[WrongBaldy]

Pornography is an easy thing to get addicted to these days with it being so easily accessible and can really ruin relationships. Plus how normalized porn and fetishes seem to have been made..

Ben Roethlisberger has revealed that he was addicted to alcohol and porn. Duh! A real revelation would be that Ben wasn't addicted and just a regular old asshole. I know this is his way of saying that he's found religion and is all better now but he's almost 40. Shouldn't he have addressed this a decade ago?

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback who’s twice been accused of sexual assault said he wasn’t ready for the fame and fortune provided an NFL star when he joined the league and that he lost touch with his Christian values en route to bouts with alcohol and pornography addictions.

Roethlisberger made these claims as a guest speaker at a virtual conference on Saturday called ManUp Pittsburgh, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. He said that since he married his wife, Ashley Harlan, he’s reconnected with his Christian faith.

‘Not the best Christian I can be’

“I’ve fallen as short as anybody,” Roethlisberger said, per the Tribune-Review. “I’ve been addicted to alcohol. I’ve been addicted to pornography, which makes me then not the best husband, not the best father, not the best Christian I can be.

“You have to dedicate yourself and understand that you can get out of it because of the grace of God.”

He also claims that being baptized for a second time three years ago has made him a better man....

....The Tribune-Review report did not note any mention of the rape accusations during Roethlisberger’s appearance on Saturday. He did admit to making “mistakes,” getting “addicted to things” and “sin.”

“I’m trying to be a better Christian than I am an athlete at football,” Roethlisberger said. “I push myself every day to do that. It starts here. It’s not always easy. People don’t realize all the time that us athletes, we’re human. We sin like everyone else. We make mistakes. We get addicted to things. We sin.”

Did he apologize for raping those ladies yet...

If only he were a better """"Christian"""" and prayed harder to muh Jesus he wouldn't have raped those women.

Eh. Just another millionaire football player who’s career is ending “finding Jesus”.

The Old drug addict turned pastor bit.
Or the drug dealer that finds God and donates a small portion of his money to a rec center, while still keeping and living off of the rest.

Ben could have kept quiet about it. He has much more to lose than gain by revealing this. He's making himself vulnerable.

Perhaps by making himself the target of ridicule for millions he is emboldening a person with a problem, a person whose would-be ridiculers, although numbering in merely single digits, are powerful enough to shame him from getting the help he needs.

Perhaps Ben isn't sincere or perhaps he's a hypocrite. Still, I can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If his reveal makes the world slightly better today than it was yesterday then I won't begrudge him just because the reveal makes him better by more.

They also defend porn because its bundled in with "feminism" brainwashing kit aimed at American women...

I don't see many feminists defending porn qua porn. The usual stance is anti the objectification and male centrism etc.

I do see feminists defending female sex workers, including porn performers & directors. But that's not the same thing.

Is being addicted to booze the same as being an alcoholic?
