![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Withdrawl from Erotic ArtSo!
After much thought and inner debate I have come to the difficult decision that it is wrong for me as a Christian to continue posting my erotic vore art publicly. This was not an easy thing to do by any stretch of the imagination, but reason finally won me over after piling high enough to squeeze blood from a turnip. 1. I have incorrect motives for posting; the things to which I look forward are usually feedback and having a larger portfolio. I have tried to argue with myself that I do this for the good of the vore community but really, what am I providing? I make other people happy and maybe inspire some to play with new ideas but all of those related to my erotic art are most likely also erotic in nature. Which leads to my next point; 2. I may be encouraging unethical behavior. There is no way around it, at it's simplest level, Vore is porn. Porn is harmful because it is abused by some and it abuses others. There are probably others that I'm hurting without even knowing it and that is unacceptable. 3. Besides which, there is NO REASON a Christian should be posting porn in the first place! This comes from reason #2, because the worse offense of posting porn is not that it fuels some addictions (which again, is unacceptable in itself) but that I might possibly destroy the faith of someone else because of my carelessness. Romans 14 is pretty clear about this. Paul addresses the gray areas of action and points out that nothing in itself is evil but if you believe it to be so then you do wrong if you indulge it. So even though I do not consider what I do wrong, there are far more other brothers and sisters who might! I dare not set an example that would cause them to stray, as Paul writes: "Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall. So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves." (Romans 14:20-22) and "Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom Christ died." (Romans 14:15) 4. There is one woman with whom it is good that I share my passion and one alone. To include strangers in my sexual fantasies is a shameful thing to do and is unfair to her. Before all other people, I belong to her. How much more then does my sexual attention belong exclusively to her? For anything other than this is adultery. 5. I am not spending my time wisely. My only goal is the great commission, to share with others the good news that Christ has died for the sins of the world, for you! Drawing is very time-consuming and believe it or not, sometimes posting can be as well. Neither of these things forwards the Kingdom of God, so I'm basically wasting my time and being an unfaithful steward (if you recall the parable of the talents Luke 19:11-26). There are probably more reasons than this but I don't remember them right now. A couple additional notes: I plan to leave my gallery up as long as Eka will permit it. It is the story of how I came to this point as well as the explanation of how I am the chief sinner. Perhaps this was all done as an example to inspire someone else as deeply entrenched as I was (and perhaps, still am). This is something I will struggle with for the rest of my life, because I love vore and to be able to share it with others is a great feeling; to be a contributor to the vore community is wonderful! The mentality that I'm just making other people feel good w/o attachment is the mentality that leads to orgies. Orgies leave someone hurt. That is a thought better addressed in itself though. I might possibly still do character drawings if they are not erotic in nature. I don't really know how all the gray areas of this work yet. We'll see. I am writing this as a Christian based upon Christian motives. If you choose to argue with me, please do so on the basis of doctrine and scripture, not opinions, as they hold little sway for me and will not be effective. I thank you for your time and for accepting me so readily as you have, but really must stop posting my erotic art. I'm sorry. *Addendum* Hey, reviewing this post, I realize that it sounds like my mind's already made up and I'm not gonna budge on this topic. I do not mean to say that I have now found all the answers and that it's straight up wrong for anyone to be posting erotic art. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, I'm still trying to figure that out. The reason I'm stepping out is because my conscience tells me to continue in my current path is wrong (For the above listed reasons). As some of you may remember, I've had a falling out with Vore before. I may yet be back again. Only God knows the answer. I only pray that whichever course I take it's in keeping with God's will, not mine. -Feng Ji Tseung (Lucky)

Re: Formal Resignation from Erotic ArtLucky, as long as your happy, thats all that matters and if you feel your happiness being an artist that produces with inspiration for your faith, then I wish you the best of luck, It was a pleasure seeing your art and probably inspiring for others to be artists as well, porn or not, at least as a contributor, you've earned my respect, by doing what you think is the best for yourself in the long run. people change and need to spread their wings, Caio mousey, and maybe some day we'll see a "lucky" with a gallery with more tasteful themes then just porn and vore and what not.
~salute~ and take care of yerself. ![]()
Re: Formal Resignation from Erotic ArtWell, I for one don't want to see you go, but that's alright. You have to do what's best for you. I've loved seeing your art, and greatly enjoyed more than a little of it. While a bit of me wants to try and argue with you, and get you to stay, I'm not going to bother. You'll be missed, Lucky. I hope life treats you well, though, and wish you the best.
Or, as some others might be inclined to put it... So long, and thanks for all the fish. There's something that doesn't make sense here: let's go and poke it with a stick.
Re: Withdrawl from Erotic ArtWe'll certainly miss you, but I think that the fact that you've made this decision yourself means that you deserve a great deal of respect. From everybody. Even if there are people who disagree with your choice, it's yours to make and you'll become a better person because of it ^_^

Re: Withdrawl from Erotic ArtGiven how mach hipacritcle bs the cherch spouts over its centurys of lies to gain power. so i dont think its wrong for you to draw porn. And i have found that religen all religen is only a way for curupt ppl, sycos and other crimenles to control and manipulate the ppl of the world. But if you feel you need to stop you'll be missed. But if i was you i'd take a hard fact look at religen be for tosing your self to its damntion. But thats just me
RE: Withdrawl from Erotic ArtHi!
Well, while I personally doubt that causing misery and pain to you is the intent of Jesus who died for the sake of all humans and because he loved them and wanted them to be happy and integrated as far as I understand doctrine, I am not even half-way firm enough to engage about a debate on the issue of erotic art within the realm of Christian doctrine (I am a genuine atheist, so it is not really my doctrine, and thus only known from the outside). So, all I can say is that I am sorry to see that you are ceasing contributing to our community and sharing joy with us. However, I firmly believe that people should act based on what their heart tells them, as everything else only leads to misery (except when their hearts are strangled by thoughts of harming others or themselves, in which case I feel their hearts are "ill" and they should not listen to them). So, if that is what you believe in, I will not force you to stay against your will. Likewise, should you decide to return, I, and I think most of the other members, will gladly welcome you back. So, the door to this community always remains open to you. Deathworks Something people may wish to think about - Yes, I am a spoilsport :) :)
Re: Withdrawl from Erotic Artdo what you feel is right for you and be happy about it.
Re: Withdrawl from Erotic Artlucky i have to say dang sorry to hear that personly im a christan to but we all have different ideas i know what your going threw and alot of poeple who have to just hope you make it and you find out what you want to do and your happy in the end
Re: Withdrawl from Erotic ArtPorn in and of itself, with vore is a religion. at least i see it that way. I put aside religion, and i look into logic. I'm not begging you to come back, nor to pursue your art for my own interest, but set aside religion for a first off and think how it affects you, the people you love, the community, and your morals. Do what you think is right, but make sure its a choice that has some logic behind it
Might i suggest looking at existentialism? Last edited by TheMan on Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:48 pm, edited 1 time in total.
