CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Masturbation!

I'm glad you posted this. I was actually going to post a similar thread. I was lurking around the other forums last night and it broke my heart to read a thread about young men who absolutely shame themselves for doing this. One young man even said his friend's parents put him on severe restriction when they caught him in the act. What do these parents hope to accomplish by punishing their children for doing something that comes so naturally that even babies get a kick out of doing it?

Little babies/infants don't even know what they are doing. Adults and teens know perfectly well and exactly why too. There is no ignorance involved w/ teens and adults.

Birds do it, bees do it, educated MDs do it. Nothing wrong with a little self love.
I'm married and I think that time with yourself is a very good thing.

Not only that, but it assists male fertility by getting rid of 'old' sperm and leaving behind / making way for new, more potent sperm. Christians make such a huge deal about sex and whatnot being specifically for procreation, well Christian guys, if you want to make sure you hit the mark, there you go.

It all depends on who you ask. Most young guys trying to be uber-chrstian will take it as the biggest sin in their life because, well, they do it alot and don't have much else to battle. Most young girls just thinks it's 'yucky' so of course it must be a wrong. But most mature people (christian and otherwise) will shrug it off, realizing that regardless of what you think you are going to do it anyway and it's the obsessing and guilt over that fact that is the real sin.

That's doing a bandwagon. Just because others do something, doesn't mean all of them do and doesn't mean you should or need to.

If masturbation was anything other than a normal human behavior then I'd agree that there's a bandwagon mentality. But you know, when I started masturbating I didn't even know what I was doing and it never occured to me that other people might be doing it too.
I'm a pretty good judge of what I should and need to do with myself and my body and masturbation makes the long list of things that I need to do for myself every once in awhile.

It concerns the Lord and also your spiritual condition. Would you rather go into a road about to be hit and soeoneone tell you or do you just want to be hit because it's no ones business.

Almost getting hit by a car is hardly the same as masturbation.

It is if you go around saying it's okay to do things that go against the Bible to others. Then I have an issue.
