Comment on Who here does NOT have intrusive thoughts?

I know this doesn’t answer your question, but I feel like I would be more concerned if someone told me they never had any intrusive thoughts.
Like yeah it’s weird that I always think about what it might be like to drive into oncoming traffic, but I would never actually do it.
Somehow I would be more afraid of the person who’s never even thought about it once than the other

It’s like people who find I don’t believe in hell asking “what’s stopping you from murdering people?”
If religion is all that’s stopping you, I’m worried.

EXACTLY.
I have lost count of the number of times I have heard someone say some variation of “Without God or the punishment of eternal damnation what’s stopping you from raping and murdering???”
It’s like… I don’t need a magic space man to tell me those things are bad in order for me not to do them. If you DO require a magic space man to keep you from being a disgusting piece of shit maybe you gotta do some soul searching. Or dying.
