Here are my results:
I thought the question about "lustful thoughts" was interesting - I mean, it doesn't qualify it at all, so it presumably assumes I'm already in a sexual/married relationship?
Or does it simply mean that any kind of sexual feeling bars you from heaven? How is procreation supposed to happen, in that case?
There's obviously no weighting. I mean, if I was God, I think it would be more important that I have no respect or love for Him, neither do I continually put Him first in anything in my life. Meanwhile, I don't covet, or steal, or cheat. Surely the fact that I simply have no regard for God would put me a little lower than 85-90% entry qualification? Not to stereotype, but I guess that most Christians place a lot of importance in accepting and loving God (and authority), and regard lying and lusting and coveting as only venal sins that "everybody does" and for which they feel showing proper remorse for is sufficient.
I'm aware that I will probably look quite sanctimonious with my answers, but it's true, I really don't covet, borrow (steal) things, or get angry "without cause" and hate people. That's not a moral decision, just a philosophical view of life.
