I commend you. Thank you for the large-minded, logical, and compassionate analysis.

I get what divinedefault meant about thought crimes. I think (s)he refers to Jesus' bit about lust in the heart being equal to adultery, and calling someone a fool being equal to murder. I think Jesus was pointing out that there are crimes in everyone's thoughts. He was talking to ultra-religious law-keeping bigots who thought they were better than everybody.
