If it is true that one out of 100 babies have undeveloped sex

organs to the point that no one can tell which, boy or girl they are, then who made the mistake, God or the parents? Doctors can build one or the other sex organ as needed. Likewise if the testosterone is messed up so that the babies sexual preference flips then who is to blame? How about autism, hair lip, joined twins and so on? This mankind creating God makes lots of mistakes, but some how the Bible picked out homosexuality as a man or woman being willfully sinful. Maybe Jesus would say, "Forgive my Father for he knows not what he does."

1. yep--and who can the intersexed kid hook up with without sinning? Wouldn't any of their partners be

half gay and therefore required to be half-stoned according to the Old Testament? That whole issue is where a lot of the religious right stuff starts to look absurd and break down.

2. There is a lot of info avaiable on this subject.

Much of it makes disturbing reading.

Doctors are not gods and they shouldn't be whacking away the private parts of tiny little babies.

3. Unfortunately, sometimes it is mankind making the mistakes.

Environmental pollution is increasing the number of fish that are intersex. No one really knows the effect it's having on people and other mammals.

4. Yeah, the fundies re trying to blame abortion for

things like increasing breast cancer rtes when numerous other factors, like environment, could be at work. I think the environment is having a huge impact on the increase in autism dignosis, which my family is living and dealing with.
