Rabbi Offers Prayer for Web Porn Browsers

Wed Jan 21, 8:25 AM ET

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli rabbi has composed a prayer to help devout Jews overcome guilt after visiting porn web sites while browsing the Internet.

"Please God, help me cleanse the computer of viruses and evil photographs which disturb and ruin my work..., so that I shall be able to cleanse myself (of sin)," reads the benediction by Shlomo Eliahu, chief rabbi in the northern town of Safed.

Eliahu, quoted by Israel's largest daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, said he had responded to a deluge of queries from Orthodox Jews worried that the lure of Internet sex sites was putting family relationships at risk.

The rabbi recommends that Jews recite the prayer when they log on to the Internet or even program it to flash up on their computer screens so they are spiritually covered whether they enter a porn site intentionally or by mistake.

I am amused

Man, I'd love one of those for agnostic ex-Baptists.

"You are forgiven," flashing up subliminally as we read our daily dose of dirty stories, (or subminimally as the President would say) would save us a lot of angst.

I think I will start adding that to the end of all my stories. If people read them and get themselves off, they can read that, and feel better. Maybe even read another one and get off again. If they don't get themselves off, I will have to come up with something else.

I like to say a little prayer before entering porn sites:
"Please, God, let this be good porn."

If God wants to do something for Lit readers, He could start by teaching the authors to spell. If that's too big a miracle for Him, then perhaps just tell them about spell checking.

Our local minister has an impressive collection of tentace porn anime. So I guess that's celestially approved porn. For the rest, go talk to the rabbi.

Have you shown him my story about Arnold the Giant Squid - thread "Og does tentacle porn"?

I'd like to hear what a minister's views are on it.

Where did I put that link to the site that makes you an instant minister? Could be useful. "The Rev. Og does tentacle porn" sounds better. Shame you can't edit thread titles.

Irreverent Og

Ahhh I reckon God doesn't mind too much,it's all about appreiciating the natural form and he made the natural form so it's like giving him a slap on the back when we view porn...


.....or something like that!
