I have them all the time, just wondering if there’s any sane people out there that have relatively normal thoughts on a day to day basis.

    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.
