In respone to Sarah's Adam on a Bar stool

I have a friend who once upon a time, in the not to distant past, was a youth pastor. And he gave sermons to me in a small room on the third floor of a steeple church. And on this certain occasion that I want to share with you he told me about the Pastor he served under while he was a missionary. It was in Amsterdam. In the red district. In a makeshift chapel above the full glass windowed streets. The pastor, so the story goes, suffered from a very very difficult vice. He slept with women. Nonstop. And this isn't just before he found God or whatever formative cliche you prefer, either way its irrelevant; He was an unfaithful pastor, and husband. 32. 32 is the number that rumbles around an abysm of retraction not thought of  'til I read your story Knox and remembered. And I know that's the amount of women he slept with while married to his wife. that's the number of times he told his wife. It's the number of times he fell down on bent knees and cried forgiveness at this wife's feet. And it's the number of times she had forgiven him. And I doubt that his wife's understanding of the situation melted into the trivial terms of

"Men are tempted by women so women should learn to forgive them when they cheat. It's easier for a woman not to cheat because men don't try to tempt them as much and it's not fair that men should be held responsible when they do stuff like that."

 And while the bible may be descriptively interpreted that women are at fault for the evil of men, in know way does it Biblically say such a thing. In fact I find it extremely misandric nowadays, not misogynistic, to assert that the Bible says " It is, after all, the fault of women (namely Eve), that men are tempted to do evil." No longer is it being used as a mutilated translation of the wicked to enslave people in the belief that women are to blame for "our sins". But now, in our day, the same mutilated translation is being used to show that it is the fault of man for believing that women are all at fault for tempting men. And so goes the Prickly game of who is to Blame. The Weak of mind will always strive to suggest the simplest, apparent answer to questions which can only be understood through the struggling of wisdom into words. In Paul's words "The spirit of the Lord giveth Life, the letter taketh away."
