My parents didn't bring me up to value or worship any god. I am starting to try to become more religious but it isn't an easy job to incorporate god into your everyday life when he wasn't a part of it for most of your life. To make matters worse I also view pornography and still live with a family member. Therefore I feel like a masturbating porn using loser who is a disgrace to the god who gave him life. I have asked for god to help me stop viewing porn but for some reason it does nothing. I only have one good friend and she and my whole family would be ashamed of me if they realized I viewed porn. I started contesting the revelations part of the bible as being false mainly because I am petrified of it and despite all the evidence my religious maternal grandfather refuses to listen and looks for any reason to proof me wrong. So I am alone in my dirty guilty pleasure and in my beliefs.
father, i have been viewing an excess amount of pr0n lately please forgive me for i am a fucking sinner!!!!!!!!!!!!
Becoming religious is the worse thing you can do. Being spiritual is a good thing. You are smart, because you acknowledge there is a creator. Saying the universe magically put itself together, is like saying computers put themselves together. The bible is training wheels, and you will eventually witness the creator reveal himself to you, when you least expect it. He loves you, and is understanding of what you do. As long as you try to do good, he knows that. Don't sweat it. I use to masturbate 10 times a day, sometimes more. The creator spoke to my inner self and revealed to me, that I was trying to fill a hole within myself. Then I stopped. I am lucky to masturbate once or twice per month now. You're going to be fine.
There are millions out there who have had God in their lives and still feel guilty about this and that. You are not alone.
How close-minded do you have to be to make such a statement. There is nothing wrong in becoming religious. I really dislike the word ''spiritual''. It's like everyone gets to create a religion of their own with rules that suit them. New age crap.
How intolerant do you have to be, to try and deny one's sentience. This is not your world, people believe and act different than you. You call me close-minded. Pfft. What words you "dislike" don't matter to me.
If the guy wants to include religion and God in his life, who are you to tell him that it's the worst thing to do....Like it's a fact.
Obviously watching porn leaves him with guilt, so yeah, there's clearly something wrong with it. It's soulless.
There's a difference guy, I'm not forcing it on him, neither did I bash him, like you did me. Nor did I tell him not to pursue God, plus I am not going around killing under the flag of Christianity or Islam. How is me saying "Becoming religious is the worse thing you can do. Being spiritual is a good thing." Any different than you saying, "You have to accept Jesus Christ as your God and savior, or you're going to hell?" You are a hypocrite, and what the bible referred to as a Pharisee. Do you have the gospel armor on, armed with the sword of righteousness, ready to wage a war against me?
I jack off without porn, does that make me any less of a godless heathen than you? No, no it doesn't. Cause I still bust a nut. I'm spiritual and believe in "God" but it isn't anything anyone else says god is. I'm not even sure if its a being but more of a spiritual connection/mutual consciousness between all things. If there is a judgemental God, I believe everyone is selfish and God understands that you have certain needs, things you gotta do to be happy. If God and heaven and hell exist, and if he were that strict, heaven would only have a few hundred or thousand people while hell has billions, which doesn't make sense. Why would a benevolent being "create" us and then sentence the vast majority of us to eternal suffering?
Get a good dose of the eastern "philosophies". All the perks of religion, without any of the chains.. complete freedom. I think there are enough chains in the physical world, so give yourself a break and look out the window - "God" stares back. At the end of day, your mind is the the only place other people can't see(to an extent) so tailor things for yourself, nobodies gonna know you worship a 3 legged jaffa cake unless you tell them. Wank all you want, you're not killing or harming anyone - so why feel guilty? Because someone thought up this being that's always around us, always watching us, waiting for us to slip up so he can force us to burn for all eternity unless we say, "Sorry, I just got a little bit horny..". I don't understand how a religion like that caught on like it has, that's a very very harsh punishment for 20 minutes of harmless fun.
