For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. ~Matthew 18:12
The cure is simple, according to Jesus. Cut off your balls!
(Christians made themselves eunuchs for centuries, this is a "traditional christian value")
I am no theologian, but I think they only approve of this type of thing if it's done as a self-punishment or "mortification of the flesh". Self harm as a punishment for being too horny? Great!
Doing it because it makes you happier and closer to your true self? Sinful! Straight to hell!
Jesus specifically blames it on the person experiencing lust
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

The nicene creed had to explicitly ban self castration.
I'm not usually one to support hunting down and suppressing heresies but I'm glad orthodoxy put an end to this practice.
Did they change the Bible's stance on stoning women? Or burning women? Or selling women?
If not they should get on that too. Really nifty that you can just change your holy book. Saves a ton of hassle in the long run.
It was kind of a one time thing. You really need to be an emperor to get that sort of thing done.
Nah. If a man wants to eliminate himself from the genetic pool, let him.

But like Jesus and Muhammad said that's bad or something. Better blame it on the women and make them cover up.
