If you're not American you're probably thinking "What the ever-loving fuck?" I'm American and I'm thinking the same thing. But American fundies are whack. Many of them actually hope for an apocalypse so they can be raptured up to heaven.
Pretty sure it's at least a part of why the Christian Zionists are so gung-ho for the zionist entity, if they can get everything to line up as according to weird prophecy, they'll see the apocalypse arrive sooner.
Except they're wrong, because the messiah, whichever one it is, hasn't come back yet
So they're all gung-ho over a man-made entity that's really closer to blasphemy than it is divinity; and there's something simultaneously hilarious and 'parable of man's folly' about the whole matter and I look forward to hearing about how they all self-selected for Abrahamic Hell
because the messiah, whichever one it is, hasn't come back yet
He'll be back next yearYou know, I haven't studied the bible much as an adult. But I'm pretty sure God really likes it when people try to force his hand, that's all hunky dory and He'll be waiting to thank 'em personally in heaven.
the messiah, whichever one it is, hasn't come back yet
messiah came and left in the 1200s

crackers, 2023:
Seems like it's more that he's monitoring his son's porn intake in a way that makes it sound less like over-controlling spyware being imposed on the son and more like mutual accountability.
He's either already ideologically committed enough to fundamentalist Christianity to not watch porn, or more likely just has another device. So there's nothing for his son to "monitor".
My guess was the latter, but if I guess the former is a possibility although I'll skeptical
I think what's actually happening is that they share onlyfans accounts and are trying to save money by not collectively subbing to the same JOI content creator twice.
I thought at first that his son was, ya know, an adult, and I was like “Okay, that’s fucking weird, but whatever I guess”
But no, the son in question is a minor. This is a bizarre form of abuse and privacy invasion.
Honestly, the concept isn't that much different than going to AA meetings, but having your minor son be your accountability partner is pretty weird.
It is very much abusive. These groups effectively treat watching porn as the one of the worst things you can do other than murder. Even disregarding how something like this would be treated as a compulsion and not an addiction, this is NOT how you would treat any mental health condition. Alcoholics Anonymous is Anonymous partly so that you can manage that with people outside of your normal peer group. But having shit like this set up to go to someone in your peer group is just for social blackmail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accountability_software -- this isn't for "helping combat addictions", it's for social control and for making queer people afraid to come out.
I did write another comment elsewhere not too long ago (though in a different context) that covers some of how things like this are used as part of far-right radicalization and historically how shaming over sexuality is used as a sort of self-sustaining feedback loop for social control: https://hexbear.net/comment/4178468
