What's the point of making it something immoral, then?

An act can be objectively immoral, in and of itself. But the person's heart is something that cannot be judged. For example, a man breaks into your home and steals some percocet from your medicine cabinet. Is action moral? No.

Now imagine these 2 scenarios:

1. The man stole your percocet in order to sell them to high school kids.

2. The man stole your percocet because his child is in great pain while recovering from an injury and he cannot afford a refill of the medication.

The fact still remains, stealing is wrong. Period. But in scenario 1 the man probably has a lot more darkness in his heart than in scenario 2. While stealing is still wrong, I'm willing to bet his culpability is greatly lessened in the second scenario verses the first.

What does that have to do with two consenting adults entering into a relationship together?

Also, hearts don't feel emotions; hearts don't think. Hearts pump blood.
