the 7 deadly sins. greed(wanting more than you have), gluttony(eating more than waht you need to survive), sloth(laziness), envy(wanting something that someone else has), pride(not looking down on yourself), and last is lust. the one ur talkin bout. you can be turned on by a hot person and go to hell. isn't that great? -.-;; then there is this original sin and i don't know how that works. by the way, im athiest so i dont believe in sinning and stuff...i mean...according to the bible, passing down your genes is sinning. lust, pride, and greed. lust, cuz u need to have sex to get babies. pride, cuz ur probly proud of urself cuz u habz a son/daughter. and greed, cuz ur wanting a baby, which since u have none and you want some, thats wanting more than u gotz already

Errr okai.
Well technically, a man getting suddenly aroused is NOT a sin. it's human nature.
now, if a man "thinks" or "imagines" something or someONE that actually gets him aroused and THEN masturbates, that is lust. Which is then, a sin.
I got that from a preacher. *shrugs*
Now the "lust, cuz u need to have sex to get babies." part. lol, didn't God tell Adam and Eve to "Go out and multiply!" so why would it be lustful to have intercourse for a baby? Unless of course, its out of marriage, and you intend to kill the baby, it IS a sin to Catholics or Christians alike.
And hey, wanting to have a baby is not greed. lol, unless of course you need to have a baby to receive a part of a rich inheritance. =P

And for some aetheist, you seem to know some stuff o.o;;
