Do you really think that life is a disease, tantamount to death? So then (it would follow that) the good that is life is no better than the evil that is death:
good = life = death = evil;
Therefore, good = evil?
Or maybe you think that death is BETTER than life? In that case, Adolph Hitler is more of a good person and "saint" than Mother Teresa of Calcutta. After all, he destroyed many evils (murdering many human beings, ending evil lives), while Mother Teresa not only committed many, many evils (saving human lives, which I suppose only for argument's sake, were evils), but she "perversely" went further, and sacrificed her time on earth (by being celibate, not having any sex at all - as I and others believe) and lived in poverty, putting up with all sorts of inconveniences, just so she could do these multiple evils (of saving thousands of human lives, which she, although dead, continues to do through the followers she inspired).
But you don't really think that life is a disease, hardly better than death, do you?
And you don't really believe that good and evil are the same, do you?
And you don't really believe that Adolph Hitler was good and Mother Teresa evil, do you?
Life is much more peaceful when we control our peckers and these members don't control us. At the very least, we don't tire ourselves with all these "mental calisthenics".
Chastity makes for clear thinking, but the virtue of chastity (of abstaining from sex outside of marriage and only employing it for the purpose of forming a family) is only achieved and maintained by much prayer to Jesus Christ. No other way! Chastity is a superhuman virtue and only the strong in Christ achieve it, and then, barely.
On the other hand, if we are not chaste, we let our libido go on "auto pilot", and the babies are eventually conceived. What's going to happen to them? Will they be aborted? Will they be born to a father and mother who loves them? (Every human being has the natural right to be born to a father and mother who loves, cares and provides for him/her. Who dares to deprive the person of this right? Does the pleasure of a one night stand justify depriving the child of this elementary right?) For the sake of our sexual release, is it right to let a child be born almost literally on the street, to become street urchins, raised by gangs and criminals, destined to delinquency from the womb? And what will our society become when filled with such delinquents? An inhuman jungle where life isn't valued as anything.
And what solution would you propose to resolve these problems consequent on unbridled, irresponsible parents enslaved to their lusts? Would you propose abortion as an easy elimination of the"problems"? Would you suggest birth control rather than self control? But that's like refusing to be toilet trained. We should control/discipline our bodies, they should not enslave us. I said it elsewhere in one of the replies: Am I to be a man with a pecker or a pecker with a man stuck to the back of it, dragged behind it as it pants like a rabid dog for pussy cat? That's an adequate picture of many a young male in our culture, and not a few women after due adjustments.
Lack of respect for the conception and the means of conception shows the lack of respect for its fruit: human life. John Paul II called our swinging culture, "the culture of death". How right he was.
Here's an interesting essay from Makow, a Jew, who as a young man lived a life of easy sex, and then started to get wise. Check it out if you like.
Evil is a symbolism. What evil for one is good for the other. So if God created evil then isn't him evil himself? We are going through sophisms here...no need.

any imaginary friend would do really. from any religion.
I appreciate your sincerity. I have many friends whom I love and cherish, who think like you. I shall pray for you and for them.
saying you will pray for me is condenscending. It means you feel like you have moral superiority. Dude, if he exists, killed more people than any other human being both by allowing it and directly as the bible sais.
I don't think you are allowed to speak about Hitler here when your God acted much like him.
Where have I cited God as an authority in the reasons I've proposed? This conversation has more to do with "toilet training" than about high Theology.
Are you trying to suppress my freedom of speech? Why can't I make reference to Hitler, or anyone else? Are you going to throw me in jail?
Oh, I'm condescending? If you lower yourself to the level of equating human life to the pleasure of a one night stand, then you have implicitly passed a judgement on the value of your own human life. Dear sir, I think much more of you than you do. I'm sorry that it is condescending for me to lower myself to what you are making of yourself, but my excuse is that I'm doing it only to raise you up.
About the problem of evil, that is, of an infinitely good and all powerful God creating a world full of evil, and how this apparently makes God either a collaborator in evil (hence not good) or not all powerful... that's old hat for me. I do eventually plan to address the difficult topic -- even apart from this conversation.
I think it is more urgent to convince you that you are good and have an "infinite" value as a human being, and should not for any reason be aborted or treated as no better than a one-night stand. I believe that! How can I make you believe it?
Are you trying to suppress my freedom of speech? Why can't I make reference to Hitler, or anyone else? Are you going to throw me in jail?
Because it is irrelevant and by being intellectually dishonest you are trying to shower the audience with sensationalism it is a cheap political move.

You can't. This is why people are fleeting the churches by the thousands. There is no "evil" and if there is your god plant it there so he can have some fun. If h didn't and just allows it to exist then he is prick that enjoys watching his subjects suffer much like a child enjoys burning ants with their magnifying glass. either way. you are wrong.

You are deliberately putting human lives in danger by encouraging the abuse of sex. You are irresponsibly prancing by the precipice of mass murder. You stand accused. I think the meaning is clear.
Your are morally responsible to retract your bad advise.
couldn't be anything else
But sex addiction is perversion leading to death and social dysfunction.
life is a sexually transmitted disease, always leading to death

Too many words. little to no meaning.
