Religion has a role, even for non believers

I'm not making the argument that all churches are equal. Nor am I saying that you can't worship God without a church.

What I am saying is that a lot of things that have been taught in churches for the past thousand years have tremendous value. Typically church go-ers hear the errors of their ways more frequently than if they hadn't gone. A good example of this is the denunciation of viewing pornography. In a nutshell; porn gets you less sex and lackluster sex. Porn has been denounced by church leaders for thousand of years but it hasn't been until recently that psycologists have found a negative link between porn and sexual wellness. All the while liberal society has been telling young boys to vedge out on porn like it's a healthy source of recreation.

On the other hand, where I think a lot of young men get turned off by religion (among other things) is over zealous preaching of sex. I.E Jesus says "don't look on another woman to lust after her," and someone wrongfully takes that to "sex is bad and boners are bad and good looking women are bad and having a lot of sex with your wife is bad or having sex without the thought of having kids is bad" etc etc.

But in today's world, many young men aren't hearing both sides of morality at home, definitely not hearing it at school, and unfortunately not hearing it at church because they don't go. Traditionally churches have taught morals and it's been up to the hearer to follow or not.

I have more thoughts on all this but will continue tomorrow. Would like to see what some of you think about this.

Where is the scientific evidence for your claim of a negative link between porn and sexual wellness? I will eagerly await your response so that I can educate myself on the matter.

Problem here OP us that you are picking and choosing pieces of dogma as good and bad to make your point. Pornography and immoral sex both stem from lust and is therein condemned because of the obvious sin.

It would be like saying "communism was bad except for the dogma about stealing from the rich". Nah dude, it was all intersectional , as was sexual immorality in Christianity and friends.

For the record I masturbate to Sasha grey and friends at 3:44 every day on the dot

Addendum: Forgot to add that I also fuck S.G. IRL daily in order to maintain my sexuality on both fronts.

Christianity, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, and Hinduism all have merits

Other religions are dog shit. Honorable mention to my people the Baha’is

*nods*

Dont forget Daoism.

Nor the worth of how Islam teaches you to put your women in trash bags to make you gay

Bristlebaneism is the wisdom. The path of transcendence is achieved through Mischief, friends. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When trying to improve our sexual wellness, we should listen to religious leaders, for they know best

Catholic / Christian Canon that Jesus died for our sins including future ones

So if you don't sin he died for nothing

So buy a family size bottle of lotion and get to fappin to some weird fetishes ppl
