Porn helps you understand sexuality? How, by presenting women as nymphos whose only mission is to please a man sexually and not care much about her own needs? Or creating a stylized version of what women should look like (blonde, skinny, big tits - and we wonder why we have eating disorders in this country)? I am by no means a prude and I have viewed my share of porn myself, but get real. Porn does not represent true sexuality. AT ALL.

[clipsryan]

@mermaidofsuburbia Not all porn is women getting plowed by men. Stop generalizing all the fucking time. Many couples have found different fetishes to spice up their sex life. Just because you have a negative view on sexual exploration, don't attack the responsible ones.

[mobman47]

@mermaidofsuburbia well I commented a long time ago so I'm not going to try to remember what I said. anyways you said "Porn does not represent true sexuality. AT ALL" and yeah, it doesn't. But it helps INTRODUCE to sexuality, at least for ME it did. I understood what sex was, how it was done, but I was aware that its fake and acted. And not all porn presents women and nymphos whose only mission is to please men. I've seen videos where its just a man bringing a woman to her orgasm.

[TheValidity101]

@mobman47 "I didn't lose my virginity until I was 16" Most "kids" do not loose there virginity that young it is a myth.

[BlutUndEhreSS]

BLess his soul ..

[Trifecta34]

porn is for old single men who live in their moms basement and like to play with them selfs

[TheGreaterGood80]

"the average kid gets their first look at pornography at age 11"

hmmm, I got my first look at pornography at the age of 10, and it was from a magazine because the internet wasn't available back then. So far, I haven't cheated on my wife or destroyed anyone's life, well...not through sex lol.

[konothecook]

porn doesn't lead to strippers and affairs, that's just absurd. Watching porn isn't going to make you go out and buy a woman's service, and it's not going to make you stop loving your spouse.

[ReasonandFaith1]

You said that porn doesn't lead to strippers and affairs and that it won't make you buy women services and it won't have you stop loving your spouse. My question to you is, how do you know this? Can you back up your claim with some facts and evidence? What about the people who admit and say that porn led them to become strippers or to go out and buy women services....

[Imnotspencer]

its good that porn didnt do that to you,but as for others it can really screw up somebodys life man.its like drugs some people use it and it doesnt hurt them that much but for others it basicly controls them and kills them lol

[lucasboden]

I don't agree totally with with Craig, but i think the world could use more christians like him and less christians like the neoconservatives and Fred Phelps and the pat robertsons of the world.

[butteryblue]

@lucasboden don't group neocons or pat robertson with phelps.

[shaylahamm]

I know how you feel, I would not say I am addicted because I can stop for months at a time. But i do know that there are times where it is really hard to not just type in that URL and start watching.

[melaniestevens]

Awesome interview. Awesome ministry

[SeeThinkFall]

I have porn on my laptop, one film, and I am a seventeen year old girl. I don't have an issue with porn, but...He makes a lot of very good points. Really interesting!

[ozymandis45]

Hey makes alot of good points

[tyson1337]

man craig is HOT :)

[MARCO3535]

hey man. im naked!! g

[washburnt45]

Craig Gross you the man.. yea you the man.. no one else in this world is ready to stand up against porn in the tru christian way...

[wmtdv]

mowriter

Craig Gross IS A REAL AMERICAN!

[Largehippo]

I'm impressed. Usually the religious types don't even understand (or refuse to acknowledge) the questions they're asked. I'm gonna keep watching porn and not believing in Jesus, but I'm still impressed.

[XxBrEeZyXcUpCaKeXx]

creepy

[kkannabella]

lol

[ruselling]

I Think this is great. Porn is a plague to moral society. Very addicting and very destructive.

[teknotexan]

I'm not a Christian but I can see true altruism in Gross. I've always had issues with the shame I get from watching porn, knowing how much drugs is involved in the industry, how the mafia used to control most of it (and still does), and how stars are killed off if they break contracts. There is a need for Craig's ministry and I am happy he is doing this for others. Many blessings!!

[Air420]

GOD, I hate religion.

