is it a sin to desire/have impure dreams/thoughts but not want it in reality?

just wondering that is it a sin to desire/have impure dreams/thoughts but not want it in reality?

No.

Yes. A horrific sin, becuse dreams are just the reflection of subconscious desires.

I don't think so

It doesn't matter if it's a sin or not. You just have to go to confession/feel sorry for it/love jesus. Ahh the joys of religion....

Ugh, the concept of sin is just silly. It's either illegal or not, it's never a sin, and it's never illegal to think about doing something. Yet at least.

"sin" is completely open to interpretation. i bet if you asked 50 people what is and isn't a sin, you'd get close to 50 different answers.

I have many impure and horrific thoughts..[me=mds64]imagines being "leather face" from texas chainsaw massacare[/me]But Unless I had to do it to survive I'd never do them...Though small bouts of anger that may come close to illegal (in action)-there was no thought behind it...but that is another story and unrelated to topic...Unless you consider acting out of impulse as a "thought".

Yeah I used my parents for those-they think it's a sin and told me to stfu...but then again they always disagree with anything...I only wish I believed in religion enough to accept jesus loved me-ah the pain of being a dam EMOtional loser.

No, it is not.

In my opinion it isn't. Your thoughts are your thoughts. It's part of you that's curious about things and tries to figure out how these things could work or play out in real life.What's a sin or what isn't a sin is decided by society (through law and taboos). You will figure out what you can and what you can't do (morally). Just thinking about it won't harm anybody.

Sin or not, who cares? It's your way of thinking and no one has the right to judge you.

Depends what those desires, dreams and thoughts are? o.o

I don't think so. Everyone's thought of killing someone or doing something bad to someone. People often think these things to see outcomes or emotions are running high or something.

I have crazy thoughts too, it's a kind of psycho-hygiene.

why the hell would you ask a question like that on Romulation?

read: general discussion section.

It's all in how you look at it, I think your safe as long as you don't act upon the action if its real bad as in illegal. I don't care who you are everyone has thoughts of doing things either good or bad.

Thinking or "considering" something is different from actually doing it, so yeah you should be "free" to concoct vile thoughts. But if you write it/them down on paper, or I think even post them up online it could be considered illegal/un-warranted.Here's an example of what I mean using things that did happen:There's this perverted Doctor here in my country who "thought" of video recording his sex-capades with his girlfriend. Actually doing so wouldn't have been illegal or sinful, to borrow the term, had he not thought of posting the act/s on the net. Now having done something nasty & actually posting it up on the net for God knows what reason, is something he shouldn't have done.

Look up exhibitionism. Some people are into that sort of thing.

Not just some or a few, that's why we have those darn porn sites.Also, when it comes to porn &/or online exhibitionism a lot of factors can come into play:1. The affected parties, that is the ones in such a video's status in society.2. The Laws & culture of the country the exhibitionist/s are from.3. The intent, sometimes it's a power trip thing for these people.
