Those who are religious may believe this to be true‚ while it seems implausible for an atheist (at least one who claims to have any morals) to believe such a statement. Without addressing the issue of the existence of God‚ I will examine several facets of this claim in order to explore the two main points of view that a theist might have regarding this claim. A theist could agree

nights without being killed‚ and Rainsford survived‚ but didn’t give Zaroff a chance to send him to freedom. Justice on murder is based on whether the murder was necessary‚ but this murder was obviously not necessary due to the end of the 3 night limit. Some may say it was self defense‚ but there is no real proof that Zaroff hunted men besides Rainsford’s words‚ which only words are not reasonable proof.

This theory analogizes the spread of crime to a few broken windows in a building that go unrepaired and consequently attract criminals who break more windows and soon become squatters.

Emotions run high and scientific rigour falls aside where it comes to studies of the effect of pornography‚ the use of these studies in mass media and in academic debates. Sifting through mountains of rhetoric can be confusing‚ when few entering the debate can even agree on what pornography is‚ much less what are its corrosive effects.
