Thread: would it be a sin?

Acting violently in an imaginary world, whether a lucid dream or a video game, does not mean that you love or endorse violence. All you're doing is placing yourself into an imaginary violent scene as a mental exercise or recreational activity. As I stated in my first post, judge yourself by your actions and not your thoughts -- your thoughts only matter if they influence your actions, and they won't if your violent thoughts only exist in the context of the imaginary world. If you believe that God gives you freedom of thought but won't tolerate violent thoughts, yet he instructs you to slaughter homosexuals, then please change your beliefs.

1) some religions believe that having lustful thoughts is a sin if you dont do anything about it, even if it doesn't effect your actions
2) God doesn't instruct us to slaughter homosexuals, where did you hear that? He's only instructed us not to be homosexual, (if you believe in God that is)
