So people don't feel shame or guilt about their sexuality? I believe that song and dance began in the first chapter of a certain holy book (according to some). Hell, if the bible were a road you couldn't throw a pebble without hitting some derogatory reference to sexuality. It's such a problem, apparently, that attempts have been made to translate it right out of the song of songs, which is, from start to finish, about an illicit love affair. I understand your position, and I agree with you. Masturbation is normal. It is morally neutral. That doesn't mean that this is the position that can be extracted from scripture. Asking a group of believers to side with a position that is contrary to their revealed word is to ask them to expose their religious belief for exactly what it is. Selective interpretation of ambiguity or outright absurdity in text.
