Yes, I'm working on cutting every addiction, that's a big part of being a practicing Orthodox Christian. My biggest weaknesses are video games but I have wasted plenty of time on shows as well and I haven't done either as much in the past month or so.

But sexuality is a big part of our lives and while wasting time on any addiction like doomscrolling and binge watching is not good for us, porn can taint our relationship with the opposite sex and that's worst in my opinion




Your beliefs do not give you the right to impose your beliefs' lifestyle restrictions on others, period.

Even if they did, forcing people through state violence to adhere to your lifestyle isn't very Christian of you.


Can you quote me exactly where I imposed or endorsed imposing my beliefs on others?


Sorry if I may have sounded judgemental and good luck with your self-improvement trip. Orthodox Christianity can be helpful with tackling self-moderation issues. Just make sure you don't pay much attention to any extreme guilt-tripping moralisms you may hear along the way. (I am of Orthodox Christian background myself, and I have heard my fair share of them.)


It's ok, you were right to doubt that I understood that porn isn't the only sin. Any waste of time/ resources in pursuit of egotistical pleasure is a sin as far as I understand it. But we are taught that God is merciful, as long as we fight truly with our sins.
