Every once in a while a few Christian freaks break ranks and exhibit something extraordinary… common sense. It is my pleasure to report that I have found one of these rare instances! I am truly proud to bring you the story of Pastors Craig Gross and Mike Foster.
Together these two have created XXXChurch, an online church that educates youth to the dangers of pornography. Now, I know what you’re thinking… gasmonso, what the hell, porn is good. I agree, porn has gotten me through some tough times. But remember these are Christians, so give them some slack. They aren’t about condeming it, just encouraging kids to not spend countless hours surfing the net for it, which I can kind of respect.
What I do totally respect about these guys is the methods in which they employ. They travel to pornography conventions in hopes of befriending those in the industry to aid them in their quest. Big deal you say, well they travel to these conventions in their very own Porn Mobile folks with pimp rims. And while at the convention, they hand out their very own customized bible entitled, "Jesus Loves Porn Stars." And to top it off, the use Pete the Porno Puppet (wmv|mov) to spread the word. DIGG THIS!
Of course, they have their critics, all of which hail from the Christian right. They have been told they’ve gone to far and that their bibles are misleading… blah blah blah. But that doesn’t phase Craig and Mike. They said it best…
I believe Jesus – he’d be in the show with us. He’d be mixing it up with these people ’cause he doesn’t look at them as porn stars or porn producers. He looks at us as all the same.
Well said my friends… well said. That’s why Craig Gross and Mike Foster get the Religious Freaks seal of approval!

How good you added digg
Seems that they’re just like any church, riding religion to make a buck. It’s well known that most porn stars (and strippers/prostitutes for that matter) say they they are christian. Rarely will you find an agonist or atheist woman in that job field.
heh i think this is diggable tho, so *shrugs*
cool find there, i can just imagine those using less popular (but more used) means of shouting
hey zealots ‘the meek shall inherit the earth’ mm
surely this new method will get more done and i’m glad for it, wasting time is just that, need not be porn, but porn is powerful x_x
I like these guys and they’re right if Jesus were around today he’d be breaking bread with these men & women.
And Rickler, whether the porn stars are Christians or not these men have a good purpose being among them. I honestly don’t see churches as existing to make a buck. Granted, there are individuals and groups out there who are and I share Jesus’ opinion of folks like that. In any event I don’t thing that’s the purpose of XXXChurch.
I dunno — The 30 second pete video you linked to ends with the puppet basically telling kids to tell mommy and daddy to say no to porn.
That goes a bit beyond the “teaching kids to not spend all their time surfing for porn” and falls right into the unfortunately large number of church like organizations that want to dictate how people think.
@Rickler
It would be nice if you wouldn’t group every single church together in one little pigeon hole. Not all churches are the same. Likewise, not all people are the same.
Narrow mindedness causes a lot of needless arguments.

I have supported the xxxchurch for a few years now I was so glad they finnally got this bible going. I am really happy because it is going to be the message version one of my favorites.
As far as Porn Stars being Christians. Well there are a lot of people who call themselves christians. I doubt there is much business for Arabic Muslim Porn Stars in the United States.
BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAH HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHA awww man, I love guilt free sex.
I am going to make it my personal mission to fuck every single person affiliated with this website.
All Internal…
all internal…
Riggler,
That’s because they’re controlled, were raised to be controlled, and don’t know anything other than being controlled. The porn industry and church are actually quite parallel (unless you actually think forgiveness was sold for cash — i.e. indulgences — by an honest, upright organization). At least the porn industry is honest about its intentions instead of this, “There’s a hell that you’re going to burn in forever unless you do what I say” garbage.
Common Sense
Rickler,
They actually seem to prefer being controlled (i.e. having other people “think” for them), whereas agnostics tend to enjoy thinking freely.
When I worked at a strip club in Miami as security. I took a porn star/feature dancer back to her hotel after her last night at the club. she was drunk/ high as I drove her from the club she started telling me stuff about her childhood to teens years that would make a sailor blush. I only wish xxx church got to her before the slime she called her boyfriend did. Its not funny when one of these girls breaks down in tears telling you she wishes she was dead so rock on xxx church I hope you win a few for god.
