Dear Steven,
What could be more scary than finding out your own faith is a sham, and as weak as I am, I actually kind of bought in to ths garbage…
I took the liberty to read a number of your threads and posts, because I’m having a difficult time trying to understand why you post these links for other Catholics to read. You surely must realize that there may be other persons who read what you post and also become weak?
Anyone ever doubt their faith by reading things like this?
What possible answer were you looking for from us?
You subtly force the reader to absorb the heresy found in your link in order to answer your question, which has a yes/no possibility. Yes, that was my problem, discerning your motivation, so I read a little further to get to know you. I saw your link picturing the woman’s breasts, and I wondered again why you would show this here, out of consideration for others’ decency.
You repeat so often that you are weak and scrupulous, which puzzles me why your spiritual diet consists routinely of garbage. Take another look at your preference for offensive websites, movies and the like. And then you repeat it as if you want us to look at them, too.

Sirach 13 vs. 1: “He who touches pitch blackens his hand.”
vs. 14-16: “Every living thing loves its own kind, every man a man like himself. Every being is drawn to its own associates. Is a wolf ever allied with a lamb?”
Tradition always shows Jesus “browsing among the lilies.” There seems to be an attraction for you to browse on unwholesome, dangerous food, by your own admission. Unless you remove yourself from these “occasions of sin” which you promise to avoid when you go to confession and recite the Act of Contrition, you may one day fall into a trap of no return.
I deal with sincere kindness and admonition, my friend, for I don’t think you are on a safe path.
