It's our brain's job to give us lots of ideas. It's then our job to contextualize and filter those ideas, into "useful" and "discard".

You shouldn't feel guilty for having a brain which gives you outrageous ideas. You should only worry if you can't filter them appropriately.

My understanding is that part of schizophrenia can be experiencing those ideas as an external voice.
