No, I never murdered anyone physically. I hated people though.As far as I know, there's no reason whatsoever to think hell even exists -- anymore than the hells in other religions, which are pretty good evidence that hell is a trope that the human mind invents for psychological reasons (the need to keep the followers of your cult from defecting or the wish to have outgroups punished, for example) and not a reality. You might as well be scared of going to Tartarus. Or, for that matter, Middle Earth!
You have nothing to be ashamed of, either. There's nothing wrong with lust in and of itself! It's just a feeling, it can't harm anything. You can have too much lust, but that isn't a sin: it's just an inconvenience, or at worst a disorder.
As for the other sins you mentioned:
- Homosexuality: that's 100% OK too -- both as a form of sex and a form of love. I doubt God has a problem with it, since it's his fault.
- Thoughtcrimes: There's no such thing as an evil thought. What happens in your mind stays in your mind.
- Covetousness: This is an emotion humans have evolved because your resources affect your ability to survive and reproduce - or, if creationism is true, God gave us the tendency to covet because humanity would've gone extinct without it. Lust is a similar story.
Anyway, you should take the commandment against covetousness with a grain of salt. God literally told the Israelites to covet other people's land and property and women, so he was being a total hypocrite when he said not to covet.
- Lying: Everybody lies sometimes. Except me.
- Murder: Woah! Really? You've committed murder? Have you literally committed murder or have you just hated someone? Anyway, I've read the Old Testament, and despite what he says, God doesn't have any problem with murder.
- Adultery: Have you really committed adultery, or have you just felt lust before?
- Thievery: Well yeah, stealing is bad -- unless you needed to do it, that is.
- Idiocy: Lots of people are idiots. You actually give me the impression that you're pretty smart. But even if you're not, stupidity isn't anyone's fault, and there are some upsides to it.
- Hypocrisy: People who make a big deal out of hypocrisy are all hypocrites themselves. Metahypocrites.
It seems like your "sins" are pretty ordinary, but even if you've committed the worst sins imaginable, you should be able to forgive yourself and move on. You can't go back in time and change the past. All you can do, or should even care to do, is try to use your remaining time in a considerate and ironic and enjoyable way. I would say that to a mass murderer. But you give me the impression that your problem isn't extraordinary sin, but extraordinary guilt. If you really feel so guilty, you should get psychiatric help. Which, by the way, isn't shameful either.
And physically I am still a virgin. I have never been intimate with anyone; but I wanted to. I have also violated people in my thoughts. Jesus said it was adultery.
I can't discuss homosexuality according to the rules, so I made a mistake in bringing it up. But of course I have to go with the the Bible when it talks about sex. So I just have to leave it there.
My IQ is 85. I appreciate you saying that I seem smart, but my IQ speaks volumes. It says I am low intelligent. But when I say that I am an idiot, I am talking about me constantly testing God. I look at inappropriate content and other unclean material testing God's grace. That's idiotic. So I wasn't insulting my intelligence but my behavior. If you knew someone who decided to eat cake with a pinch of poison in it just to see if the cake will still be good, you may say that person is an idiot. That's what I believe is what I am doing. So I am just condemning my behaviour.
I don't steal now. But I have in the pass
