And what about forbidden/sinful thoughts? For instance, you're not allowed to think about sex.
Like, I remember this video in which Michael Moore says how nun told him he was not allowed to think about sex for over 5 seconds. And there is also Janeane Garofalo confronting a catholic priest who is telling her not to think about nude men.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
