Why would 'god' be angry at people for looking at pictures of people having sex? If he decided that that is how the human race would reproduce, why would he consider that a 'sin'?
Isn't that a bit like someone who builds a computer and tells everyone, don't you dare look at the keyboard and the mouse! Those the sinful and wicked parts!

I don't recall the Bible ever admonishing against looking at porno.

God created sex to be exclusively between a man and his wife.
God commanded not to even look upon the nakedness of others in the Old Testament (Leviticus 18). Jesus upheld that principle in the New Testament when He said "Whoever looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Your computer analogy is laughable. An apprpriate analogy would be " Someone makes a computer and says don't use this to hack into banks and steal money, or to lure under-age children into meeting you."

shouldnt one who is a teen be busy studying and concerned about his/her future and career. shouldnt a teen or pre-adult have the fire within them to succeed rather than looking at something which would be of little importance in his/her life. where is the will and potentiality and inner drive to succeed?"
secondly this is where the responsibilty of the adult comes in. if im a responsible adult, who sees a 14-99 yr old buck-naked woman, then it is my duty and responisibilty to cover her up and NOT exploit her innocence and helplessness.
sex isnt a sin if it is between a married couple who come together with God as a witness. and moreover, sex is not everything in life and life is not about sex any time, every time.
a best of the relations is which where the love for each other is greater than the need for each other. no wonder sex is divine.

It is sinful when done outside of the context that God had it designed for, which is marriage. Not the marriage of me to men and women to women but the marriage of man to a woman and only for those two. It is no one's business to have sex outside of that. Nor is it right to watch others do it.
your computer analogy is great but lacks the fact that there are ways to use the keyboard and mouse. You did not show that there was only 1 way to correctly use a keyboard and only 1 way to correctly use a mouse.

Because the Christian God is the Ultimate Thought Police. As far as he's concerned, even the thought is as bad as doing the deed...so off to his private furnace you go.
His "justice" is a set-up for guilt and penance. If they could arrange it, I'm sure that Christians would even make breathing a terrible sin...that way every human on Earth would be in need of their snake-oil "redemption".

You are very naive. It is a sin because you are to only look at your spouses naked body. He did make the human body beautiful and gave us the ability to "enjoy" the human, naked body but he also tells us in the Bible that our body is not for anyone but our husband or wife. People who pose for smutty pics are just as bad as ones looking at them. As they say "your body is your temple"

It's not that looking at the pictures is a sin. It's that looking at the pictures can motivate you to commit sin. Such as Adultrey.

People just don't know how to make good analogies these days. Yours is just the latest example of this, no offense.
You have to look at a keyboard and mouse in order to use a computer.
But you do NOT have to look at porno in order to know how to have sex. People have been having sex since the dawn of time, and the vast majority of them didn't need to look at skin flicks in order to do so.
No offense, but that is quite possibly the worst analogy I've ever seen. Way off base.

Obviously you don't believe so because you're an atheist (calling God as 'god'). So why the hell are you asking this question?
