Reading too much fanfiction can be bad for you?

That's because you stopped; you need to do it at least three or four times a day every day to keep him quiet. You'll know it's enough when it starts getting physically painful to do.

[fark]You sound single.[/fark]

More seriously ...

It's pretty rare to meet an adult so completely uninterested in sex that they wouldn't at least consider, if only for a brief moment, having sex with an adult of their preferred gender* who expressed interest in them.

* Twin sister's husband is gay. She has to pretend to be a guy for a week beforehand. She can do that almost flawlessly while topless and wearing nothing but a speedo and some "padding" despite having knee-length hime hair. Watching her get called "sir" in that outfit is a sight to behold and absolutely hilarious.

Celibacy isn't natural. In the back of our brains a tiny little voice starts yelling "get laid ASAP" the moment we hit puberty and that voice will never shut up.

That is why you need Jesus help to live in celibacy,otherwise it not work.And that is why modern catholic church is going down - we forget,that Jesus is on first place,try made church into helping agency - and people are failing,becouse they forget about true reason of church existence.

That can't be healthy.

Considering the fact that I'm still a virgin at 37, and an agnostic theist to boot; I call bullshit on that one.

That can't be healthy.

I've had a doctor take a look at my genitals (initially for a small bump on my testicles, that thankfully turned out to just be a non-cancer related cyst); they said they look perfectly healthy, and I've been doing this since I was in early grade school.

Without masturbating.If you masturbate,it is not celibacy,becouse you had sex but with yourself.

I can't really find fault with him for deciding that he doesn't want to be a priest any longer and resigning.

That celibacy vow isn't natural and the gal is very good looking. She also writes kinky things. If I wasn't married I'd be tempted to ask her about the kinds of X-rated things she'd be willing to do with me.

Paraguay had an ex cardinal become president for this very reason. Granted he was defrosted for having an illegitimate daughter while being a cardinal.

...well a hundred of them but he only recognizes one so it gets reported as such.

Basically this has happened before.

Off the top of my head three of the teachers I had while growing up and attending Catholic schools left religious orders to get married.

And then there's the nun who taught religion classes and sex-ed. She wasn't always a nun and it's entirely possible one of the infants she gave up for adoption is my aunt or uncle.

Normal.You could not hold celibacy if you treat it as part of helping people,becouse you could have help people without it.
Only for those who tread Jesus as real GOD celibacy is possible.

Sounds needlessly restrictive to me; but to each their own, I suppose. I just don't see the point in going that far.

I thought Jesus was the son of god, not a god in his own right. Doesn't that kind of spit in the face of the whole idea of monotheism?

Talked to my parents to see what they had to say and to make sure I was remembering things right before replying.

- One wasn't good looking and joined a convent because she didn't think any guy would ever be interested in her.
- One was an abused runaway who had nowhere else to go but a convent.
- One was basically told by his parents that he was joining the priesthood ... or else.

The nun was a former prostitute with no real education or useful skills aside from "I have girl bits, don't look ugly, and know how to fuck." when the police arrested her.

Mom also mentioned another nun. She hated that nun because the nun had made it her personal mission to be as mean and cruel to the boys she was teaching as she could get away with.

Dad got rid of her by telling the local bishop that he'd pay for the church's renovations if that nun was sent to a convent far away from children.

You know, if you're this ignorant of Christian doctrine, you might want to ask questions in a less adversarial way.

1.sex is sex,no matter with whom

Way back in the day monasteries and convents were where excess children and orphans got sent. A lot of them basically said "this ain't for me" and ran away when puberty hit.

The good nun? She agreed to marry to my grandmothers'* older brother a few days before he was killed in a car accident.

* They were identical twins.

It's not healthy. I've found that the more I've abstained from it and explicit content, the healthier I've become in multiple areas of life, especially in my romantic and non-romantic relationships.

this is to blanket to pass up.

Reject biology Return to eunuch

the virgin celibate vs the chad eunuch

i've got a couple of more but I'll leave it here. and yes I do play CK2 thanks for noticing. On a more serious note, you'd think with all of the talk of sexual scandal, becoming a eunuch would be a requirement for becoming a catholic priest.

If you're going that route and "want to be absolutely sure" you should have everything removed and your urethra re-routed so you can pee without making a mess.

the concept of the trinity is a bit of a complicated concept if you don't take it for granted and accept it at face value. The best way I've heard it described is thinking of the trinity as an overall unit. Jehovah: The Father and the essentially the head of the unit, Jesus: The Son and the word whom while could have been on equal terms with God *(Because he was a part of him) chose not to be and instead gave himself as a sacrificial offering for man's sin, and Holy Spirt, the breath of transfiguration that works through us to help understand God's word.

Imagine if you had 3 jobs, Mangerer, Fry cook and bookkeeper and somehow you could split yourself into those 3 parts at the same time. I'm probably not explaining this well, it's one of those things were we are dealing with somthing dar more complex than a human and we don't even know the full ends and outs of how human's work.

It's not healthy. I've found that the more I've abstained from it and explicit content, the healthier I've become in multiple areas of life, especially in my romantic and non-romantic relationships.

Meanwhile, I never noticed much of a difference when I abstained, even for several weeks at a time; aside from my libido increasing (which I just found distracting and annoying), and the act becoming more pleasurable when I start doing it again.

You know, if you're this ignorant of Christian doctrine, you might want to ask questions in a less adversarial way.

I'm not ignorant of Christian doctrine; just which particular variety he happens to ascribe to. Because there are many, many different denominations out there; and even those under the umbrella of the Church itself can hold different beliefs from each other.

As for me being adversarial; that's the point. I disagree with what he's saying, and I'm pointing out what I consider to be holes in his logic.

1.sex is sex,no matter with whom

That's one interpretation, I suppose; just not one I happen to agree with. Sexual intercourse, in my mind, requires the involvement of at least two distinct individuals; not just one individual alone.

2.Jesus IS BOTH God and son of God.Becouse we christian belive in Trinity - One God who is both God,Jesus his son,and Holy Spirit.Everybody knew that.

Except many Christians would disagree with you. Remember; yours is not a unified religion, where everyone believes the same things. Some would consider the idea the Jesus is God himself to be blasphemous; though I'm sure you would contend that it is them who are blasphemers, and not "true believers", like yourself.

I am well aware of how complicated the subject of the true nature of the Trinity can get; Christians have been feuding with each other over having different interpretations on it since Constantine established the Church.

You're really just digging yourself in further here.

There are many doctrinal conflicts about many different things, but the existence of the Trinity is not one of them. I'm sure there's tiny cults somewhere that don't believe in it, but Catholics, Orthodox, Coptics, Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists, etc, etc, all agree on the existence of the trinity.

As well as basically every single core doctrinal issue, except the authority of the church/clergy, and that disagreement is pretty much just with the Catholics.

Doctrinal disagreements among Christians, in general, are over things like immersion vs sprinkling baptism, whether or not women should join the clergy, what elements should be part of a church service/mass, etc, etc. I suppose there is the Calvinism/non-Calvinism split, which is pretty serious, but that's not actually along denominational lines.

Now, if you consider Mormons or Jehovah's Witness' to be 'christian' then you could say there's major doctrinal clash, but I don't think Mormons generally call themselves christian, and Jehova's Witnesses don't, last I checked, so yeah.
