to say that there are spiritual genetics is crazy. where does this come from? are you getting this from Paul's statement to Timothy?...if so...then study that out a little more...Paul is not saying that spiritual traits are passed on like physical DNA.
i find your comparison to abusive parents to be disgusting. abuse is NOT passed on in your DNA. that fact that someone grows up in an abusive home does not make them become an abuser...no more than growing up in a church with a mature pastor makes a person a mature believer...going to a church where the pastor is dishonest does not make me cheat on my taxes.
we are responsilible for our own actions....for our own salvation....and for our own maturity. I do believe that if we surround ourselves with mature people they can help us....but ultimately it is up to us...no one else.

It appears that you live in a theoretical world as statistics will point out that these character traits are passed on. However, it is not DNA coded it is spiritually coded. When a person grows up in a particular environment they become familiar with it's workings.
