Bottom line, once you start down that slippery slope into sin you are headed into a world of hurt, denial, pain. Everyone plays the blame game.

No one, but people don't want to take responsbility for the consequences of their behavior. They want to have their cake and eat it too.
This is as old as the Garden of Eden. Satan hasn't changed his tactics, he just dresses them up and gives them a new "spin" for a new generation and y'all are buying his lies hook, line and sinker.
A man's own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the Lord. Proverbs 19:3
