Originally posted by sonhouse 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.
Religions are anti-pleasure huh? Sure are a lot of us alive today because apparently our ancestors didn't think so. Whole lot of "creatin'" going on for it all to be a sin.
Originally posted by CLL53 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.

There 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.

Well, 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.

They 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.

did jesus masturbate or have sexual thoughts? if he was hetrosexual he must of had thoughts of that nature or we wouldnt be able to define his sexual orientation. which leads me to wonder, what got jesus off? my guess would be being a bdsm slave, as is common with men in stressful, powerful jobs. the turin shroud was probably his gimp mask.

I'm sure he had plenty of groupies available regardless of his sexual orientation.
