It’s not my fault. It’s Genetics.
By TransitionGirl | September 3, 2008
Throughout the ages, people have strived to find new excuses for doing wrong. It’s my parent’s fault, it’s my children’s fault, it’s the Government’s fault, it’s God’s fault … The only thing has changed now is that science is being used to find excuses.
Blaming Genetics for human infidelity is so ridiculous. “I couldn’t help but cheat on my wife/husband. It’s in my genes.” That’s one excuse that shows the extend of how humans are willing to blame everyone and everything else instead of taking responsibility for our actions.
Choosing to cheat on a spouse is not genes, it’s a CHOICE. A conscience choice that decides our actions. A wrong choice is not based on a tiny molecular object, but a sinful nature that sees no wrong in breaking one’s vows to a spouse and ultimately, God.
Same goes for every other choice, whether it’s murder, theft or lying. No one cell can decide what we do and to believe that is just an insult to ourselves and to the God who created us.
