Piper on Porn
22 November 2008
The great tragedy is not mainly masturbation or fornication or acting like a peeping Tom (or curious Cathy) on the internet. The tragedy is that Satan uses the guilt of these failures to strip you of every radical dream you ever had, or might have, and in its place give you a happy, safe, secure, American life of superficial pleasures until you die in your lakeside rocking chair, wrinkled and useless, leaving a big fat inheritance to your middle-aged children to confirm them in their worldliness. That's the main tragedy.(More here)

I'm not sure I understand quite how Piper comes to that conclusion. Is the result of guilt really the main tragedy? I'm not sure... Not saying I disagree with Piper, but it would be intersting to read more.
Where did this quote come from?
The link is at the bottom of the quote you goose.
I thought this was such a good response to a "frequently asked question" that I posted it on a Christian Internet forum.
They came right back and told me I was Satan.
That's really sad, Radagast. There's a lot of misguided and ignorant people out there.
