I was very much making a distinction between the temptation to sin and whatever circumstances you find yourself in. Please read from the beginning of my post.

The more tripe-ey it is, the more virtuous it is to believe it. Anyone could believe it if it was plausible. However, you're a fool who will go to hell if you believe other tripe that is equally as supported.
