Victor, hi..

I don't believe your situation sounds ridiculous.. it actually sounds like you're experiencing intrusive/obssesive thoughts..
You may want to talk to a doc about them. And continue to pray, repent, & converse with God.
Intrusive thoughts are (probably) more common than u suspect. Keep us posted.

Ok, so I have this ridiculous fear right now. I won't be surprised if you're confused. Sometimes I think things in my head that I don't want to think. What if I accidentally ask for forgiveness for something I didn't do? Am I held accountable for that sin? I know, it's a strange question. I know what you're probably thinking. The way my mind is, I think of something, and no matter how ridiculous it is, I stress over it. So I just need someone to tell me I'm being ridiculous or something.

I think I'd much rather be asking for forgiveness for more than I've done than less than I've done. When you ask for forgiveness, God is faithful to forgive. But, God looks at your heart. And, he knows what you've really done or would have if you could have. Your confession frees you.

Ask yourself if you DID do that sin, and asked forgiveness for that sin, would you be forgiven? And if forgiven are you still accountable?

Jesus takes away sin, not just covers up sin as it lies there beneath a covering as some teach. That is the difference between the blood of bulls and goats and the blood of Jesus. The blood of bulls and goats could never take away sin - just cover it up. But Jesus was manifest to take away our sin, and in Him there is no sin. 1 John 3:5.

I've considered that, but what if it was what the Bible calls unforgivable?

Then you wouldn't be asking for forgiveness - you wouldn't care. If a Satanist can come to Jesus and be saved, so can you.

No, I didn't actually commit it. I just asked for forgiveness for it accidentally, because sometimes I think things in my head that I don't want to think, and now my mind is making things up. I just need someone to tell me I'm being dumb to make me feel better.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. Ask the Spirit to fill your mind with the truth, and chase out the lies you've been telling yourself. You'll be able to reason it out as God gives us a sound mind.

I agree with your last line.
Don't worry worry this.
