It may be difficult to grasp how genes, environment, and other influences interrelate to one another, how a certain factor may "influence" an outcome but not cause it, and how faith enters in. The scenario below is condensed and hypothetical, but is drawn from the lives of actual people, illustrating how many different factors influence behavior.
The lack of Spiritual Guidance allows for this thought process. That is why the attack on the Church has lead to more personal destruction in our society. God Bless.
