Is it wrong to cheat in virtual world.

By virtual do you mean people online you've never met or
Cheating on the sexy little thing you've made on virtual game with another sexy little thing you made in another game?

Replace the word 'cheating' with 'not being completely honest to avoid problems' then everything is fine...either in virtual world/in real world~
Just marry a open minded person....

If you had to ask you knew the answer just hoping someone would let you off your conscience speaking...

I had a virtual relationship with tin tin from the thunderbirds when I was young, and for those who remember her it was impossible for her to have a 'no strings 'relationship

I believe that it's wrong to cheat wherever you are in the world.

But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:28 ESV)

Intent is the key here. St. Augustine famously described three stages of Sin: Suggestion, Pleasure, and Consent. A thought that comes into our minds is a Suggestion. It is not sin though it can tempt us towards sin. The thought can give us pleasure and our risk level rises as we enjoy the pleasure. This is when the temptation begins to take hold in our hearts and minds. Here we are in peril and the longer we entertain the pleasure the greater our risk becomes. When we welcome the pleasure, we have consented to it. We have surely sinned in thought.


this is a bit of sticky wicket
a slippery slope if you will that I see many fall into

but but but he is only a friend I have known since high school on facebook
oh what is so wrong with a bit of harmless flirtation
she is just a co-worker calling
you are just paranoid
if you really trusted me then it would not matter how many 'friends' I have of the opposite sex...

so I believe there is a whole group of people that tune in to turn on so to speak..go into chat rooms, on forums, on blogs, websites where they get to converse with others online either by chatting or being flirty on a forum or by sending each other private messages. I believe many actually do get hooked on the feeling so to speak and this can affect their real life relationships
