The bottom line is that we are all predisposed to sin in general--that is the basis for the whole message of the gospel--due to our sin nature inherited from the real, literal fall of the first man, Adam.

Whatever our genetic pre-disposition (alcoholism, homosexuality, infidelity, etc.) there's no excuse for giving into sin, since Yeshua gave His all so we could live forever with Him.

I'm genetically pre-disposed to hate liberals and ACLU members. I can't be blamed.

I have a friend who once served on the parole board. He said that a small percentage of men who "found God" while in prison hadn't actually found God, what some found was an excuse. (the devil made them do it)

My friend made no bones about the fact that he thinks Christianity in prison is a good thing if it's real.

"Whether this study will be confirmed or not remains to be seen."

Translation: We need more MONEY to conduct further research.

And for all this time, I thought Clinton just liked the heavy-set chicks. Now you're telling me he's been predisposed to it the whole time.

What's next? Monica had the cigar gene?
