these guys are crazier than a rat in a tin shithouse:

...and just imagine what happens if you jerk off TO alf.

The whole thing is facetious. It's designed to inspire disgust and hate towards Christians by taking a part of what a Christian believes and twisting it into something quite different.

Besides which, his only biblical proof is flawed. God killed Onan not for wanking, but for refusing to impregnate his dead brothers wife, thus providing an heir.

I've not found explicit biblical wording saying 'don't beat off'. Rather, it's implied under the blanket statement of remaining sexually pure. If you're masturbating, you're probably thinking of someone, and Jesus equated that to adultery; an act Christians should abhor.


Some of that site's suggestions for curing masturbation are pretty sick. I'm of the opinion that cutting a little boy is a rather worthless procedure (I'm not going to do it to my kids), but to a girl? C'mon, really now. God made us to enjoy sex, not shirk and scream in indignant panic every time someone thinks of it. At least a cut guy can still feel something when he's doing it, but IIRC don't girls loose most of the nerve endings down there? I seem to remember that being mentioned when reading about some of the more hardcore Islamic practices.

Eh.



I hardly know who Alf is since I never watched the show, so no comment on that.

ok

Alf's an alien who wore sunglasses and ate potato chips on the couch... that's about it, though.

(female circumcision takes place primarily in muslim africa, but the practice is cultural, not religious.)

Yossarian

ok

Thus why I differentiated between your run-of-the-mill muslim and the crazy hardcore skater boyz.

thanks kas that's actually worse. if you'd mentioned some fringe elements dig this type of shit it would be one thing, but basically what you're saying is the more you're down with allah the more you like chopping off the clitoris of little girls?

There is a point at which religion and culture become one -- heartfelt religion changes the way you act, even the way you think.

You can read what I say, or you can read what you want me to say. What you do determines whether or not this is an intelleginet discussion or another flame fest, like usual.

I meant fringe elements.

They certainly must be. I've never heard of them.
