Larry Flynt has died.

The man that gave so many of you carpal tunnel in your wrists growing up is no longer with us.

Good, a real country would have imprisoned him long ago.

Like Saudi Arabia? Nice aspersions.

America tried that once but the guy paid like a $10K fine in pennies so they had to let him go

Yep

[Rex54]

Yep

Conservatism and liberalism - two sides of the same coin confirmed.

For what? Exercising his free speech rights?

Yeah, like he ignored morality laws that have been in existence since the beginning of this country. I bet he was surprised on his first breath in the here-after (and not in a good way)!

Believe it or not, Flynt said often he was a believer in Christ. I am not so arrogant in my relationship with Christ as to say mine is 100% correct and anybody who deviates from me is hell bound.

Oh, and most of those unconstitutional laws, were written in the 1950's

Yes, when our society, as a whole, was moral. That all changed during the 1960s sexual revolution. Since then, ANYTHING goes as long as it feels good! If you think those decency laws are unconstitutional, then you have never read the documents that our forefathers drafted and signed nor have you read the Bible - in its entirety from cover to cover - you know, like you do Flynt's magazines. Judicial activism changed the decency laws!

Even from the beginning on the Mayflower - the Mayflower pact, it reads:

"Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one of another, covenant and combine our selves together into a civil body politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience."

And if you think Christ is going to turn a blind eye to unforgiven sin or to those that cause others to sin, when he returns and judges the world, you are severely mistaken! From Matthew 5:28
"... but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Also in Jude 1:4 ESV "For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ." And from Luke 17:1-37 "And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea ...".

What do you think Flynt's publications promote - family unity?

Do you think that Flynt's had a divine revelation on his death bed and repented for his sins? I hope so, but scripture also tell us in Hebrews 6:5 (since you say he was a Christian) that "It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age— and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.…"

Why? You always had the option of NOT reading his magazine.

Yep... no tears shed by me.

[Jack Lambert]

To be honest I thought he died years ago.

[msstatelp1]

Well there goes the old "Judge not lest ye be judged". Paraphrased of course.

When you drink, cuss, or have sex other than in missionary-position, you've forfeited that consideration.**

I preferred Penthouse. The women were way hotter.

It was a more intellectual magazine. I would read some of it. Especially the parts that started Dear Penthouse,

I learned a Hell of a lot about women's anatomy from perusing those mags back in the 80's.
