  Greed is taught, not something you are born with.

    So a toddler stealing food from his twin is taught behaviour?

      A toddler wanting something isn’t greed. How the older children and adults around them respond and teach the child determines whether they turn out to be greedy as they develop. Same as how physical contact like striking someone is either reinforced or discouraged, doing the wrong thing while finding out what is right and wrong when there is not an inherent biological urge behind the behavior is how humans develop.

      Sexuality is one of the few things that we are born with and not the result of what we are taught.

        Cheating on your partner is unacceptable but that urge is still biological and stemmed from your sexuality. Doesn’t mean adultery is okay in the eyes of God. God didn’t make you commit adultery. “My sexuality made me do it” isn’t an excuse.
