DR. STRANGELOVE AMONG THE BAPTISTS

Head of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., Dr. Albert Mohler, has written up his sunny appraisal that once homosexuality is proven to be a biological and/or genetic imposition on human behavior, rather than a life-style option, he would enthusiastically applaud any medical science that allowed the doctors to muck around in the mother's womb pre-birth to make the homosexuality go away. He writes:

If a biological basis [for homosexuality] is found, and if a prenatal test is then developed, and if a successful treatment to reverse the sexual orientation to heterosexual is ever developed, we would support its use as we should unapologetically support the use of any appropriate means to avoid sexual temptation and the inevitable effects of sin.

The first part of that sentence is loopy enough, bringing a new level of design to boutique babies, but the second part is even loopier when you think about it: "we should unapologetically support the use of any appropriate means to avoid sexual temptation...."

Chastity belts for all!

We predict Dr. Mohler's presidency of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville is going to receive a little uterine tune-up in the very near future.
