Religions are anti pleasure, plain and simple. If you are getting some kind of pleasure out of anything physical, you are going against the so-called god.
Since we are born into sin, according to theists, we should be living a life of pain, unless of course you spend 24 hours a day praying to your non-existent god.

I beg to differ. There may be some positive statistical correlation between the frequency of choking the chicken (frequency being both how often and the sound aspect) and the number of guys going deaf.
Obviously he hasn't done it enough to go blind, if he can post here.
I can hear a pin drop from a mile away.
Originally posted by CLL53There are variants on christianity where husband and wife have to sleep with a barrier between them and only engage in coitus on certain days when she is likely to be fertile. There is a definite anti pleasure code in a lot of abrahamic religions.

Originally posted by sonhouseWell, the "Shakers" were a variant of Christianity once too. Ever hear of them? They deemed that sex was wrong completely. Their variant has been extinct now for about 200 years. They didn't think through that no sex means no more Shakers.

Originally posted by CLL53They were certainly one of the more bizarre bunch floating around, apparently there are still a few, like 5 or 6, left. They added to their population by taking in orphans and foregoing reproduction. An odd belief indeed. But the entire edifice of abrahamic religions are a strange bunch. Billions of people believing in their gods can in fact 100% be wrong.

Serious question: Is masterbation really a bad thing?
Edit: Decided to edit out the funny JW video link. PM me if you want it.
