More temptation than ever before?
It occurred to me today that one needs to be more diligent than ever against temptation in this day and age than in the past. The Internet provides so many opportunities for temptation it can boggle the mind. What prompted this line of thought was a common activity I do quite often - pursing CraigList sale ads. You may not know it but CraigsList has a section devoted to casual encounters (yes, it means what you thinking) and in there you can find all sorts of things, including nude photos. Anyone can get into this section after acknowledging that you are 18 years and older.
What got me started thinking about this subject is that CraigsList is supposedly a "safe" site. Years ago, you would have had to pay for a magazine to gain access to this particular sort of thing but the Internet has changed all of that forever.
So, I ask, do you agree that it takes more will power in this modern age to avoid temptation than ever before? Thoughts?
