Jesus, I'm Horny!
Soldiers Pray To Abstain & To Save Their Marriages
from ABCNews
BAGHDAD, Iraq —
In one Baghdad Bible study group, troops pray not for courage in their struggle with insurgents but for courage in their struggle with themselves.
"Every impure thought I have drives a stake between my relationship with Christ and my relationship with my wife," said U.S. Air Force Capt. Vic Norris.
He's been married for three years and was leading the session using a kit called Every Soldier's Battle distributed to the troops in Iraq by the California-based New Life Ministries.
The kit contains a stack of books, including a Bible, and is compiled in a camouflage box. The books lay out strict rules: no infidelity, flirting, pornography or masturbation.
Soldiers are not even allowed to leer at other women. As Air Force Capt. Chris Bryant explains it, Jesus sets the bar high.
"He says if you've committed an impure thought, you've committed adultery right there," said Bryant, who is in his 14th year of marriage.
Evangelical minster Steve Arterburn of New Life Ministries put together the Every Soldier's Battle kits to help these soldiers, and he sent 20,000 of them to Afghanistan and Iraq.
"When we are open and honest, and open up about that temptation, it really takes the power out of it," Arterburn says.
These men learn to employ Arterburn's coping mechanisms, such as averting the eyes in the presence of an attractive colleague.
"And then using Bible verses and Christian music to bounce around in my head to keep those thoughts from taking control," says Norris.

Jesus Fucking Christ! I wonder how many of the soldiers are buying that bullshit. Not many unless things have drastically changed since I was a young and horny GI. You are laying your life on the line every day in close quarters and stressful conditions and there aren't even any whores around to give you the sexual relief you so much need. And you're not even supposed to jack off??? I DON"T THINK SO DUDE!!! The biggest problem is finding privacy but where there is a will there is a way! I speak from experience! The world is getting sillier and sillier but with this crazy guy in the White House, what else do you expect! God bless us all!
All I can say is thank God that they're holding on to their morals while they're out there murdering people.
Maybe if they were allowed to whack off once in a while (circle jerks not required), then maybe we wouldn't have Haditha-like massacres.
Fucking America. Does it do anything right anymore?
