These fucks only ever talk about sperm and guys jacking off. Never about women throwing away their precious eggs every month. #periodsaremurder
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
ALL WOMEN ARE KWEENS YOU INCEL LOSER
FOCUS ONLY ON THE MEN BEING EVULZ
OMG you Nazi transphobe bigot!
#MENstruation
Well, first of all, the Catholics would like a word.
Secondly, look up the difference between a gamete and a zygote.
Sperm aren't life. They're just cells. Hair & skin are cells, too.
It's the difference between potential and actual life.
A sperm is just a piece of a man, it carried his DNA exclusively. Once it combines with a female egg (imagine claiming women murder a child every month for their entire lives) it creates a synthesis of DNA from both parents unique to the child; this is the beginning of a new life.
For people that claim to follow science, they sure have a hard time understanding this.
If you haven't realized by now they don't give a fuck about science or consistency. It's only about the end goal, so they swap their positions & reasoning more often than their underwear.
Cells are usually 'alive' in the sense they consume stuff, move around, reproduce, etc.
Sperm are haploid cells which mean they cannot divide or reproduce on their own as they only have one set of chromosomes. The other half of course must be given by a cell which has them, namely the egg.
Ah, this is the type of person who protests outside barber shops because cutting hair is the exact same thing to them as lopping off limbs.
So are woman not allowed to Menstruate either now?
The Catholics would be okay with Each egg becoming a kid. But that poor woman lol.
Person probably also thinks there are more than 2 genders. Science isn't exactly their strong suit
The "I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE" crowd dosen't know that your spermatozoids aren't a human being, and that they die and get replaced with new ones regardless of if you let them sit there, or masturbate.
No surprise, just annoyed these mental midgets hold institutional power.
I usually just ask if flour is a cake when idiots spout this bs.
The difference is as simple as haploid vs diploid cells. Sperm or an unfertilized egg will never become a person.
Every species are potential people, given enough time and the right evolution pressure.
Boom. Fuck you, human-worshipper.
The same reason unfertilized eggs aren't considered life...
Well, yes, kinda. I'm Catholic, and Onanism is a mortal sin.
Is a mortal sin? I figured that the church is generally against it but that seems insane.
Everybody's misreading the passage anyways.
Jewish Law: If your brother dies without children, you are to take his wife as your own and give her a son so she has someone to take care of her in her old age (the boy will be legally your brother's son, not yours).
Onan's brother kicks off.
Onan marries his brother's wife. She consents, because she doesn't want to die alone and destitute.
Onan fucks his brother's wife but always pulls out, because he doesn't want her to actually get pregnant.
Onan is condemned and struck down for his actions.
Now, a sane person would read this story and say "Wow, Onan was a miserable son of a bitch, shirking his social obligations while reaping the rewards. No wonder OT God smoked him."
The person who read that story and decided God was against wasting sperm instead of objecting to the rape-by-deception and violation of the social contract - I'd like them to defend their reasoning.
I think it's because Christians in general don't pay much mind to the bits specifically about Jewish law in the OT, especially those parts that might be bizarrely alien in the eyes of non-Jewish cultures ... a kind of cross-cultural disconnect that happened when Roman Christianity was divesting itself of its troublesome Jewish rebel roots, or w/e.
You'd think the theologians would care, and they were the ones who got it wrong in the first place.
I have never heard that passage preached any differently than the above comment so I have no clue what you're on about
Marrying your in-law is considered squicky in modern Western society, and may have been squicky to earlier peoples adopting Christianity but without first being Jewish, and not appreciating the delciacies of Jewish law - or giving two shits about it, or seeing what it has to do with them. It's not how it's preached by the preachers, it's how it's glossed over in the minds of the masses. There's also that concept of a kid you fathered in wedlock somehow not being legally "yours".
See, this is why the stories need updating, but with the messages intact. The Woke crowd is doing it first, but changing the messaging.
Uptight no pussy mfs that's who
Tell that to God, who killed Onan for spilling his seed on purpose.
Idiotic vaporings from an asshole who slept through Biology 101.
These faggot redditors need to read a book for once and understand the difference between a zygote and the products of germ cells.
A Zygote can reproduce given the correct environment (womb).
A germ cell produces incomplete cells which must merge with another to produce a zygote. Because individually these incomplete cells cannot reproduce/divide, they aren't really alive in the traditional sense and thus I don't give a fuck if trillions of them go down the shitter.
If we accept this premise, men are guilty of murdering trillions every time they ejaculate, no matter what the circumstances. Even if you were to ejaculate only for the purposes of procreation, you would kill trillions for each sperm that survives. Ergo, men must never ejaculate.
Or, you can accept that gametes and zygotes are two different things.
What about dead skin cells? They still have some of your DNA and DNA is life! Checkmate, atheists.
The inevitable consequence of failing to accept basic biological facts.
Masturbation is indeed evil, just not to the degree of killing a defenseless baby.
