Hmmm. No such luck!... ;-) ... Even so your comments are interesting. However it seems to me that your insight points to a different conclusion than the one you draw: that having discarded world-view A for world-view B, and then discarded world-view B in favour of world-view C, and then having discarded world-view C in favour of world-view D, a pattern is emerging. The reasonable conclusion is not world-view D, but rather the discarding of world-views. I did a search on “spiritual pornography” hoping to find people having graphic x-rated union with god… Hmmm.

You shouldn't read things that criticize the church because it's just a bunch of lies written by evil people under the influence of Satan. It's a forces of good vs. forces of evil sort of thing. They don't use the term "spiritual pornography" though. They call it "Anti-Mormon literature" (or just "Anti-Mormon" if it's not in book or pamphlet form). That's probably why your google search turned up so much stuff about your (former) religion -- each group uses its own terminology. The same idea exists in Mormonism.
