EastLake Community Church in Bothell will host an “XXX Debate” with visiting “porn pastor” Craig Gross (of Las Vegas-based xxxchurch.com) and “porn king”/film star Ron Jeremy at 7 p.m. March 5 in the church auditorium at 3301 Monte Villa Parkway, Suite 200. Cost is $5 (free with student or military ID).

Pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States alone, but serious discussion of the issue is rare, reads the event listing on EastLake’s Web site. Is it degrading to women, or empowering? Is it addictive and destructive habit, or a window to a fun fantasy world?

The listing continues: In this intelligent and multi-faceted debate, all aspects of the pornography issue are discussed and examined.
