Go read some books on basic cosmology, and try to get your head around just how frigging huge the universe really is.
There are about a hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone, and it's certain some will have planets orbiting them which host intelligent life. Then there are at least a hundred billion galaxies in the universe. (That number is difficult to visualize, but I suggest a way to do that below.)
Your magical sky-fairy is, I assume you believe, in charge of all that and aware of everything going on everywhere.
Narrow your focus down to one tiny planet.
The current population of the world is about 7.4 billion. That number is so huge it's difficult to grasp, but here's a way: A computer monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 has about two million pixels. Imagine an enormous wall of 3,700 monitors. You are one pixel on that wall.
About 107 billion humans have existed over the last 200,000 years, so now you're one pixel on a wall of 53,500 monitors. Even that last number is difficult to visualize, so imagine a wall two meters high, and about four kilometers long (six feet high and two and a half miles long, if you're American). You're still one pixel on that wall.
Now try to imagine all the unkind, cruel, and truly wicked things those billions of people have done to each other over that vast time span.
Considering all that, and assuming your magical sky-fairy did really exist, do you honestly believe you're so damn important that what you have on your hard-drive would actually matter to him/her/it?
Be kind and generous today to the living creatures you share the world with. If your sky-fairy did exist, and if it gave a damn about humankind, that should be far more significant than your porn collection and whether or not you choose to watch it.
The idea that some omnipotent, omniscient being cares about how naked humans touch each other and who watches that is utterly bizarre. Any god who did care about such things would have to be completely mad. Is your god a deranged, sex-obsessed pervert?
IIN to have about 4.32 GB of porn on your PC but still not watching it?

hmmm... you're right in every way! Why heck would God even care whether I watch it or not?
Your suggestion is very helpful to me.
Thanks a lot.
