Yes, they are allowed even if it's not accepted as being morally sound. Christianity has a doctrine of free-will and acceptance that people are not perfect. Meaning anyone can (and many will) do things that are immoral and that is expected. But if a person makes a personal choice to not take part in such things it is considered good and righteous because they were not forced.

A Christian shouldn't do these things, But lots of people do hang Jesus back on the cross, while they go out and do ungodly things, it like saying you stay here, you wouldn't like it where I'm going.

Only a Christian could hang Jesus back on the cross.

Jesus only died for those who accept him as their savior. He clearly did not die for the one's who do not because they will obviously be paying for their own choices. (at least so the rumor goes)

In fact, this is one reason why I would reject the religion even if I believed it to be true.

I refuse to allow Jesus to pay for my sins. Period.

Jesus cannot die for my sins because I refuse to let him. I wash my hands of the whole crucifixion. Even if it means I go to hell. That's my choice.

I'd rather go to hell than to nail an innocent man to a pole for my sake.

Clearly Christians don't give a damn who they kill to save their own butt.

Only modern day Christians are responsible for the crucifixion of Christ. No one else.

In fact, the earliest Christians didn't even believe that Jesus died to pay for their sins. They believed the Jews murdered him for blaspheme.

It wasn't until the gospels were fabricated several decades later and it was mandated via the sword that people were told that they had to beleive that Jesus died for their sins, and that the Church is the 'body of Christ'. huh

The authoritarians in those days were even more unscrupulous than the polititians of today. :angry:

This continued almost to the present day!

Do you realize that even the great Isaac Newton, only 300 years ago, could not voice his belief that Jesus was not God lest he face a public hanging by the Church?

The religion was extremely brutal and heartless. Hardly an institution of God. ohwell

True Christian are not supposse to do those things. They are in the world but they do not belong to the world, they are children of God.
They live by the spirit not by the flesh.
They are the holy spirit temple,they do not live in the dark. I am not saying they are perfect, they might sometimes commit sin not in purposse, they can come to God and repent and God will forgive them. Read the Bible! 1 John 3:8-10

Indulging in pornography or watching pornographic films is certainly not done "by accident". It fulfills a need for some if only momentarily and in a very empty sense. I would take it a step further and present the argument that the Christian indoctrination that essentially shunned female sexuality and insisted on repressing it had the exact opposite effect in which it only increased a desire to have it and witness it in some respect.

Just another ridiculous premise set forth by agenda driven males. grumble
