Setting aside the ins and outs of sexual morality, the galaxy being very big does not negate the consequences of your behaviors on your immediate neighbors, your peers, or your descendants.
Epstein was a bad dude, despite the vastness of the universe.
The point is if there is a god the dude has bigger concerns. I agree morality exists, but it is an entirely human construct. We’re on our own, there’s no sign that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. So don’t be a dick, but do whatever you want with your own dick so long as it doesn’t impose on others.

The clock-maker is not concerned exclusively with the largest gears.

“God doesn’t care about small things” is the antithesis of Biblical teaching. Both the Old and the New Testaments go through great pains to convey how the most humble individuals in the most basic circumstances still receive Divine Attention.
If you’re arguing with a Christian on these terms, you’re queuing yourself up for an ass kicking. They’ve got much better poetry than a grainy photo of a galaxy that isn’t even the Milky Way, btw.
Sir, we’re talking about masturbation
in the stripped club. straight up “jorking it”. and by “it”, haha, well. let’s justr say. My God.
I genuinely don’t see how religious zealots could possibly believe half the shit they believe unless they truly think space is fake and only the solar system, specifically Earth, exists and matters.
There’s entire branches of theology undermining every major world religion that dedicate themselves to rationalizing the Divine Bureaucracy. “God doesn’t care, because he is big and I am small” is as true as “The American President doesn’t care what I’m up to in Venezuela, because he’s very far away and I’m not that important in the grand scheme of geopolitics”.
What zealots are inclined to believe in is the Angelic Delta Force and its capacity to inflict sudden, horrifying, and indiscriminate violence on the wrong kind of person. If you study the history of Cargo Cults you’ll discover people who experience traumatizing, inexplainable phenomena can often build up superstitious rituals in an effort to control things that are fundamentally beyond their grasp.
It isn’t that “space is fake” nearly so much as “There are things beyond my grasp that bother me, so I’m changing my personal behavior in the vain hope it will protect me from these anxiety-inducing events”.
Generally speaking it rests on “god” or “gods” being beyond our comprehension. The whole “biblically accurate angel” thing isn’t just a meme, it’s best effort attempts at making images of something described in a way that most people nowadays would consider borderline lovecraftian.
So it kinda follows that if those things are supposed to be the approachable messengers, than anything remotely human-like can’t map well to “form” of the god over them.
Biblically there’s already arguments for time not being a thing for the Christian god. If omniscience is truly what it says on the tin, there’s no reason that a being with it couldn’t care about what every creature in the universe is doing with their respective reproductive bits.
God is the intrusive thoughts telling you to stick your pee pee into industrial machinery
that pickle slicing bitch had it coming!
Sometimes I like to think that the reason a god isn’t around to help fix things is that they are constantly seeding new civilizations around the universe, and ours just didn’t work out.
Well I’m extremely concerned with what I do with my peepee, so it makes sense the creator of the universe should be, too. I’m not a narcissist, btw.
Me: doing my thing
God, visibly sweating and white-knuckling his desk as he watches on the computer monitor: No, no! Stop! Don’t stretch it like that! I didn’t design the desmosomes to last under that kind of pressure! Oh goooooood, stoooooop! Not the ammo box!
things are so fucked up that i bought a 300mm aperture telescope, so i can look at deep sky objects and tell myself “at least we’re insignificant”
Jesus is coming!
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!”
That couldn’t be a picture of Andromeda though, since that is not the perspective you get from our galaxy. Andromeda is facing us more with the edge than being broadside like in this image.
I’m not complaining though. Thanks for including the alt-text!
Thanks for the correction :) glad there are space nerds.
I’m guessing it’s an image of some other galaxy then right? So the arrow is pointing to some alien planet and is actually an alien meme leaking to planet earth?
The comments are disgusting me dude
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.
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.

If he didn’t want me touching it, he shouldn’t have given it to me. Kinda his fault I whack it.

Or at least he would have made it less convenient to touch with your hands, like placing it in the middle of your back or something

The only place I can’t reach on my body is my right shoulder blade. God should’ve put my genitals there.
