I don't often post xxxchurch.com posts here, because in the background level on that site it takes something outstanding to attract my attention. Every other post there is about the supernatural evils of porn, and many of the regulars firmly believe that demons are somehow wandering around bent on corrupting the souls of anyone who doesn't pray them away.
This post, however, has achieved that.
How am I supposed to reply to this? It's wrong in so many ways, it's hard to tell where to start. Do I accuse the poster of paranoia? Of being so egotistical as to believe that demonic forces are trying to destroy her family and she is the front line of a divine war between good and evil? Or should I try to point out that belief in demons is silly, even though I know that would be like shouting at a brick wall? I could remind her that three-year-olds do weird things, and grow out of them. But what I really want to do is shout at her to get out of the middle ages.

I'm really at loss for who to speak with about this. Let me start from the beginning and keep it brief. Before my son turned two years old, we found him "in love" with Ariel, Disney's Little Mermaid. He would stare at her picture for upwards of 10 minutes (highly unusual for an active boy toddler). I wondered if he was staring at "kiddie porn," as Ariel is basically popping out of a bikini. Needless to say, we limited his access to our daughter's princess books.
Flash forward two years. My son is now 3 and a half, and recently I caught him in the bathroom with my daughter's Barbies--he was sticking their heads down his pants, rubbing them around, and pulling them out. One by one. I watched him from a crack in the doorway, in disbelief. Once he was finished, he walked out and I confronted him. He seemed to not think there was anything wrong.
Today, I caught him sticking a picture of a beautiful woman down the front of his pants.
I am a very concerned parent, and would appreciate some advise, preferrably from a mature spiritual MALE. My husband thinks that there is a spiritual attack on our son. My husband has had struggles with porn in the past. Could he have "opened the door" for our son to be attacked in the same way? If so, how do we "close the door," and save our son?

How can Christians say they care about life and then destroy them so readily? Poor child.
