Picture of the Andromeda Galaxy, with an arrow pointing towards earth. The text for the arrow reads: “YOU ARE HERE”. And the bottom text reads: “AND GOD IS EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR PEE PEE!”

It doesn’t matter for GOD what we do, it is important for us. The rules of the religion is for OUR life not GOD’s.
What religion are you talking about? Because in most of them the God figure cares a great deal about what we do.
The religion tells us what does God say about our living. God says the right way to live is this; the way is best for US and God does not need us to live in the way.
I think you’re intentionally leaving the “or else you’ll be punished for all eternity,” part out.
It’s never just a suggestion with organized religion.
You’re totally right. We should be stoning women to death that show their ankles in public. The whores.
A lot of the early stigmas and taboos about diet, clothing, and hygiene emerged from ritualized practices intended to prevent disease and promote human health. The lack of understanding meant the ritual divorced itself from the real best practices over time. But prohibitions on eating shellfish and chopping off the foreskin of your dick and keeping menstruating women out of the house were ultimately primitive efforts at avoiding food poisoning, curbing the spread of STIs, and managing the bloody mess of periodic period flow.
You mean a woman menstruating in the house makes the milk sour? Any scientific studies proving this? God is just misogynistic old wanker. Fuck him! Hail Satan!
if you’re not in public and no one’s around who didn’t consent, then there are literally ZERO negative effects of masturbation.
It is another problem. I did say what God says is for OUR life, for US, not himself.
how does living an entire life filled with guilt, fear, and shame help us?
The life should be with love not things you said, love of God. I think you have understood religion wrong; you think the religion is like a cruel dictator which punishes you if you do something wrong in its opinion. The religion is “I do this because I love God”. If I do something God told me to do, my life will get better; not only my “life”, even my after life. I think I cannot describe better in comments of a lemmy post. This is something we should talk about in a physical meeting.
That sounds real great, till you reach the parts where god will viciously punish you, your family and anyone in the vicinity just because you didn’t do what he told you to do.
If even half the shit in the old testament is true, I would rather have god as an absent father(or ideally nowhere close) then whatever the fuck he was going for.
ok, good. god tells me to jerk off abundantly and frequently
