Masturbation a Sin?

Cameron, I would still prefer to just have one Bible. As to having so many seems kind of.. pointless. Especially if they all say the same thing basicly.

 

If that were the case, then we'd all need to learn Latin. It's about the closest thing we can get to the actual words that were used.

 

As much as you think of it that way....Religon, whatever you think fundementally tells you to be a good person and I think following the 'guidelines' of the Bible in general would be beneficial to society. When things get messed up concerning fanatics is when they take the words of the bible (koran, etc) so seriously that they don't think for themselves then thats where we get some close minded translations (about homosexuals, masturbation, etc etc)

 

Than so it be done. If people have the time to cast out others for being different. Than they should sure as hell have time to learn a new language.

Aramaic actually, but there are few who can speak it....

 

Let's all just be satanists like Casey.*



















*= the kind that believe that they're their own god.

 

I am a roman spanish catholic, not all religions are cults.... without christianity the world woundnt be in the state it was today. masturbation is considered a sin by christians, jews and muslims. i don't exactly agree with some of the catholic beliefs, i personally think that people should be allowed to do it, as it is human nature ..... if youve read the old testament or the torah you would no some rules are just ####### wrong and injust.

 

I'm happy being a Wiccan.....

 

I no longer have a interest in religions. I will just live my life to its fullest. I will not say I don't believe in god. But I will not say I do either. I was born to live. And live I shall.

 

Thats right girl! Live on! and party hard when I get there!

 

NO THANKS

 

The kind that believe they are their own god.. I actually pondered about that before. It could be posible. Just think about it. We, as humans, practicly rule the world. But than again, it would sort of ruin the whole evolution thing. But still.. it could be possible.

 

*WITHOUT RELIGION YOU ARE NOTHING * you are saying you were born from nothin and youll die from nothin.....

 

I have a better idea, lets not get this thread close by haveing a religion vs. religion discussion

 

You guys should be thankful to christianity, without christianity you wouldnt live a life you live now.

 

NO THANKS [/b][/quote]
you're a catholic right?




do you know how many people's lives your religion ruined back in the medevial days? Burning people at the stake for not believing what they believe, hanging those who dare challenge the pope, etc.

Your religion is far more wicked than any religion before or after yours came along. If you are a catholic, your religion is worse than Christianity.

 

Steph, it shouldn't be closed. It's not like we're having a arguement. I'm respecting everyones opinon on here. Everyone has different views on religion. For that, this thread shouldn't be closed.

Corrupted, what is nothing anyways? Try to imagine nothing in your head. What do you see? Space? Blackness? Whiteness? It is impossible to see nothing before your eyes. So in a way, nothing doesn't exist. For if I am nothing, I wouldn't be here.

 

READ THAT!

This isn't a thread based on the discussion of religion. SO stop it!

 

Don't make this thread into a flame war.

Why not have a thread where we actually keep our cool for once?

Remember we all come from different places. Let's try to keep that as a first priority when posting in threads like this.

 

Which one are you? Roman Catholic or Christian? Make up your mind.



As for I'd be nothing with Christianity, I don't believe that for one second. I believe in the evolution theory, not that some giant parent figure from billions of miles away in space put me on the planet just so I can die. No sir, I believe I choose my own paths in my life and I don't let some ancient book dictate my life and my choices.



EDIT: Keaton, I'm not flaming if you were talking to me. I just debate harshly
