Al Mohler Strikes Again

I’m not sure I totally understand this Albert Mohler fellow. He is obviously a man of strong faith. Even if he’s inclined to discredit anybody of equally strong spiritual belief, if that belief in any way wavers from what Mohler believes.

The president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary is said by those who sold him the books to be one of Louisville’s most well read intellectuals. Those who have engaged him in serious conversation — and it’s hard to find any that have who don’t adhere to Mohler’s beliefs — say he is as bright as they come.

Well and good. One guy’s opinion: the guy’s a cretin. The lowest form. He is smart and empirical enough to understand and foster a diversity of spiritual beliefs. Unfortunately his fundamentalism allows nary a micrometer of tolerance.

For years, at every philosophical turn, he’s been driving a wedge between his acolytes and the rest of the heathen world. Yet none of that trenchant didacticism has been as bad as his latest buffoonery. He now thinks there might be a biological basis for homosexuality. And that good, god-fearing Christians need to develop prenatal treatment to prevent those poor unborns from nature’s way.

Say what?

I’m not going to get into it with the guy. After all, he’s brighter and better read than I. But, riddle me this, Al: If God, acting through Mother Nature as he is wont to do, matches seed and egg into a baby predisposed toward homosexuality, who are we mere humans to disagree?
