While I tried to move past the gross, r/niceguys Tartuffe lines, I couldn't move past this one bit of heresy. (Surprising, right?) "Sinning in private is no sinning at all."
First off:
1) God aint dumb.
2) We aint slick.
God is an omnipotent, omnipresent being that cannot be surprised or outsmarted. and we are fallible meat sacks with free will. Psalm 139 speaks on this.
It is folly to think we can avoid our sin by keeping it secret. It is double folly to tell ourselves that we are better than others because we sin in private rather than in public. And it is the very height of folly to convince ourselves that we can get away with sin by covering it up. "He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper" (Proverbs 28:13). All sin is an assault against God, whether it is done in public or in secret. And God, who beholds even the innermost secrets of the heart, sees our sin clearly, no matter how well we think we have covered it.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
