Also, there are all types of idolatry. All types of idolatry in the world. If you notice, all of the real idol worshipers, all of the devil worshipers, they worship their devil and their idol with two things. One is blood, two is with seed. Why? Because this is what the shedim, all of the demons, all of the tumah in the world, this is what it lives on. So, that's why the Gemara Maseches Niddah says that when a person wastes seed, he's like worshiping an idol. Just like him. And and and the guys from from the from the church, same thing. According to the Gemara, he's liable to a death penalty. He's considered to have a major impairment, meaning he has a mum. In shamayim, they look at this person as like he's a defect. He's defected his neshamah. If the Beis Din would have known that he's doing this, meaning if this is a well-known issue and we have a Beis Din that knows it, they have to put him on cherem. Meaning you can't even count them in a minyan. Now, today, unfortunately, it's such a big epidemic, you almost can't have a kosher minyan if you really start counting it. That's a reality. But the point is, Rabbi Taub, you have to understand what the Torah says. Maseches Kallah says that he has no share of the world to come. Somebody wastes seed and does not do teshuvah, doesn't matter if he keeps Shabbos, doesn't matter if he learns the entire Shas 10 times. He doesn't He doesn't do teshuvah for wasting seed, no olam haba. What does no olam haba mean? No olam haba means eternal suffering, gehennom forever. That's what it means. No olam haba seems like, oh, okay, so what? They just delete me? That's it? Nothing happens? That's what no olam haba sounds like to us. No olam haba means that Hakadosh Baruch Hu punishes the person until he destroys the neshamah. And this takes a very, very long time and a lot of a lot of pain.
