Am I so small minded that these kinds of things DON'T go through my mind?? I've read 4 articles and I've decided that religion or non-religion just doesn't concern me as much as it concerns you. I just want to have a happy day, each day. I’ve decided that you are a big thinker. Am I so small minded that these kinds of things DON’T go through my mind??

And then I whacked off again. Rinse, wash, repeat. What a crock of shit! I was so dumb to believe this and shut that part of myself down for so long, when I could have been (safely & responsibly) exploring my sexuality with others. Christianity took this from me and I still deeply resent it.

They probably did the same thing to when they were alive. And anyway, if they ARE watching, who's the biggest pervert, them or me? My attitude now is – even if they are watching me, so what?

The social stigma was really the only relevant concern and that wasn't nearly strong enough to dissuade me from it. peace|dewde When I was an atheist the only thing I feared was being found out by family and friends.

I prayed and trained, which were "painful enough to show my remorse". I also remember it took me a little time, even after I became an apostate, to fully efface that feeling of being "dirty" or "guilty". But I'd never have achieved that without losing the idiotic notion that someone out there actually gives a damn about me playing with myself.

Now that you are an atheist, and you have complete privacy in this matter, you announce it on the interwebs. Oh, the irony. peace|dewde Dude, that’s hilarious.

I've wondered what my (living) parents might do if they found me having sex (before I was married, shock! horror!) but I guess I never thought about dead people while masturbating... ;) ahahaha! that’s *awesome*.
