A study in 1993 determined that all but 5% of men and 11% of women have masturbated. In 2002 the Alan Guttmacher Institute found that by their late teenage years, at least 3/4 of all men and women have had intercourse, and more than 2/3 of all sexually experienced teens have had 2 or more partners. Links to these studies can be found at (http://www.kinseyinstitute.org/resources/FAQ.html#Weinstock).
Satan’s work or God’s? I’m going to go with God on this one. Why does anyone masturbate? Why would ¾ of teenage men and women have intercourse? You can answer that it is because Satan put the “dirty” thoughts in their heads but a religious person, someone who had been taught that these thoughts came from Satan and should be ignored and resisted, would surely ignore and resist them if they were just thoughts; but if the thoughts came from the body, the God-given body, the body that Satan is incapable of creating, then they would be more difficult to resist. Think about it. Think about the first time you masturbated. Were you just sitting around and some random thought came into your head, “I think I’ll play with myself”; or did you perhaps wake up one morning with a very pleasurable tingly feeling in your genitals, or were you looking at another person when the feeling came on? Isn’t that where it started, a tingly feeling? In erotic and pornographic literature it is frequently described as an itch but I prefer tingly. The point is that it came from your body. Either because it is rather mysterious because you had not heard anything about this feeling before and were perhaps a little afraid of being different or because you have been taught through your religion that doing anything about that tingly feeling is wrong, a sin; you address the new experience in private.
That, I believe, is the kind of environment in which Satanic (sinful) thoughts are more likely to flourish
If you think Satan is the source of sexual interest, I implore you to put your God-given mind to work. It is your belief in Satan and God that is messing up your mind. You believe that God and only God can create a person in a body. Comedians like to point out how conveniently God placed our hands in relation to our genitals—good for a laugh but also true. Oh, maybe it was just a mistake, an opening for Satan to go to work.
I don’t really believe Satan caused the writing of the Bible but it you read it looking for evidence that he did, you will find much to support the notion. While you are checking out the Bible check on God’s actions and words. He is really a nasty dude. It surpasses understanding why so many nice and lovely things are written about him in the Bible.

You don’t know there is a God any more than an atheist knows there is no god. You can believe there is a God. You can think there is a God. You can have faith there is a God. But there is nothing you can do to convince me you KNOW there is a God.

            Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps there is something you can do to convince me you know there is a God. What might that be? How about if you told me God had given you the ability to walk on water? OK. Show me. Let me see you walk on water. If I see you walk on water and you told me that this ability was give to you to convince doubting Thomases like me that God exists, then, wow, yeah, I think I would be convinced.

            This is a new thought for me and I think it answers a question I have pondered without resolution before. I think that the teachings of Jesus are really wonderful. Love thy neighbor. Love your enemies. Love everyone. Do not judge others. Really great stuff. My question has been why the supernatural stuff–like walking on water and virgin birth. I simply don’t believe in things that go against all of the experiences that have come to me through my god-given body. It doesn’t matter to me. The supernatural things don’t take away from the wisdom of his words that I can relate to and actually put to good use in the way I live my life.

            So here is how I think the supernatural stuff came into being. There were these men, the evangelicals of their time, trying to get the masses to follow the teachings of Jesus but the masses were not buying it so they started attributing supernatural abilities to him.

Are you one of those who need to have Christ with supernatural abilities? Why? Aren’t his words powerful enough without the virgin birth, turning a fish and a loaf of bread into enough food to feed the crowd, resurrection?

            This is the life God gave you. There is so much to be explored, learned, and enjoyed in this life. There are so many challenges, like living peacefully, like having a meaningful relationship with another, like dealing with our deficiencies whether it be physical handicaps or mental handicaps. What a fantastic game has been developed for us—this game of life with its pleasures and its pain and suffering. There are video games that try to recreate parts of life. Think of life as the ultimate video game and play it well.
