ymasen made a comment about reading the book of Matthew for one of her classes, I was reminded of my favorite bible verse. Here it is:

28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

Now, there are Christians who well tell you that this is not be taken literally, but as a general guide. Those are the cool Christians.

Now, there are also those Christians who take the Bible somewhat literally. These are the ones who will tell you that evolution is wrong because the Bible says so. For all of those, I will listen to your arguments when I see that you have followed the above verses in the book of Matthew. And if you claim to have never lusted after anyone, then I think you need to see a doctor and have your hormone levels checked.
