Religious friend and porn

So this guy on my facebook wrote about how life sucks and he has an alcohol and porn addiction.

"Still struggling with alcoholism and pornography."
As people wrote to him, he just seemed to be getting angry at them, lashing out a little at some.

I tried to be comforting to his situation but I made the mistake of telling him it wasn't bad to watch porn because it is voluntary. I also mentioned a lot of people in the biz, shooters, pornstars and site owners live a good life that includes travel and money.

Kind of encountered a thread backfire, here is what he responded with.

"Thank you but that kind of thinking is what got me into this mess, my strength is crap, and so is yours. I am most sorry that my weakness would lead you to believe that God is not good. I made the mistake of forgetting who I am and not believing that Jesus alone is the source of joy and life and strength.
"for what does it profit to gain the whole world but lose your soul?""


One of his friends got to the thread and wrote this to me.

"I know a large number of people in porn industry who have drug addictions, suicides & violent deaths - an ex porn star has a ministry for help on www.shelleylubben.com/"

I did not realize how religious he and his friends were. He was once in a popular alternative band that did a few shows with Ozzy a while back. I am just going to drop it but was curious how some of you would respond to this.

My initial intentions were to comfort a friend but now I feel odd about the whole thing lol.
