Masturbation is just wrong. It is sad and pathetic.

^^ thats what i was thinking, but personally im not going to fully believe a book that has been recreated more times than the civil war.

and if im mistaken doesnt the christian god forgive you for your sins?

 

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening,
terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in
this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the
religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by
giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their
view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and
learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness;
chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.

 

All of my christian friends tell me that I am going to hell for not believing in god. I guess that is the ultimate sin. What an ego. So I guess I don't have anything to lose. In fact, I think I might just go jerk off right now. Later!

 

It always amazes me why Christianity (or, to be more precise, Catholicism) have such a bee in their bonnet about masturbation.

They justify their claims from the story of Onan, letting his seed fall of barren ground:

Plus the story of Onan...

(1) Actually refers to the withdrawal method of contraception (which, incidentally, is 1 of the only 2 forms of contraception that the Catholic church approves of - the other being the rhythm method, relying on the timing of the woman's periods) after Onan went against Hebrew law & chose not to inseminate his Sister-In-Law, after his Brother died without leaving a Son.

(2) Is found in the Old Testament - something which Christianity seems to be conveniently selective about which laws they observe, and which ones they claim don't count any more, ever since the coming of the Messiah. For example, it is clearly stated that all male children should be circumcised (something which I am pleased is no longer the case).

Furthermore, just because something is not stated categorically in the Bible doesn't mean that it isn't so. Just because it doesn't mention that Jesus discovered masturbation as he entered puberty, just as all other boys (and girls) of his age have always done (and always will do), doesn't mean to say that he didn't do it. If this was the case, then urinating & defecating would also be forbidden, as these, too, are not mentioned, despite the fact that there are plenty of references to eating & drinking (which is another thing that many religions turn against on religious grounds, despite their blessed role models imbibing on a regular basis).

 

lol woooooooow...

this is the religion thread now? weeeeeeeeeeird

 

^^ lmao

 

wow! just! wow! fyi i grew up catholic and i found nothing wrong with masturbation. second of all i am now an atheist and although i do not have a problem with religion (just isn't for me) shouldn't you be doing something more ground breaking like being kind to your fellow neighbor rather than telling someone that they are going to hell for something in which you possibly tried. i do volunteer work to try to help make the world a better place. why not try that instead of posting something condemning people. peace & have a beautiful day.

 

Fuck that shit.

 

This is ridiculous! Really awful! No-one has the 'right' to the knowledge of what I do with my sex drive (God-given?); not priest, nor immam, rabbi or clergy of any stripe. Masturbation is not a religious practice, so get the hell outta my way you dumb dudes. It's ok to stiffy little kids, to hump on the sisters, to hang, burn, or cut heretics - but God forbid a simple pleasure like a wank. Does everyone not understand how silly and childish it is for a bunch of dudes who dress like mothers, but say call me 'father,' to attempt an invasion of private human experiences. What gall, for the religious among us to think they have insight into adolescent behavior which is totally harnless, private, and noone's business! Bullshit to all them holy joes in robes and bells and smoke and caps. What a world this would be without all of 'em. Pray hard, brothers and sisters for divine intervention to do away with all of them.
Let us be! Keep your wierdness to yourself so I won't criticize you either. Let us all live in peace.

 

Thank goodness I don't believe in God...

I was almost worried, then I remembered all that bullshit isn't real anyway... :cheers2:

 

I love how masturbation is said to be wrong yet if it was, God wouldn't have allowed it to have so many beneficiary effects with your body. Nobody who fingers or smacks their dick around thinks it's wrong, otherwise they wouldn't do it. Anyone who thinks it's wrong is just insecure & immature.

I believe in God & all but some of you religious types take things too seriously and believe anything shoved down your throat. You'd believe breathing was wrong if a Catholic religious figure said it. That's exactly why I'll never belong to any particular religion.

 

i must be like his nephew or something then cause my secret flute gets alot of attention

 

let me just say that Catholicism, has a lot of its theories based on human opinion. They read the bible and warp what they want from it. Which is exactly why some have clothing restrictions, and saying suicide will get you to hell. When in theory, every sin is forgivable except going against the holy spirit.

Therefore - Masturbation is fine because it is frowned upon by Catholicism because of the shear fact before "it isn't right." God truly doesn't mind.

 

if were all gods children,

what was so feking special about jesus??


and i bet god has a crafty wank when no one is watching

 

or Jesus????

 

Everytime i see jesus up on that cross i cant help but think hes a little hot.

 

Once, twice, three times my savior!

 

Sorry but your wrong. Your religeon is a lie, and your a sheep for believing it. There is no heaven or hell, your just wasting your life with that fairy tale.
