Moslems don't have pork? What?
-
Christian question..
-
Steve,
so your quite comfortable to masturbating with porn? and not to pry or anything.. but do you believe in God?
-
The anti_Semite didn't know that Moslems are circumcised as an Abrahamic covenant with God, and you didn't know that observant Moslems don't eat pork?There were all kinds of rules in the Old Testament that Jesus (or Paul) nullified. But Islam doesn't recognize the New Testament, other than allowing that Jesus was a prophet. So Islam follows a lot of the same rules that observant Jews follow. ("Halal" is roughly equivalent to "Kosher".)

so your quite comfortable to masturbating with porn?I'm not saying I do or I don't, but I'm completely comfortable with the concept.> do you believe in God?No. It greatly simplifies life. Or complicates it, depending on how you look at it.I realize some people have problems with porn addiction, as some people have problems with alcohol addiction. But I'm completely comfortable having a beer as well.

You Should remember these 2 things about Christian beliefs and make your disicion based upon them. - preists dont take everything word for word from the bible in their sermon. They tell you there opinion through study of the bible themselfs. Read those sections of the bible and then translate them yourself. - This is 2000 years ago and the writers of the bible saw the world differently. I've always belived that cheating on your Freinds, Gf,s BF,s and especially cheating after marige is wrong. Why? because your not going to solve problems in your current relationship by starting new ones. Masturbating, I'm not sure if it's seen as a sin. That's your choice to make. So... If Your really uncomfortable with the idea then it may be better to just not do it.About porn:Although i'm not perfectly sure, Fantasising and porn are both pretty much, ways of expressing lust for somone else unless you havn't started a relationship with anyone else. Since porn isn't just the same person or people. you cant say that the lust is for that particular person in the piture. Also... take this into consideration.- most Marital relationships with 2 people were started because there parents forced them togeather. In otherwords, these 2 people may never of had a relationship at all, the marige could have been imeditate. So techecally having sex before any of that would, in my mind be wrong because i belive that you should have sex for the sake of expressing love to somone. If your doing it before you have a relationship then who on earth are you expressing love to?

preists dont take everything word for word from the bible in their sermon.They do if they're fundamentalist. Plus, in the Catholic church, most area of doctrine are settled by the Pope, and there is a "correct" answer.> They tell you there opinion through study of the bible themselfs. Read those sections of the bible and then translate them yourself.Clearly you're not a fundamentalist.> most Marital relationships with 2 people were started because there parents forced them togeatherIn the past, most marriages were arranged. Jesus must have understood that.
-
The one thing i always wondered about... back in the days of jesus, people who wern't married were considered "freaks" if that's what you call it. so... well. you know.
-
I am Jesus!!! Myself and Magnum invented the 7 Deadly Sins!!!!Masturbation is illegal, so says the law of Dribble.
-
that really wasnt neededi dont agree in alot of religionits like you do this and this and your sinning and you will be punished, yeah some things deserve punishment but masterbating really?It is a sin to steal in many religionyou are hurting someone by stealing there possestion, fairenoughIt has been 'thought' that masterbation is a sinWho are you hurting? yourself no, anyone around you no.You get my point? it has been scientificly proven that masterbation is not bad for you it aint gonna kill you lolIf anything Smoking is a sin its like committing suicide real slowok ill shut up now
-
In a way, by masturbating you are hurting yourself. By giving yourself pleasure you are taking away the need for companionship. And I believe the bible suggests that the meaning of life is to worship god, get married, have children and teach them the way of the Lord.
-
I think i speak for myself and most men when i say that id rather have a good women than my hand LOL
-
I know somone here that can debate wether or not ciggaretts are bad for you :P.
Of course smoking should be a sin, it's killed my grandmother and it's going to kill my aunt. However as long as the government is making money off of it will be considered... NoRmAl
accually masturbating is bad for you, your stranglying your penis and therefor your causing sexual incapasatation. :P
-
Again i agree on the base that smokeing should be a sindam gready govements These people Go to war when a terrorist kills 100 people when Smoking wad Blamed for 5 Million Deaths in 2000 yet it continues to happen!
-
You shouldn't blame the government so much for that kind of problem. Tobbaco companies mearly bribe the government with oodles of cash to keep there drug buisness legal, old uncle sam couldn't resist. Also, blame the amish :P they grow tobbaco
-
I know somone here that can debate wether or not ciggaretts are bad for you :PI have no idea who'd argue that. Even the cigarette company executives now publicly admit that they're safe. The qustion is, in the big picture (loss of liberty, cost of enforecemnt, loss of tax revenue, failure of prohition of alcohol and marijuana), would it really be better for the government to make it illegal?I'm not quite sure how this relates to the thread topic, other than the folks in the temperance movement tended to be religious.
-
In reply to: but do you believe in God? Come on, you couldn't guess that one yourself?
-
SteveA mentioned the Onan thing. Some translations of the bible do clearly say something along the lines of 'You shall not spill your seed on unfertile ground'. This is usually taken to mean that when you ejaculate, it must be inside a suitable vessel (a woman's body) for procreation (although Catholic doctrine allows sex without the intent of procreation as long as you don't artificially try to prevent conception). Using this very common interpretation, masturbation is clearly a sin.And no, I'm not religious and I don't think masturbation is a sin. Merely trying to contribute. But really it's a decision that only YOU can make.
-
You know I have always wondered about that scripture. I know ppl who use that and say that no one should masturbate, but what about women? I mean obviously we aren't "spilling our seed on the ground" so that scripture doesn't really cover us. I don't believe masturbation is a sin either.
-
I don't think the bible has much to say about female masturbation or female homosexuality.
-
Lol i was refering to you steve.
-> ciggaretts are not safe and will most likly never BE, they might be safER then they were... lets say 50 years ago. But they still kill THOUSDANDS of people each year.
-> Steve, why is it that you care more about civil rights then human rights? Ever heard of second hand smoke? it kills thousands of people each year just as well. People shouldn't have to avoid and evade, from smokers, or wear gas masks just so somone can slowly kill him/her self and everyone around him/her with toxins. the majority of people DONT SMOKE. and what about the enviorment? all the smog is killing the o-zone!!!!!! (yes that was sarcasim)
Theres no proof god exists, just as there's no proof that god doesn't exist. There are too many unanswered questions in our world to sugjest there's not a greater power out there.
