Or some completely different flavor of theist. Pagans have nothing against masturbation, neither do theist Buudhists or Hindus as far as I am aware. Definitley a lot of steps on the theism ladder where masturbation is okay.

Try a thread search just on the word masturbate, none of the derivations...

Do folks become atheists to justify self gratification? or is it just a by-product?

(...IPTAWRCSR or mine)

Are you kidding? I masturbate with lots of theists, sometimes eight or twelve times a day! Hell, we rent the basement of the Lutheran Church three days a week.

The Bible calls atheists blind. Masturbation causes blindness. Der!

You've got to be kidding right? Christians dont masturbate? Give me a Break!! Roflol

I was raised in a very fundamentalist church and went to a Christian Bible school for over 2 years of colledge. In that time I never ever met one person who did not admit to masturbating.
In fact, I would posit that they did it more, as there is no sex before/outside of marriage.

Not only are most atheists, theists, and agnostics preoccupied with masturbation, but even some fetuses seem to be preoccupied with it as well:

Quote:

We recently observed a female fetus at 32 weeks' gestation touching the vulva with the fingers of the right hand. The caressing movements were centered primarily on the region of the clitoris. Movements stopped after 30 to 40 seconds and started again after a few minutes. Furthermore, these slight touches were repeated and were associated with short, rapid movements of pelvis and legs. After another break, in addition to this behavior, the fetus contracted the muscles of the trunk and limbs, and then clonicotonic movements of the whole body followed. Finally, she relaxed and rested.

We observed this behavior for about 20 minutes. The mother was an active and interested witness, conversing with observers about her child's experience.

Evidence of male fetuses' excitement reflex in utero, such as erection or “masturbation�? movements, has been previously reported.

The current observation seems to show not only that the excitement reflex can be evoked in female fetuses at the third trimester of gestation but also that the orgasmic reflex can be elicited during intrauterine life.

This would agree with the physiologic features of female sexuality: The female sexual response is separate from reproductive functions and doesn't need a full sexual maturity to be explicit.

My daughter has a 3D ultrasound booked for the week after next. There are some mental images I really didn't need.

Sounds like you've got a preoccupation with the "atheist's preoccupation with masturbation".

and the word fish shows up 500 results, i fail to see the relevance. especially considering the word "masturbate" found in threads does not imply a topic, or even that someone was thinking about it. for all you know, it could be an off-hand remark, or part of a quote from a website dealing with something entirely different. To assume that it means that masturbation ios the topic is indeed fishy. <there's one more instance of fish to add to the search engine>

unless you're about to suggest we have a pre-occupation with fish.

I read somewhere that 95% of all men masterbate, and that 5% are chronic liars.
