Masturbation: Right or Wrong?

[Immortality]

the Bible is the words of God (or thats at least what 52%+ of the world believes), so to state things to be sin or not through it would seem to be the most accurate.

everything reduces risk for cancer these days lol


(rofl at post below)

First off, nobody cares about the 52% of Christians (and ALL of your statistics that you post about your rants in a pathetic attempt to prove your accuracy and correctness) who may or may NOT (take that into consideration) follow the bible.

Also, it is actually VERY inaccurate to say that because only 52% (a little over half) of the world believes the bible is the words of God, and therefore the bible has the power to decide whether or not something is a sin.

And to simplify the 52% for you, that is basically a 50/50 (one-half) chance.

So nice point there, Pyro. Half of your sins are statistically wrong.

Once again, intelligence eludes you.

lol you hate me, your first decent reply though...ur getting better
its an opinion of mine. But what, besides the Bible, defines "sin".
If your not religious, why would the word sin even come up....if theres no heaven or hell who cares right?
This is why when we define sin, it is through religion...because sin and religion are related. Basically with the little statistic of "52%" im saying that the Bible/ Quran is the most followed book in the world....so why not derive sin from it.

Heres something to get you thinking deeper:
whats the difference between sin and societies "right and wrong"

society says abortion is ok, many will agree...but its still a sin.


and the reason i use these "statistics" is because atheists turn there head when a religious person starts to quote things from the Bible. I dont know very much about the Bible, and it is rare that i quote it in my debates....i try to use things that everyone can relate to, facts and logic. If 99% of the world were Christians, does that mean its the correct? not necessary. None of my statistics prove anything, but there just things to persuade my opinion. And the fact in my sig is just a interesting statistic...i always thought there were more non religious people then there are religious (little did i know 8/10 people are religious....it sure doesnt seem like that when i go to college).

Following The Ace's opinion, as Pyro 214, where the hell in the bible does it speak out against masturbation? The Catholics do not have a problem with it, I dont know where you get your information, Masturbation is not a sin, because it is kept to ones self, but people who do not have self control results into rape, kidnapping etc. In conclusion.

Its not a sin.

The catholic church dous deem it as a sin (i learned it in religion class) and it was in a catholic book.

i dont think it is wrong but i dont think discussion of this is allowed

 

[otsus]

Never believe anything you read from bible.

The Bible is the most worthless book ever.

 

[dragon666]

all guys masturbate from the age of 12-14 untill they are in a sexual relationship

 

[Asianboii]

That is a good question. I would think that it is good somtimes and sometimes bad. lol

 

[sire haxor]

how dare u insult christans?

 

[Vera]

Nothing wrong with it.

 

[Rukia]

The Bible has contradictions, many things have been lost in translation, and many things have been edited (or outright removed) by kings of old. It'd be a mistake to live your life by the word alone.
The Bible also fails to explicitly deem the law of Moses to be expired. So are you saying that we should still be sacrificing animals and practicing all the "eye for an eye" laws that the Bible so clearly tells us to?

That doesn't disprove anything. That only succeeds in proving many other things to be wrong.

Well... I believe it still applies.
Perhaps the second coming is to occur when the Earth is full and it's resources are empty.
Else we all die, thereby proving Christianity as a whole to be wrong... and putting an end to our worthless existence. lol

Actually, Cruel, the Bible DOES explicitly say that the old law is no more.

Think Jesus. He says a few things which imply that things have changed.

 

[robeike]

I think,their is nothing wrong whit it!
If you don't do it you could get prostate cancer or something like that.But if you have a wife or a girlfriend then i prefer to...(think it yourself )
Many people do this so why should it be wrong it is totally private

 

[3 Hit Kay Oh]

I'm not christian.. soo..

 

[the_wippit]

haha well like i said before, i think its rong...but were humans we have needs ffs

Jesus had a wife. That Jesus didn't have sex and so on was made up by church later on. (No offence to christians).

 

[robeike]

if it was forbidden to have sex,then we all should not exist!
so yea maybe the church just lied about it...why?
i'm a christian and never heard of it :d

 

[jeffm4688]

but it can be wrong in some ways. IE: you look at underage women or u don't keep it 2 urself.

Yeah, making it implicit.

-Not proven
-Not relevant
-Wouldn't change anything about Christianity

 

[Wilfred]

Hmm..Well I personaly think it's OK but in Christianity it might not be because it is considered wasting life(That's why I think contraception is also not allowed).
