You're obviously onto something, it's your affinity for a book that amuses me.

You've made the mistake of taking it out of context. The question at hand was solving spiritual truth and eternal life. The solution being God because it feels good is the response to the question.
If the question was what feels physically good to do with my penis? I would say masturbating because it feels good doing so I believe it's how to physically feel good using my penis.

I think he's referring to Cosmopolitian Magazine. He is under the impression that it is a book.

Masturbation can be spiritual--it's all in your intentions, IMO.

If I find a better answer than believing in God and The Bible I will take it. I just haven't found a better answer and you guys aren't giving me enough information to what you believe to find it. If you know something better than The Bible and God please convince me. Just like a Christian try to convince others because he thinks he is right. Try to convince me so that if you are right the truth sinks in and I can believe what you are saying to me.
I would absolutely change my belief if someone gives me a better answer. If you're right try harder to explain it so I can be right too.

The question at hand was solving spiritual truth and eternal life.
And my answer makes just as much sense to me. In fact I can prove Masturbation exists and it is connected to creation and life force where as there is no proof for God except faith without evidence. So actually as far as true spirituality I've got the hard on to prove it. Not to mention the second cumming.

Try the Bhagavat Gita...IMO it is better than the Bible..

I can choose something or nothing. One gives me a meaning and the other says there is no meaning. I would like something and would like meaning.

A meaning? A meaning imposed by others? What does this meaning... mean to you? Maybe it comes from the need to feel a certainty about life, which is something that nobody can give you in my opinion. Ahh well

I know what you're saying. It's just hard to pick what you want in life. But I'm trippin this whole thing out until the end and thanks for your comments. No matter what it is, it will happen to us all in the end.

If I wear no clothes, am I nothing? Beliefs are like pieces of clothing. Choose nothing, and you will see that it is yourself you are choosing. Choose some thing, and you cover yourself with the clothing of your desire. A person's desire to be happy is what causes pain. Desire nothing and happiness is what is left. As long as you want to believe something, you will be a pauper. Give your desire for beliefs to the void, and you will become rich.
The Bible has some good stuff in it. But at the end of the day, will you require yourself to have a belief, knowing that you doubt? It's insanity. A person cannot have a belief of something they have no direct experience of, without also believing they are full of crap... unless they are full of crap, in which case it's hard to see because it's everywhere and the smell has faded from the senses. Let doubt be your friend.

Didn't you see his signature quote?
I don't believe anything, but I have many suspicions. R.A.W.

What if you didn't believe anything, but acknowledged that it is all best guess? When it comes to material reality, our best guess is probably close to accurate. When it comes to spirituality and philosophy, our best guess may be wildly inaccurate, but this is not really the point (IMO). The point of guessing about the way we live is to create the most enjoyable life experience. If guessing that there is a God, and his words are contained in the Bible, creates the most enjoyable life experience for you--COOL.
For me, guessing something that seems so unsupported by reality just doesn't work to create an enjoyable life experience. Who knows who is "right" or "wrong" in their guessing, or if there is such a thing as an incorrect spiritual guess.
As someone on this forum once said: "the proof is in the pudding."
