Masturbation while thinking about God.

Post #1

Post by methylatedghosts »

This came up in a discussion I had today. The question was:

If you are thinking about God while masturbating, is it ok?

This hasn't really been thought out very well, but it'll get the ball rolling

God = Love
According to Christian thought, one is supposed to only have sex with one you love, and loves you (or around about that).
Now, because God = Love, he can only love you.
Christianity tell us to strive for a special relationship with God.
Marriage is a special relationship with another human being in which you can have a sex.


So, God = love, therefore God can't do anything but love you.
If you love God, and have a special relationship with him - as christianity is so eager for us to do, you are therefore, able to have sex with God, if you so wished. Because that is not physically possible (human being physical, God being non-physical), masturbation with God on your mind is as close as you can get. So, I conclude, that masturbation while thinking about God is A-OK.

Go on, pick some holes if you like - I know I haven't done well. I want to generate a few responses.
Ye are Gods

masturbation while thinking about God not sinning according to scripture, The word sin literally means to "miss the mark" or to lose connection with God. Masturbation is a gateway practice that often leads to lusting. So if your masturbating while thinking about God you are not sinning

I just tend to think they would have an unhealthy libido.
It would be like thinking about baseball to slow you down.

Are you kidding? Is this what the sexual xenophobia so characteristic of humanity has come to?

This is a strange topic. I don't see why on earth masturbation would be thought of as a sin since I'm sure people have done it since cave times and it is completely natural. The idea that you would be sent to hell because you masturbate is utterly ridiculous.

And if God really thinks that it is a sin, then I don't think it would make any difference in his eyes if you were thinking about him or not.

Sure its ok. It is a well known fact in the human and animal kingdom that an organism is naturally atracted to the most powerful organism in its midst. I will use a lioness as an example. When a lioness chooses her mate, she looks for the strongest male with the most territory in his possesion. This ensures that the lioness will be well protected from unwanted males, have lots of territory, and her cubs will have a strong bloodline.

The same is true for humans. We naturally want to hump the most powerful being we can. So if god is the most powerful thing to you, then the closest thing to humping him would be to wackoff with him in your mind.

Hey you saucy thing

Well, your suppose to have reverance for God, and religion. Thats the whole point. To organized religion. Otherwise we would be living in anarchy and being totally free thinkers and do-oers. However if no one is watching and you fancy your chances. You only live once.

I think two sentences does not do this topic justice.

If you conduct sexual fantasies in private for a hedonistic purpose. then beware because this is an additive habbit. eventually you will be craving more and more excitement. You could become a sexual deviant. However if its a choice of whacking one off whilst thinking about God. then i would say its better than molesting children. But the mentality is still the same. Its forbidden fruit.

However, the bible in the 13 century was written in porno books

And even before that it was...seriously :shock:

Ok... but I have yet to hear of a lioness trying for something outside her species.

How would it be going outside of the species? Does the Bible not say that man is made in the image of god?

Also, just because you have never seen the act or the offspring of an interspecies breeding, does not mean it does not happen.

I'm sorry, but saying we are in the same species of God is ridiculous. How can mortal and immortal beings be in the same species?

I am aware that interspecies breeding does occur. (isn't that how we get mules?)

But you used the example of a lioness and lions. Your analogy to humans and God is not supported by the example you gave. Furthermore, the difference between us and God is much more than us and anything on this earth.
