And Now for the Looney Anti-feminist Theory of the Year: Who's to Blame for Pastor Haggard's Fall from Grace? His Fat Lazy Wife

Oddly in the downfall of Pastor Haggard he tried to excuse his time spent with a hired male prostitute by saying he had contacted him in order to by meth. Apparently in some circles meth abuse is more acceptable then homosexual activity. But now his defenders posit a new theory for his weekly dalliance into the world of depravity--his fat lazy wife. She went to seed thereby driving him into the arms of a gay prostitute! Glad that some in the evangelical right are willing to be expansive in their search for the biological basis of homosexuality!!

I was prepared to be surprised, til I saw it was Mars Hill. Those folks are special.

I am surprised to see a bioethicist use the word "loony" to describe bad behavior. Thanks for adding to stigma and prejudice.

And this has what to do with bioethics?
