In which I clarify the previous post.
I was vague and a bit unclear earlier when I said:
As for simple facts, I don't see what the problem with that is. Just the other day I had a conversation with a woman in which three unhappy things had come to her family and as she told me about them all I could think of was the simple fact that had she not been sleeping with a married man none of it would have happened. Had she paid attention to what is socially correct, conventional or expected she'd have been better off.
I was not trying to say that bad things happen to people due to the things they do. That would make me Pat-Robertson like.
One of the bad things that happened to this woman was that the wife of the guy she was carrying on with caught the couple as they were going away for the weekend. This caused the woman some embarrassment in the middle of the street.
Had she not been banging a married guy this would not have happened.
The other two things that befell her were similar… because some people never learn. And eventually children get dragged into it despite their innocence.

Come on, Delmer, take a stand. Choosing to drive at 2AM on New Year's morning (drunk or sober) increases your chance of being in an "accident" as a result of your choices AND someone else's choices. The frequency of occurrence of "bad things" that happen to people increases when they make poor choices that increase the odds. Sleeping with someone else's spouse increases your chances of being embarrassed when you get busted. Robbing Kroger's with a pistol increases your chances of ending up in the penitentiary.
