When the Homily is about Immunology

"Honey, it's not me...it's my Genes!"

Well, fear not! We have a cure...well at least amongst small rodents, but can people be far behind? I can see the future prenuptial agreements which will include the recpetion of the "monogamy gene" to prevent one's fiance from straying.

So, once again we are walking down that road of biological autocracy. Certainly we are seeing the homosexual community using it and many "christian" churches are embracing it: "God made me this way!" So, if you have a hard time remaining faithful, why not lay the blame on your genes? If you have a certain warm fuzzy feeling that makes you want to have sex with children or animals - HEY! It's just your genes man, don't get so hung up on morality!!!

In fact, why bother finding "cures"? How would the homosexual community react to this headline saying: "Gene cure found for homosexuals"?

Philosophers and theologians often debate amongst themselves what it is that precisely seperates man from animal, let me toss this in from a stirctly molecular biology standpoint: man is not a behavioral slave to his genes.
