OK you are right that I did go little bit overboard, but let's just go back to the 1st post where OP is actually proudly lying that he doesn't watch pictures of naked women and therefore masturbating because in his mind shaped by this primitive doctrine he thinks we're going to see him as a better person and also that he doesn't have face the "harsh" reality so as in effect where if many Christians behave like invisible man (God) exists, therefore it must exist. So if we all behave like OP doesn't watch porn or masturbate (which 95% of males do and even higher percent among Christians) then he doesn't have to confront the reality. I mean do you really expect any male that considers himself Christian opening topic in which he will admit that he masturbates and watches porn?
The fact is that their teachers in Sunday schools do teach them that masturbation is evil, as is porn and contraception and that creates psychosis in their minds - now would you call that a doctrine? Therefore many Christians males have a very hard time confronting their sexuality like masturbation and sexual fantasies because in their minds they see their guardian angels & dead relatives around them and when they start masturbating or watching porn they feel like they're turning their back on them and dance with the devil himself and even being raped by the devil. And in many Christian males when they do finally confront the reality it has a horrible psychological effect of shame to the point they want to kill themselves, so they even go to anti-masturbation and anti-porn courses where they are again being Sunday Schooled by those primitive doctrine from the Bible.

Therfore don't doubt for a second that if those religious groups got hold of power in US they would be stoning people even for masturbation because that brutal set of rules would finally make them keep their hands off themselves.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
