Someone has an ocd fear of God. One day, he is relaxed and calm and wants to stop a bad habit. He gets an intrusive thought that suggests him to make a real promise to God that would force him to stop that bad habit. He thinks about it some seconds, and for some reason, he thinks its a good idea and that it worths the risk. He prays to God and makes the promise. It is as if he is threating himself with a broken promise to God, in order to force himself to stop that bad habit. Even though, he knew what he was doing, does it still count as ocd or as a normal promise? Do not forget his has ocd fear of God but for some reason that he can't explain, he foolishly, made a promise for something stupid. Is the promise valid or not? Can he blame his illness? Is the promise similar to the vow that a father made as it was written in the bible?
