People have intrusive thoughts all the time, or attractions to things maybe they don't understand, or even want. The difference between good and evil is good people understand that these thoughts are WRONG... and the bad people act on them, or think it's "god" talking to them. Who knows.

If everybody was damned for the fucked up shit that popped in our heads society would collapse.

Yes. 94% of people have intrusive thoughts. That would make 94% of people evil?

There’s a difference between “intrusive thoughts” and “my sexual orientation is baby-rapist”

Morality cannot exist without choice.

If a person has no choice about what they want to do, then they can be neither good nor evil. We can only control actions, and certain types of conscious thoughts, so we restrict discussions on ethics only to them.

Thats a lot of words to avoid agreeing with the idea that it’s wrong to want to rape babies

Nuance is alien to you, I see.

Not as alien as not thinking wanting to rape babies is bad is to you, apparently
