YALP, I know I don't really want to hurt anybody. But, those thoughts that you have. Then I look around, knowing just the thought was sin. You question how anyone could tolerate you if they knew your thoughts. Then I am dumb founded that God loves me.
Because you are enlightened enough to NOT act on those thoughts, and to realize those thoughts are wrong in the first place.
True goodness is not from thought, nor impulse. Most times, we have no control over those - more often than not, they are instinct and not thought.
ACTIONS are where good and bad are determined. It's what we DO with those thoughts and impulses that count; it's what we DO with them, that separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom.
In other words - free will. That's not the freedom to choose...it's the ABILITY.
It was just a joke on a t-shirt I thought was funny.
You question how anyone could tolerate you if they knew your thoughts. That's one of the many reasons I got off face book, too many people don't think before they post crap.
I was taught that thoughts are like playing chess. You have to think of everything multiple steps out for cause and effect (right and wrong, good and bad, moral and immoral) to understand the correct solution to a problem or circumstance. A normal mind can process cause and effect to eliminate the wrong answers. Even wrong answers can create paths or trigger other thoughts to process again for cause and effect which can generate right or wrong paths to explore for even more paths.
Some minds get stuck in loops that prevent any action and some minds kick themselves out of the loop so they don't cycle. Sometimes they kick out of the loop and land on the right path and sometimes they don't.
A normal mind will be able to limit the processing to a limited set of solutions based on the desired outcome. This is also affected by a known set of good and bad learned as the mind develops.
As Rat said, it's not the thought that is good or bad, it's the action. Without immoral thoughts, there would be no moral thoughts and visa versa. We learn what is good and bad.
