The Elijah/Elisha cycle of stories is one part of Scripture to which I continue to return for inspiration in science, religion and social concerns. I get these interests from both my parents - my mom as housewife, feminist, lay pastor and my dad as engineer turned into pastor. I have lived in both city and country. There are things I love about both. I've been a cook, roofer, manager, pastor, musician, and more. Currently I work at a motel and am trying to become a writer.

Genetic cleansing
Sounds like an old story made new once again. Genetic cleansing - this time not for Jews - for homosexuality. A religious leader, Rev. R. Albert Mohler, is calling for people to change the sexual orientation of their child within the womb. It really does seem a stretch to call a predisposition a sin. And to try to change it in the womb? Hmm. If I remember by biology and zoology correctly - it's been awhile - the species which are more monogamous have smaller testes in the male, perhaps we could help out with the sin of adultery by shrinking the testes of males in the womb?
