A New Eugenics Movement Is Born
The Rev. R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, says scientific research "points to some level of biological causation" for homosexuality.
The good Rev. also says homosexuality remains a sin, even if it is biologically based. He advocates medical treatment to switch unborn gay babys sexual orientation to heterosexual.
On March 2, he posted a piece on his personal Web site with the title: "Is Your Baby Gay? What If You Could Know? What If You Could Do Something About It?"
In advocating medical treatment, Mohler presumably believes that some sort of gay gene might be detected in the unborn that would guide his proposed "treatment."
So, God made you that way. It's in your DNA. But, according to the holier-than-thou, it's still a sin. God made you gay and you're going to hell for it. For all eternity.
That's a funny kind of love if you ask me. (Maybe funny isn't the right word.)
But, never fear, the wing-nut movement that opposes stem cell research, death with dignity, and HPV vaccination has a plan to step in and fix God's mistakes.
God's design, it would seem, isn't intelligent enough for at least one of our good Southern Baptists.
The religious right -- which never tires of falsely linking Darwin with eugenics -- now has a program of its very own.
