True story.
I was around 14 or 15. My brother was 13 or 14. I had discovered the joys of masturbation. My brother believed it to be a sin.
Not surprisingly, we got into an argument about it on a friday night at home. Dad and Mom had guests over playing Bridge. I told Dad the gist of the argument...
He said "ya could have picked a better time for this argument. No, it is NOT a sin. Now simmer down you two."
Dad was a Deacon in the Episcopal Church, and studied history and theology.
