I don't get it :?

I think it's about religion vs science

I still don't get it.

It is. But comedy is like a frog.

Holy shit, how could you possibly not get this?

Jesus is telling me not to masturbate because Earth is insignificant? Seems legit

I guess the real question is if he can masturbate over creating the universe whats the guy that created him doing?

Where does Jesus say don't masturbate? I really just don't get his.

Must've been in Judas' forgotten gospel that the Nicene council rejected ;)

I guess so, but from what I understand it was very similar to the other gospels and the main difference was that it included Jesus's forgiveness of him - but I will be frank and state I have not studied it and am just talking from general knowledge.

Me neither, I've never found a reliable copy. But to be honest, I stopped doing those courses a few years ago... I do a bit of reading on it and early Church history every now and again, but generally lost interest and motivation

Rookie double post.

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that jeveryone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell."
- Matthew 5:27-30

Can you bolden the part that says you can't masturbate, I don't have my contacts in ;)

What do you think about when you masturbate, Farrand93?

Someone sig that please! :lol:

In all seriousness though. I think he is simply condemning lust, he never says don't shake it 3 times.

Therefore, if someone was to think of/ look at a fridge and masturbate, that would be okay. Whether its impossible to separate lust from the act, I don't know, but that would seem like the only possible way...

I'm not 100% sure on that, but that's my understanding.

Ray Comfort is very disappointed with you and your eternally damned soul.

:lol: Ray Comfort

Still can't believe he challenged Dawkins, that would have ended about as well as the Pell/Dawkins debate :lol:

I think it means Jesus is a tall motherfucker.

It is actually simpler than that, don't engage in deep and undivided lustful desire of the wife of another man.

Sorry afro that is not a good example. Before you go searching that story is the one that is used in the other Gospels as well. The language used in the writing is actually the same as that used when talking about coveting. It is not condemning desire, it is condemning immoral desire.

So lusting after a married woman is bad, but having a toss thinking about a single woman would be OK?
Just checking.

Nope, because she will probably be someone's wife one day... And you'll be someone else's husband one day, so that shit aint on ;)

I am going to take this literally and masturbate with my left hand only...

Why turn this into a religious thing anyway? I thought the diagrams were brilliant and a great representation of Earth's real significance in the universe. If anything it had me thinking more in terms of whether or not there is life on other planets. That's far more interesting.

Notor, great diagrams, wrong conclusion.

Seems to me, especially these days, that there is every posibility she may never be someones wife. I don't see how it can be necessary to predict the future in this.

I agree. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to defend that particular view, I'm just stating it.
I'm not sure how that conclusion is drawn biblically but it certainly has been by the more conservative amongst the Christian tradition.

Not sure that's how the Uniting Church would see it, I'm not really familiar with how they see this kind of stuff.

Because it's funny, and even funnier in the context that it's presented.

And yes, the diagrams are a brilliant representation of the sheer massiveness of the observable universe, and there's not much reason to believe that what we can observe is anything more than a drop in a universe bigger than our puny minds could ever fathom.
