According to the bible, it isn't the act pf "masturbation" that is a sin. The whole "spilling his semen to the ground"-thing isn't what made a certain person mad. It was that he didn't impregnate his brothers wife. I haven't seen anything in the bible that says "Masturbation is evil, stay away from it".
Quote:
Genesis 38 :: New International Version (NIV)
"8 Then Judah said to Onan, "Lie with your brother's wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to produce offspring for your brother." 9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the LORD's sight; so he put him to death also. "
and
Genesis 38 :: King James Version (KJV)
" 8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also."

Hmm.. I prollly shoulnd't even answer this one, sicne I don't belive in any god or satan. But I still feel that it's wrong for people to go around and feel that masturbation is wrong.
