But you just created them. The whole of their lives they have been tied to that track the way a character is trapped in the holodeck. When have they had time to sin?

According to the 20 commandments that i just made up-

drop one stone tablet

10 commandments that i just made up, thou shall not question the decision of god, hereby you're sinned.

Nice reference drop there.

Even Jesus said imagining adultery is the same as committing it. They can still think, ergo they are worthy of punishment

So... Christianity has thought crimes?

Property is theft in the same way that religion is sin

No. What he was saying is that everything you do starts off as a thought. So instead of policing your own actions, police your own thoughts and don't entertain the bad ones when they enter your mind. Then when the opportunity presents itself - let's say she indicates she's up for a quickie behind the bike sheds, if you've already been fantasising about all the different scenarios you're much more likely to take her up on it than if you haven't. Therefore you should consider thinking about adultery as being just as bad as the act itself, even though it really isn't.
