The bible says that every person is a sinner, even the first people on earth - Adam and Eve. Back on topic, I simply can't do something so wrong, no matter the possibility. If I found a pile of cash on the street and a dude asked me to watch it for a minute, I wouldn't take it. My moral standards (and the fact that I'd probably feel so guilty I couldn't sleep) just block such thoughts in my head before even reaching the part where decisions are made.

It's easy to say that now, but you (or others) are not in a situation where your morals are tested. There are people who say they'd never cheat on their partner, and probably meant it at the time, but when a beautiful woman comes along your lust and basic instincts can sometimes take over. You might feel bad before, during and after, but that doesn't mean you might not give in to temptation. Same goes for having access to a pile of cash. It's very easy to proclaim the moral high-ground now, but when it's sitting there in-front of you whilst you're waiting for the guy to come back your mind might start to wander. I think to say otherwise or that you wouldn't be tempted is kinda going against the bible saying that every person is a sinner and can easily be swayed by temptation. I also think the fact that you are admitting that the fear of guilt may come into your mind entertains that taking it could or might be a possibility. And I'm not saying you (or anyone else) would take the money BTW, as there are plenty of good people with morals, whether personal or religious, but I think anyone has the capacity to be swayed or tempted.
I'm not denying that I won't be considering it, well, at least subconsciously and yes, people do make mistakes.

Robbing a bank of cource Cheesy (Joke)

People say this as a joke, but I bet it's what a lot of people would do. This sort of power would easily corrupt a lot of people quickly.
It's only a day. How can it corrupt people so fast?

Because for that exact reason. Give a person a power for a day and he isn't going to wait around; he'll exploit and take advantage of it whilst he can. The power only lasts a day but that money he stole will probably last a lot longer.
I wouldn't. I have strong morals and, well, I'd rather just have fun messing around. Tongue

It's easy to say that now, but given the temptation you might falter. Lots of religious people claim to have strong morals, but that doesn't seem to stop them cheating on their wife or abusing kids at any chance they get. Everyone is without sin if you believe the bible.

Never thought of it that way. Guess I'd keep bumping into people, that's what I'd be doing.

I would follow around people and troll them. You know: flying things, calling them out... Grin

Yeah, I would haunt my enemies. I'd also troll Christians and Muslims by pretending to be the voice of God/Allah. That would be pretty funny.
Well I'm Christian and if I heard someone calling me out, I'd probably ignore it and so would most, unless they religious zealots. Because think logically, it could be Satan trying to contact you, you might be hearing things or somebody put a speaker somewhere in the bushes.

Thinking logically is not what Christians do. Satan could've wrote the bible for all you know. So what would you do if it was actually god talking to you and you ignored it? That could get you a one way ticket to hell ignoring the word of god. And If I heard a crystal clear voice coming from nowhere I'd probably believe it was god, or reason that I am nuts, which is what religious people are anyway  Cheesy.

Let's stick to some rules:

1. You're still able to be harmed, invisible not invincible
2. You can't pass through walls, that's ethereal not invisible
3. You would still leave foot step noises and tracks (from moisture, etc)

Okay, tell us your deepest and darkest secrets Smiley
