You all say your not Christians, yet you all talk like you are. I don't understand.....
When did I say that? I said that ShadowBrain wasn't a Christian, but he agrees with me because the issue can be viewed from both a secular and religious perspective. Even though the two of us look at it differently, we both came to the conclusion that lust is a bad thing. I am a Christian and you are a Christian, therefore, I communicated to you by appealing to your Christian morale. If you don't want me to do that, ask someone who is not a Christian on why lust is bad.
Here, maybe I'm using too many complicated words and phrases. Try this, MJ:
Secular perspective: This is how someone like ShadowBrain might view lust: "Lust is bad because it can lead to rape. It can also, over time, disconnect the person who is lusting from reality. To stop lusting, go to a help center or find other activities to do. Playing a football game, lifting weights, drawing, writing...these are all activities that can help you get your mind off lusting."
I am not very good at trying to help you with your lust through the secular perspective because I do not view the world in that way. You wouldn't know it just by speaking to me over the forum, but I wasn't very confident when I offered the secular advice. This is because I am religious and know how to deliver advice on lust through a religious perspective. You also see things from a religious perspective because you are Christian. If you are not (don't worry, I don't think you are lying), ask someone who isn't religious for help. They can help you over come your lust by offering secular advice.Religious perspective: This is how someone like CrossEyed7 might view lust: "Lust is bad because it fulfills selfish and sinful desires; it serves to benefit no one but yourself. It can also cause you to bring harm to your fellow neighbor, and it disconnects you from the good in the world, and ultimately, God. To stop lusting, think about the Christian moral code you are supposed to uphold. If that still doesn't work, pray about it or go to church and ask for help."
This is the best way I can help you because I see things through a religious perspective. Even though I suggested that you find secular advice, that in no way suggests that I am not Christian. I did that to differentiate between the two types of ways that can influence you to stop lusting. Because you are a Christian, I did my best to aid you through religious means.
I just had to elaborate on this because you questioned whether or not ShadowBrain, who agreed with my conclusion, was a Christian.That was even more perverted then anything I have ever wrote.
Boo Dudely was just joking. He does not think that you should be castrated. You, on the other hand, have openly admitted that you never kid about lusting after a woman's body. Yes, it's disgusting when you post about castrating another member (I don't know if I should laugh), but it's even more disgusting when you actually mean what you say about sex.
I'm just trying to help you. I've seen a lot of Christians claim they are faithful and then practice something that goes against their moral code.
