Dr. James Dobson

Recently posted something very offensive in my opinion.

Breakaway magazine is designed to give Christian teens safe, Bibilical answers on girls, dating, music, and any questions.  A guy wrote something on self-pleasure (masturbation).  He asked for help and wanted to know what he could do to stop.  You know what they said in response?

Pretty much:

When you're married, you'll have a healthy life with your wife, but until then, what's a guy to do?

In my opinion, it's not that big a deal with God. 

I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

What kind of Biblically based answer is THAT?!  I really look up to him a lot, but this is one area I disagree with.  Our bodies are the temples of God.  If a man lusts a woman in his heart, he has commited adultery.  Is adultery in the temple of God regularly not that big a deal with God.  And when a guy tries to stop, he just says, "Don't worry about it.  It's all right."  Is this offensive to any other Christians? 

Moderators, I understand that this is a very serious topic and is very contraversial.  It is a mature topic, which can be offensive to some.  Please edit this if you find anything wrong in any way.

No, but the author quoted something from his book, "Preparing for Adolescence."
