For those who need one, now comes the best excuse ever for cheating on a spouse: I can’t help it; it’s in my genes. That’s genes, not jeans. Researchers at Binghamtom University in New York studied the history of sexual behavior and intimate relationships of 181 young adults, along with samples of their DNA. A Binghamton new release reports that people with a certain variant of the DRD4 gene, which has been linked to sensation-seeking behavior such as alcohol use and gambling, were signficantly more likely to have a history of uncommitted sex, including one-night stands and acts of infidelity.

Wrong! Its called sin.James1:14 says-But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust,and enticed. And it is in his jeans! You’re choice,believe what God said,or what man said. And have a Blessed Day!
You’re genes didn’t make you get married in the first place. If you want to act single stay single!
Sin??? Religious people full of guilt and fear,go to wars and kill for what?,examine one’s own behavior before condeming others.!!!
I don’t condemn any one. They are condemned already by God’s word! And I do examine my life to make sure it lines up with that Word.And I’m not religious,I’m Spiritual, there is a difference.And in 1Cor.2:15 says,The Spiritual man makes judgments about all things,but he himself is not subject to any man’s judgment. Have A Blessed Day!
Genetics seems to be the final frontier of blame used to justify when good is considered bad, and bad is considered good. There doesn’t seem to be a single decision that a person can make anymore that isn’t blamed on something other than a conscience right to choose. Good grief!!!
Des lu, why such a negative reaction to Bill? He simply stated a fact (quoted scripture) and offered a choice (believe man or God). He didn’t condemn anyone but you certainly comdemned him! Isn’t that a bit ironic?
Des lu, why are you being so hard on Bill? He simply stated a fact (quoted scripture) and offered a choice (believe man or God). Bill didn’t condemn anyone yet you condemned Bill. Why does truth make you so nervous?
Sounds like you may be dealing with some guilt of your own. Instead of instructing others to examine their behavior, maybe it is you that needs to do some self examination.
Thanks Terry,I wish you the best,may mercy,peace and love be yours in abundance. Until next time,have a Blessed Day!
We all learn as children that choices have results. Many of us learn that our ego’s need for reinforcement can at times lead us to choices that satisfy the ego but result in pain to ourselves and others. By the time one reaches maturity one must take responsiblity for the results of their choices.
I am neither spiritual nor religious in any sense of those words. I was told once, by a very wise man, that I possessed something no one could take away but I could throw it away. If I did I could never recover it. My honor. Another term for self-respect, I would guess. You have to live with yourself forever. What you think of yourself is based on how you deal with life and others.
I’ve been married to one woman for 53 years. In those years I have been sorely tempted sexually; many opportunities. I happened to love my wife and knowing the hurt it would cause her, and thereby the pain it would cause me, I kept my honor clean. Something I was taught many years ago in the Marine Corps. I passed my views to my son and daughters. I’m satisfied that they got the message. Their lives have been reasonably happy and no major turmoil.
It is a parent’s duty to lead by example. That is crucial. I’m sure that serious religious conviction may well help many, but it obviosuly is not well represented across the history of moral choices by those who claim its certainties.
Individuals must be captains of their ships as they sail through life. Whether you arrive at pleasant ports or on the rocks and shoals is entirely up to you.

children learn what they see. Unless the children are small they may not realize it. but by the time they are fifth grade or higher they will know. Some kid will have heard it and tell.
I was married to a man that his father had always cheated on his wife. My ex was exactly like him. We only made it 5 years. i just wish my friends had told me sooner, beacuse they all knew it.
Myex mother in las is the person that told me to divorce her son and move on while I was young..She said they never change!
Well put Mr Walker. Here is one for you.BY Miss Priscilla Slage MD. “You can create for yourself a garden of bliss if you believe in it.And you can create for yourself intolerable suffering if you believe that it is necessary.” Thanks again(Terry)and Mr Walker,its nice to hear for people with some understanding about life,because whatever you do,you will have to give an account to (some one)? Because we don’t live to our self and we don’t die to our self! As always,have a Blessed Day!
AMEN! Brother, Amen!
Blame anything you want. Then explain that to your 6-year-old.
Bill, you sound religious to me! And you quote mans words. “God” didn’t write anything.
Fact? Give me a break. The bible has good lessons. But it is a work of fiction!
The study proves one thing; no one is human or responsible enough to accept responsibility for his or her own actions. Next we will read of a study that ‘proves’ that murder is genetic.
All of you pseudo religionist stop trying to exegete the Bible you are to ignorant to even spell the word correctly. Bill is right on. When you state what a person does it’s not condemning, it’s stating a fact.
Ms Laxson if your friends had told you, you would have accused them of being envious or judging or condeming your husband. when you discover for yourself, by yourself, you condemn by yourself.
I think it’s a combination of both. My father was a cheating bastard and so am I. I always disliked his lifestyle and I have unfortunately folowed in his footsteps. I asked myself why? Human nature was begotten by the fall in Adam. We have generations and generations of sins that came before us. Can we accept that our genealogy is of evil origin. All have sinned before us. It’s our human nature and human nature was ultimately created by god. (Even if you want to call it DNA) and god gives us a chance to break this evil cycle.
I guess if life was too easy we would be as mindless as an ameba. What’s the point of having amebas in heaven (Satan might want this in hell). God created us for Heaven. Would you create a creature that wasn’t given free will? Would you create a creature that wasn’t given a choice to choose? We know the consequences of doing evil. Even though I fail I’m glad I was given a choice. I hope one day god forgives me. I sure in the hell “f” upped many times.
I have long argued that as politically incorrect as it is, some times “to forgive and forget” is not the best course of action. Hearing “it’s okay, honey,” may be just the fuel the transgressing spouse needs for more lapses of judgment, according to the new study of newlyweds. But still I just have to agree that it’s a venial sin.
