Everything you wrote is true, but t doesn't have much to do directly with what I wrote. The part about God being saddened with us is a legitimate, and I think true, observation.

That's not to say that my mind darts, and fixates on, sinful sexual matters when the topic turns to sinful behavior.

If the folks fixated on sexual sin put 1/3rd the effort and attention to other sinful behavior - gossip, gluttony, selfishness, etc, I think they could be effective. For too many folks, sin becomes a predominantly sexual matter. Clearly, sin isn't predominantly a sexual matter: any adult who seriously limits it that was seriously limits their effectiveness.

Sure, motherhood, apple pie, all of that. It's also interesting that there are a large number of folks who seem to devote extra energy to defending sexual sin. Based on the shift in our culture over the last 50 years, I'd say they're winning.