[sshhhhhhhhh]

lol thats a HORRIBLE thing to say

[futureboycolin]

pfft. what a creep.  jesus is a hoax to control you.

[koekhapper]

PORNO FTW

[4ourty5ive]

Good stuff. Definitely a great ministry.

[jackfckntwist]

this pastor is HOT and should be starring in pron

[micahmatt]

I like this guy. He makes a good point about how its not anti SEX but is against the misuse of it. Man this dude rocks. Sex is a personal thing between two people and shouldn't be used the way people do. I like this guy.

[masterj22]

@micahmatt he has a ton of great books, check out starving Jesus, or the gutter.

[piricarmen]

@micahmatt I couldn't agree with you more! When people are so hardwired from watching this stuff since the age of 9, 10, or 11...it's kind of hard to break away from it and thing that there is something not quite right. It's so hard to convince men in relationships that it is hurtful to their wife or girlfriend. Men are visual creatures and once exposed, esp. at young age it's just hard to see it as harmfful.

[TheThejoseph]

@micahmatt exactly except sex is between husband and wife to bond and help connect on a deeper level to share something amazing. sex outside marriage just complicates things

[thexlastxsong]

I like this guy, he really makes sense! He really stepped outside the box and must have an AMAZING moral foundation. That's Jesus's work for ya!

Go man go!

[MUN7001]

this guy is an idiot, so its the conservative church's fault, why porn exists, good one lol

[mowriter]

The conservative church didn't engage the culture with biblical sexuality, they treated it as taboo, so in the vacuum the devil's take on the matter filled in.

I can't imagine the amount of temptation this dude goes through, maybe he's tempted by drugs and not pr0n, but I wish him well. Wonder if he's a eunich, that's the only explanation I can come up with.

[jalojalka]

His wife is in this ministry with him.

[azn88hunni]

what happens to people who watch porn/are involved in that industry who are religious but not christian? what happens to the buddhist guy who downloads porn everyday, or the broke sikh college student who stars in threesome videos? this pastor sounds like he can approach anyone who has anything to do with porn, but i don't think non-believers will instantly embrace the lord or anything..

[kkannabella]

omg the preist or what ever he is is fucking hot

[SilentHillFTW]

Haha, he is. He's talking about porn addiction and I'm thinking about jumping his bones o.o

[EscpdFrmPsykward]

I think I'm gonna go watch some pron...

[openmindedproduction]

I learned that I should share my porn collection with others in order for it to be more healthy for me and not keep it a secret...lol

Interesting and funny interview, the most interesting is when he talks about the hate mail from other Christians. He seems like one of the smartest Christian I've ever heard actually.

[fixitluis]

hes dealing more with christianity which is a sham, and christianity is just jealous cause porn is a billion dollar industry that doesnt go looking for anyone, some people have fantasies i had some of wanting a 3some and other ladies may want that or worse to each their own

[TrebenWhahaha]

porn is better then raping little boys at church! BUUURRRRNNNNNNN!....in hell.

ha ha two jokes in one.

[TysonMS]

I agree. I think if priests watched porn they would stop raping children.

[Quake110]

If priests could MARRY and have CHILDRENS like NORMAL human beings, that will fix the problem!

If rabbis and imams can do it, why aren't priests allowed?

[LiberALvelLegisIII9]

well if the men didnt all look like ron jeremy those stats for women watching it would be higher

[smotpoker86]

He has bibles with his picture on it.... thats bad.

[mrdd]

this was interesting.

he has really nice hair too.

[graemecow01]

Just a very interesting interview all around.

[morimoko]

who cares if people watch porn, doesnt really do anything to society.

[ssha53]

wow i love this guy!

[ilovecutedorks]

WOW!...the porn pastor is CUTE! 0_0

[eladbari]

porn addiction is better than perverts raping girls in the streets :\

[timjobes]

I think it adds more fuel to the fire of the rapists.

[mcneadub1]

what a fagbag

porn helps the economy doesn't it

[bracketkid82]

the hour rox

[Brine49]

lol
