An Argument
I've oft been told by learned friars,
That wishing and the crime are one,
And Heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.
If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our heart's content;
Come, then, at least we may enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment!
Thomas Moore
Anybody have any idea if there is a philosophical underpinning to
the religious idea that if one sins in one's thoughts therefore
one has sinned?
