(July 29, 2017 at 11:02 pm)It_Was_me Wrote: Seems a big aspect of religion, Islam and Christianity is moral policing. You know, don't masturbate, don't watch porn and so on. Why is it these things are considered so bad according to religion? Or at least the Abrahamic ones? I don't see as long as it's not hurting one, then why is it really such a big deal?

For the record, Jesus never said a word about masturbation or porn, and for that matter he never mentioned GLBT's either, and people quickly realised he was something special, not like the snooty priests..Smile
