is one that has no victim. Several other thoughts are classified as sins, even if there is no action and no harm to anyone.

On the other hand, Jesus is supposed to have led a sinless life. Yet, the story describes how he violently attacked the money changers at the temple, drove the animals out into the street, and vandalized the place. If someone did that today, he would rightly land in jail with a stack of charges against him.

It's all very confusing.
