To If God B4Me:
Did I say homosexuality anywhere in my question?No, I don't think so..
I asked if it feels good.That could mean anything.That could mean walking in the woods naked covered in chocolate.

Can you give an EXAMPLE of something that feels good, is not harmful in any way, AND is considered a sin? I cant think of any. Cuz, like, having wild, unmarried sex may feel good, but it does end up hurting us. Like STDs, unplanned/unwanted pregnancies, or future guilty feelings. God is infinetly wiser than us. Hes like a parent. If my daughter ate cheeseburgers every day, I would make her stop. She may not see WHY it is bad for her, but that is because shes young and inexperienced. God can see how things will affect us and other people in the future. So even if something seems to just feel good and have no immediate consequences, it probably will down the road.
PS- you still need to give an example of something that feels good, is non-harmful, AND is considered a sin. for one, walking naked in the woods covered in chocolate would not be considered a sin. So that doesnt even fit into your question. Second, no one HAS to be punished. There may be earthly consequences for our actions, but you dont have to be punished by God unless you specifically REJECT the gift of eternal life. unless that is the case, all is forgiven.
*******why would masturbating in a church bathroom be a sin? a church is just a building. God is everywhere, he is not confined by our man-made structures. PEOPLE might think its gross, but thats probably the extent of it*************

What feels good and doesn't hurt you or anyone else? Does God really punish you for it?
What kind of punishment does He give you?
Not clear. Sorry, I can't answer. Give up.

that's one of the biggest problems facig peple today -- if it feels good -- my goodness -- there is such a thing as propriety, morality and decency. just because something feels good does not meanit's okay. sex can be wonderful but it can hurt someone - even though you can take precautious etc - what you say doesn't hurt anyone or yourself is a falicy -it does and it can -it hurts your sanity and your mind - maybenot at the time but trust me - it takes a tole on you as you grow up and out of yourself pleasing ways.

Easterbunny,I am assuming you are refering to being gay? It is a sin like any other. For instance Gossip is a sin also but that doesn't separate me from God. He knows our true nature and frame. Don't let that come between you and Christ.

Because you're not
- sensitive enough to feel how you are hurting others in the long term
- smart enough to know it's wrong
- experienced enough to know what effect there will be
- old enough to know it's not worth it
and so on

ask yourself why does your father punish you if you act badly? god have put forevery one limits(or red lines) if you cross them that means you have gone too far.and you have to be punished.I advise you to read the quran and you will find the best answer to you question.
