Kevin,

Thanks for the link to Dr Mohler's follow up.

It is amazing how people (even some who call themselves Christian) twist and 
distort things.

A couple of quotes from his article:

I must admit much frustration about the way many in the media have handled 
the issue. Headlines proclaimed "Seminary President Says Babies Born Gay" --  
something I neither believe nor said. Other articles and reports claimed 
that I suggested that homosexuality may be genetic in origin and that 
genetic therapies should be used to create customized and corrected babies. 
I never even mentioned genetic therapies or germ-line experiments, and I am 
adamantly opposed to genetic therapies of such a sort -- real or 
hypothetical. Reading these reports and headlines was a painful and 
exasperating experience. If I believed those things attributed to me, I 
would not agree with myself and would condemn myself.
I am even more frustrated with many conservative Christians who read the 
secular headlines without even bothering to read my article. They jumped to 
conclusions that I do not hold and castigated me for advocating things I 
have opposed all my life. I have received a great deal of hate mail from 
those identifying themselves as homosexuals outraged that I believe 
homosexual acts to be unconditionally sinful. But I also received mail that 
can only be described as hateful from those who identified themselves as 
Christians -- people who clearly had never read my article and simply jumped 
to conclusions or accepted misrepresentations. Furthermore, some who 
identified themselves as Christians spoke of homosexuality and homosexuals 
with hate-filled language that literally made me shudder. Do we really love 
sinners? Do we not understand ourselves to be sinners saved by grace?
