I think if one takes Christianity seriously then they would recognize that sinning takes place in the mind, and that putting a chastity belt on your phone doesn't really change anything, not going down wrong paths is supposed to be a choice, not the product of community phone surveillance. God knows if you want to look at porn.

I don't think there is a non-bogus version of this especially if you are a Christian. An 'accountability partner' sounds like something Scientology or the CCP assigns to you but not a Christian

So if you're looking for the genuinely Christian solution: Have a relaxed attitude towards modern vices, you don't need to partake in them, just close the browser window. Little bit more faith in Christ, maybe switch the denomination, and less of whatever this is

"Brit says she was asked to install the app by her parents after she was caught looking at pornography and that her mother and her pastor were both her designated accountability partners. “I remember I had to sit down and have a conversation with him [her pastor] after I Wikipedia’d an article about atheism,” she says. “I was a kid, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have some kind of right to read what I want to read.””

Sin is a heart issue.

There are only two choices on the shelf: Pleasing God, or pleasing self.

Are you suggesting that God is completely opposed to everything we value?

[DHPersonal]

There are so many different versions of Christianity that it would be extremely likely to receive contradictory answers to your question.

I am most curious about the ones who worship Evil God (the one who literally hates everything that humans consider good).

Sithrak, perhaps

Why do you think God refers to himself as a jealous God? What do you think God is jealous of? The only thing that can be denied or taken from him - love from beings with (ostensible) free will.

In fact, I am certain every inclination of the human heart is evil from birth.

That doesn't appear to check out biblicaly, or from any logical perspective I can think of.

I mean...

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. Genesis 6:5

The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. Psalm 14:3

What is man, that he can be pure? Or he who is born of a woman, that he can be righteous? Behold, God puts no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight; how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks injustice like water! Job 15:14

The first two references use phrasing of "had become" or "have all turned aside" - you cannot become something without first being something else, or turn aside from something without having originally been facing it.

The third reference is stating that no one is capable of perfection, and that no one can earn their way back to God - but impurity only requires that someone not be perfect, not that they have no good.

To be clear, my argument is not that humanity is 100% good because clearly that's not the case. My argument is simply that there is natural good in humanity as well, and most people have more of it as children than after it's beaten out of them as adults.

That is just my reading of course, and I am no expert.
