Take the "What Category Adulterer Am I" Test
The place I get my hair cut is run by a good friend's wife who is very, very attractive and a golfer. Her associate is also attractive, but not a golfer. Both know who Tiger Woods is and both now detest him. Nothing to do with the accident, his failure to come clean sooner or the fact he had sex with other women. It is the fact he committed adultery by being married and having sex with other women. Tiger Woods is an adulterer. Let's keep in mind that adultery is a defect of character, not a criminal act.
That being said, you may also be one and not even know it.
I think there are three categories of adultery. Because Tiger (and I) are males, let's use males as the examples. The first category obviously is actually committing sex acts with a female while being married. No gray area. The guy is married. Has sex with a female other than his wife. He has commited physical adultery.
Secondly, we have the guy with all of the attributes to attract and entice females to conceivably have sex with him and he has "has lust in his heart", like former President Jimmy Carter once said, but is so afraid of getting caught, the penalty far surpasses the potential pleasure. So he commits adultery in his heart.
Thirdly, there are guys who either by looks or personality could not get laid in a brothel with a fist full of fifties. They go out with their buddies, go on trips or even covet their neighbor's wife, but the possibility of "it" actually happening are actually below zero percent. In other words, if a genie in a bottle scenario came to be, he would take it in a heart beat. But, 'it ain't, so he cain't'. He is committing adultery in his mind.
In my religion, all three guys have something to discuss with the priest. Maybe something to discuss with their spouse or spiritual counselor. But, they have absolutely NOTHING to discuss about the extramarital circumstances of another human being. Especially in writing or on television. So, if you are an adulterer in any of the three categories listed above and you publicly spoke poorly of another recent adulterer, publicly apologize. If you did so privately, forgive yourself on my behalf and please do not do it again. You jerk.

Well said....yes....but wrong!
Of course your first point is correct….duh. I have a problem with your 2nd and 3rd points. Man and woman were made with a natural desire for the opposite sex…..this is not wrong. That desire is good, but can be perverted, just as eating is good, but eating too much can be bad. Seeing a beautiful woman and thinking, wow, she is gorgeous……is not being lustful. Seeing a beautiful woman and thinking, wow, I’d like sleep with her, would be lust. I believe it then becomes “adultery in your heart” when you actually desire to make it happen, which has nothing to do with having the “attributes to attract and entice females”. Whether or not you can make “it” happen or fear of getting caught is meaningless…..the desire to make it happen is the problem. I can tell you that I have never had sex with any woman but my wife, nor can I remember ever “committing adultery in my heart”. So, I’m not sure if I pass or fail your test……Jerk
The second category was "if you could get away with it"
and the third is “I would if I could, but no girl will let me, so I won’t”. My contention is you have ‘sinned’ almost equally in all three instances.
How about this? An alcoholic goes to a party and decides to have a drink after tens years sober. Because his wife is there he sneaks a drink by grabbing a glass that a friend places on the bar and gulps it down. Come to find out, it was simply water. Did he break his ten years of sobriety? He mentally took a drink…
And, the ‘jerk’ I mention is the guy who questions other people’s morals based what he considers poor behavior. I have sinned countless times in both the #2 & #3 categories, but I won’t denounce you if you did it also.

OK
I understand, but the sin is “I would if I could” and has nothing to do with whether or not the girl complies. I know what you are trying to say, but I think your brush paints to broad a picture. Your alcoholic example actually agrees with what I am saying. The desire for alcohol is always there, but the “sin” was in the action of taking the drink with the intent of drinking alcohol…….regardless of what was in the glass. I was confused as to why you would finish your article with “You Jerk”, so I signed my comment Jerk. Also, as I said I haven’t wanted to sleep with another woman, besides my wife, so whether you denounce me or not has no effect on me, just as my comments on Tiger have no effect on him……go figure!
JERK
- Public Sports figure in the world. Your looked at as a role model for kids around the world and are touted as such through your childrens foundation and constantly through the media. Married with a child. Wife is pregnant with a second child. You have accomplished almost every record there is in your sport. You took your marrrage vows under God. You have 100 times what most people could possibly have in thier lifetime. You spend part of the last 2 years of your life sneaking around having lurid affairs with skanky woman under the self appointed cover of wanting privacy cause you spend so much time out in public on a regular basis as is. YEAH I’d say Tiger qualifies for being a JERK…jumpn/progolf
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Amen bro !
JJ,…dude,… that was a “knock-out” post !!! I think maybe I’m rubbing off on y’all, LOL. I still do not believe that we’ve heard the last from these skanks. From what my professinal associates have said in the past, and are still saying , there is more trouble ahead. Poor bastard,…he had it all. At least MJ was smart enough to use professionals. Wham-bam-thank-you ma’am,…. her’s your $$$$ and no, I don’t need a receipt. Have a nice life. TW,…well, he never did finish college did he ? Maybe he shoulda got his tale-chasin’ quota at Stanford and then have graduated. Book learnin’ does not cover the entire college curriculum ! LMAO ………………………Z.
you're still away,...choke on it !
Hey there!
I’m not surprised you’d think a "knock out post " was one that echoed your sentiments. Comments are getting more predicable all the time. You imply there’s some kind of wisdom in using prostitutes… Maybe I’m way off here, but I always thought “skanks” had front teeth missing and hung out on street corners… These women don’t fall into my perception of “skank”…. I do think you’re right about more to come…. Do you think Tiger could have been in a loveless marriage? Does he seem like the kind of guy to do something this damaging? Tale-chasin’…..Chaucer?
Loveless marrage
That thought had occoured to me Ping, but you mentioned it first. If there is no love, then surly one would look elsewhere…or he plain just didn’t care that much.
Tina Turner want to know....
what’s love go to do with it?
