The free resource site for fellow churchgoers is designed to instill a biblical perspective on pornography and provide tools and advice for keeping porn out of the household, the organization claims.
Considered one of the largest online Christian networks, ChristiaNet was founded in 1997 to serve the Christian community. The website operators claim to receive an average of one million visitors daily.
"Pornography that is available via the Internet has brought vices and addictions into our homes at alarming rates," a ChristiaNet spokesperson stated. "Because the porn industry has targeted families through email campaigns and by purchasing Christian domain names, there has been a tremendous loss of innocence among children today. Now is the time to take back control from those targeting individuals and their loved ones with pornography."
The free resource site on ChristiaNet requires users to first answer a series of question regarding sex, marriage, and fidelity, each of which are countered with passages from the Bible.
Subsequent web pages offer biblical quizzes, purity screensavers and wallpaper, and a free porn-blocker download that claims to block not only porn web pages by pop-up ads as well. The site also offers a 'God's Plan for Sex' category in which users can learn how to cope with influences of porn in every day society.
"Society is being inundated with images that are sexual in nature," the site reads. "What are we to do? How are we to respond?"
ChristiaNet's recent turn on the online porn industry comes on the heels of similar efforts by other Christian groups like XXXChurch and Morality in Media in combating the effects of pornography within religious communities.
XXXChurch.com is a site designed to appeal to younger men and women grappling with Internet porn issues, and Morality in Media has taken a front row seat in backing legislation in Congress that would stiffen current holds on the porn industry.
Craig Gross and Mike Foster, the two ministers who founded XXXChurch, recently joined up with veteran porn producer Jimmy D to shoot a commercial aimed at keeping kids away from porn and encouraging adults who enjoy porn to act more responsibly.
ChristiaNet is also joined by Family Safe Media, the Christian Broadcasting Network and the National Coalition for the Protection of Children & Families, which have all made it their mission to defend the "biblical truth of sexuality."
According to the Christian Broadcasting Network, approximately 40 million people in the United States are sexually involved with the Internet and 72 million Internet users visit pornography web sites per year.
