Good point. The whole concept of praying "lead us not into temptation" is saying that we are not super-human beings incapable of being tempted. So we need to stay away from the temptation in the first place. No one is perfect and beyond the ability to fall if we are overly enticed.

I've heard stories that some very prominent religious figure (an evangelist?) said that he had a policy of never being alone with a woman in a car. He knew that he was human and could be tempted if he put himself in a bad position. So I figure that if he allows himself to be imperfect and work in ways to deal with that, I'd better give myself that allowance as well.
