Why Lust is bad, not gonna use "sin" reason but logical reason

Why Lust is bad, not gonna use "sin" reason but logical reason
To be fair there are terrible answers for this, so in a generation of pornography i can understand why religious people or some people who aren't strong enough would just go for it. But i actually found the answer not long ago, and its incredible how easy it is. Basically it is a sin yes, but... logically i will use the bible and real life to explain why it is bad and its a argument. You may not agree with the conclusion but here it is.


Like i know in the bible that women usually exploit for values from men. It basically is saying male who is stupid to fall for it is likely to be poor, i mean lets take the story of Samson and Delilah for example, what do you think happens when he gets betrayed? Nothing, people dont care about him only god does, so what it says. Focus on something important or of value, if you focus on sensual stuff or that stuff you will likely make mistakes and basically it'll betray you

In either case the point is it draws away from doing something important, thats more or less the point.

I mean if Shadow in the game Shadow the Hedgehog was focusing on masturbating rather than finding a purpose, it would just be weird and furries would somehow love it for some reason

But men arent guiltless from this either. Because i think in Luke men who went into the whore house was seen as bad by one of the sons in the story of prodial son, i think he was talked down against. In either case the point is, men shouldnt be stupid, moral lesson for men.
You can find all sorts of biblical stuff, Eve gets apple from the snake, she eats it, gives it to Adam, Adam gets tricked. And there you go. Now you may explain cant men be exploitive too. Yes but woman has got nothing to lose, they are beautiful already, if a guy did something nobody would care what happend to him he is most likely useless because men arent useful other than giving to women, women are already beatiful so they can just use that to get men. So i wouldnt say this is a guy thing only, its just the biological and situation differences between genders.

so its better to just ignore, or if people try to trick you, just be you and do your best in life of your value. And there you go
beauty and stuff, doesnt matter. Do your best.

Or i think its easier to understand if you see this by standup comedian bill burr, thats why lust is bad, you basically lose your self value, and letting beauty trick you. Like sensual, real people. Same deal.

The fact that you are using the bible at all is reason enough for me to discount your argument.

Sure, some people use sexual urges to trick people. Why does that make lust, in general, bad? Life isn't black and white; it's not either/or.

You have to still use your head and not just think with your genitals.

I lust after huge numbers of women. I enjoy the feeling. It never leads me to "do" anything, because I'm married.

So sure, just like all our urges, we need to be on the lookout for when it may end up harming us. But trying to deny or suppress our natural thoughts can also be very harmful.

Theists think only a belief in god can suppress those urges. It's a wonder they can wipe their own asses without god lending a hand.

I find that religious belief just makes everything really fucked up, you know?

Of course we lust, that's how we evolved. It's just how things are.

But suddenly, instead, we were designed to lust and then expected to suppress it. This is some sick mad scientist shit.

I've heard it said before that religion uses sexual subjects to control people because it's one of the most primal urges. If you can make people ashamed of themselves, and feel they need to be "fixed", you can sell them the cure.

I love how Don Baker puts it too:

I wouldn't base much of anything on the Samson and Delilah tale in the Bible. The story was lifted from another culture and stuffed in the OT, if someone today is going to cite it without mentioning the pedigree of the story, it reflects quite poorly then, doesn't it ?

My disappoint . . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Sexual degenerates is just as bad as overprotective people. I am more in favour of learning from mistakes. Prodigal son is one of them.

In either way a study shows people who have sex too much are more depressed than people who have less. There is a reason for why the bible says "Abusers of man kind" this is more a case of psychological abuse, consent or not it has the same effect when not feeling loved but used, even if you are married or not. If anything you guys have been fooled by marxist leader Herbert Marcuse being the founder of sexual revolution or liberation. More people are getting obese and lazy compared to people in the 50s.
