If you mentally address a woman and imagine yourself having sex with her, you have committed the sin of adultery in your head just as much as the man who physically does it. Is this so difficult to understand?
For Catholic Lady, it apparently is. She seems to think that Jesus's words on the matter have a finer interpretation than you or I.
Hm? My interpretation of it is exactly what Randy wrote.
The word Jesus used was lust.
Lust =/= involuntary arousal
Lust = making the decision to objectify someone in your mind by having sex with them, etc
"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."
