Prominant Southern Baptist says it's Ok

Post #1

Post by Buckeye »

The president of a prominent Southern Baptist seminary says he would support medical treatment, if it were available, to change the sexual orientation of a fetus inside its mother's womb from homosexual to heterosexual.

How is it Ok to do this while stem cell research is unacceptable? And BTW, don't most Christians believe that homosexuality is a choice?

Personally, I'm aghast. What's next, blond hair and blue eyes?

He? You might still seem to be suffering from some of those very same screw-ups! I mean no disrespect but how can you be so sure that you haven't fallen for something no less screwy? There are other explanations for the appearance of design in all the apparent providence we find around us.

i do still suffer from some of the same screw ups. I'm still in the flesh. I'll screw up till heaven. Its the human condition to do so. what else would explain the design and order we see in the universe?

Raise your hand if you can say false dichotomy.
What we do for ourselves dies with us,
What we do for others and the world remains
and is immortal.

Never be bullied into silence.
Never allow yourself to be made a victim.
Accept no one persons definition of your life; define yourself.

See, for example, my flowery post (#126) in the "Why Intelligent Design Isn't a Scientific Theory" topic :D

Criminal activity exempted.
As an agent responsible for the up-keep of a hundred billion Galaxies typically containing some half a trillion stars, it is beyond my ability to imagine there being the slightest interest in what goes on behind bedroom doors. Really.

Are Southern Baptists aware that the universe extends quite a bit beyond Kentucky?
honest some Southern Baptists have college degrees :lol:
And so did the Muslims responsible for hijacking an enumeration of planes with the aim of smashing them into an enumeration of highly populated targets. I'm afraid college degrees these days are not proof enough of acumen, intellect, or wisdom.

I really hated to say that, believe it or not. #-o

If we give any mind to the instruction of "go and reproduce" then the answer to fetal manipulation becomes yes.

We have yet to know though what effect if any happens to the brain, mind of the fetus.
