Ah, yes, good ol' Christian morality where thoughtcrime is every bit as heinous as committing actual evil deeds. It's a moral system that advocates punishing people for instinctual thoughts regardless of whether or not they act upon them, and looking at someone with desire is treated no differently than bending them over and having your way with them.
That definitely belongs in this thread.
