Part 1

According to the bible, if you look upon someone and lust after them, you have sinned.  Strangely enough, it has been extended to "masturbation" as well, even though it is never mentioned in the bible.  Why?  Because when you masturbate, you are "lusting", and that my friend, according to the bible, is sin.  But one can argue and say it's like blowing your nose.  One would have to agree that there are times when it needs to be done.  However, some pastors will say that it's o.k., but only if you don't "lust".  Now that's a catch 22 if I ever heard of one.  But naturally, the longer you go without masturbating or having sex, you become more "lustful".  This is just one of many fallacies of the bible.  We will discuss the other ones later.
