Picture of the Andromeda Galaxy, with an arrow pointing towards earth. The text for the arrow reads: “YOU ARE HERE”. And the bottom text reads: “AND GOD IS EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR PEE PEE!”
thank you @adhd_traco@piefed.social
if you’re not in public and no one’s around who didn’t consent, then there are literally ZERO negative effects of masturbation.
It is another problem. I did say what God says is for OUR life, for US, not himself.
how does living an entire life filled with guilt, fear, and shame help us?
The life should be with love not things you said, love of God. I think you have understood religion wrong; you think the religion is like a cruel dictator which punishes you if you do something wrong in its opinion. The religion is “I do this because I love God”. If I do something God told me to do, my life will get better; not only my “life”, even my after life. I think I cannot describe better in comments of a lemmy post. This is something we should talk about in a physical meeting.
That sounds real great, till you reach the parts where god will viciously punish you, your family and anyone in the vicinity just because you didn’t do what he told you to do.
If even half the shit in the old testament is true, I would rather have god as an absent father(or ideally nowhere close) then whatever the fuck he was going for.
ok, good. god tells me to jerk off abundantly and frequently
