(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?

 Why is porn bad, because of the sex slave trade, because of the sexual abuse of underage children, because of the spread of STD's, need I go on.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
