A new article has been written by well-known Reverend R. Albert Mohler Jr. The article states that there may be a biological reason for homosexuality http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/furor-over-baptists-gay-baby-article/20070315023809990001?cid=2359. Mohler goes on to state that in the future there may be technology that allows parents to find out if their unborn baby will be born homosexual or heterosexual and have the ability to change it. This statement has caused an enormous amount of outrage with different groups.
Some people are saying that he is "willing to play God" and that he is "letting homophobia take him over". His response to all of this is that he just wanted to start a conversation among people.
It is unclear at this time if this article will be damaging to his career or if it will strengthen his following in the Christian community. However, at the moment he has stayed quiet. He has not apologized for the article. Instead he has only questioned whether people actually understood what he was saying or not. It will be interesting to see how this story plays out in the next couple of days.
