Not unless you act on it

You see a hot waitress at the restaurant while you’re away on business. You married
Do you act on the “thought” you have?
You see a wallet on the street. Theres lots of ID in there, name, address phone number. There’s also $500 in cash. The “thought” crosses your mind
Do you act on the “thought” you have?

Ummm. Excatly where did I argue that anyone would put ideas into action. We both know some people do. For various reasons that it would be pointless to go into here they get an idea and think that it is a good one and that it should be implemented. Sometimes the idea is “kill lots of people because X”. This is obviously a bad idea. For some reason they think their action is justified. That is the force of the idea. Is that somehow an alien concept?
