Thought crime eh! what an evil fucker that christ was, making even a passing thought something that needed atonement for.

Its an impossible standard to achieve and sets us all up for a fall, but I guess that was the churches plan to gain more control.

This from a bullying help website.

http://www.bullyonline.org/stress/guilt.htm

Quote:Guilt is the method by which religious organisations, especially the Roman Catholic Church, control their flock. Encourage a person to feel guilty and you can manipulate them into thinking, believing or doing anything. However, whenever you use guilt to control someone, everybody will feel bad about it, especially the person using guilt. Guilt is the Great Destroyer; in short, guilt sucks.

The original OP says "want" which in my opinion is a desire, a bit more than a passing thought wouldn't you think. Is there a difference in speaking a thought than just thinking it? I believe there is and that's what I see in the original OP and this is what Christ meant when a person has the idea in their heart.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
