How does one describe impure thoughts? Well the most obvious connotation to me is impure thoughts often denote a horny individual. The wild and sexy fantasies of everybody, thoughts that are not pure and next to godliness. This I think is probably the most wildly accepted connotation of the idea of impure thoughts. However, maybe someone of more religious aptitudes might think of impure thoughts as something along the lines of “thoughts slipped into our minds by the devil”. I once dated someone that thought certain things in life were tests sent by God to test their resolve, and that impure thoughts were the whispers of the Satan to pull them down into the depths of hell. Which was super confusing for a high school boy to hear from his girlfriend at the time after A) she had already stated that she believed in the concept of the immortal soul and that God has forgiven you no if ands or buts if you accept Jesus as your lord and savior, and B) almost every other word or joke out of said persons mouth exuded treacherous horniness. Like holy cow, thinking your boyfriend is a temptation sent from the devil is a meaningful justification for breaking that persons heart on Christmas? Dang girl what the hell. Sorry, if you can’t tell I am still quite annoyed about this. It doesn’t hurt quite so much anymore, but it stings still. The pain subsides with time. Oh, what was I saying? Right! Religious folk often think of temptations as impure thoughts, so impure thoughts can be categorized by “whispers of Satan”. Another connotation might be that of harm without action, for instance; thinking about stabbing someone but you don’t because your a reasonable fucking human being. Or standing on the edge of a cliff, or high surface and thinking, JUMP! Yeah I think those are also impure thoughts. So what do we have? Three things really; horny thoughts, Satan whispering sweet nothings, and uncommitted violent acts. Woooooo! What a phrase! Give yourself a pat on the back impure thoughts, you have one of the largest ranges out there!
