Do you think all the millions of babies/children in third world counties dying slowly and painfully of thirst, starvation, and disease hurts god more, or less, than disrespecting your mom, stealing from your neighbor, or thinking your best friend's wife is super hot?
I don't know about disrespecting your mom or stealing, but thinking someone else is really attractive isn't something I ever considered wrong lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
