That is a really good point. (Actually, Jesus made a stronger point than that: even lusting after someone you’re not married to is adultery.)
You know, you could actually be right. I’ll have to look more carefully. Maybe my understanding has been biased by the culture in which I live. Upvoted for knowledgeable rebuttal of a claim that might not be correct.
Is that something like “Plan to take steps to have sex with the person”, or like “Experience a change in your pants”? (Analogous question for the “no coveting” commandment, too.) Because if you think some thoughts are evil, you really shouldn’t build humans with a brain that automatically thinks them. At least have a little “Free will alert: Experience lust? (Y/n)” box pop up.
