Robb... I'm single, never been married.
So tell me, how is it that I have committed adultery if I look at a woman and think "lustful" thoughts? |
All I am repeating is christian theology from the Bible. Jesus equates lustful thoughts with adultry. I take this to be sexual thoughts without regard to the person you are lusting after. Only sexual gratifivatuion at the expense of the other person.

What if I "lust" for someone who doesn't actually exist, such as an ideal of beauty that exists only in my imagination?
Why He would give a shit is beyond me, too. But then, He seems to want all the attention over to himself, 24/7. Not a selfish, arrogant thing to want, at all. Not like an obsessive control freak, at all, either. |

There's that personal interpretation again. So much for your claim that you just follow the bible as its written without putting your personal gloss over it, Robb.
I hope you can begin to see that the idea that such a thing is even possible is a lie, Robb. Everyone interprets the bible to fit their own meaning, including you. Including the minister who claims not to. Someone sold you a bill of goods. There is no such thing as following the bible "as god intended." You've been duped.

Yeah, I'm just getting tweaked at the "they didn't use reason to form this belief" idea. I think a lot of skeptics use it as a club. I'd like to see less of it, is all. |
