Slutty DNA Study Provides New Way To Guilt Parents « : Crushable - Crushable gives you the celebrity news, style and scoop on the stuff you care about.

Here is a tongue-in-cheek article of some serious significance. A gene has been identified as making people more prone to infidelity and other behaviors

According to Live Science:
“A particular version of a dopamine receptor gene called DRD4 is linked to people’s tendency toward both infidelity and uncommitted one-night stands, the researchers reported Nov. 30 in the online open-access journal PloS One.
The same gene has already been linked to alcoholism and gambling addiction, as well as less destructive thrills like a love of horror films. One study linked the gene to an openness to new social situations, which in turn correlated with political liberalism.”

Hmmm. A gene that leads people into debauchery, fornication, adultery, and lust? In Biblical terms: Sin. Some people would look at this and assume that means that people who struggle with these things are programmed to do them and can't help themselves. They are trapped - victims of their own natures. The Bible agrees. And any of us are a hair's breath from falling into any one of these things, unless you are in those things already, so we can't judge ourselves better than anyone else. Fortunately, the Bible not only defines a problem - one that DNA and genetics - confirms, but also points out that our Creator has also provided a solution. The solution is Jesus Christ. If want to be made whole - you can be.
