RE: Planned Parenthood doctor caught on camera saying things that have many people very upset

Yeah, that is funny. They tell us over and over the Bible is not to believed, that it was written by a bunch of old white guys, that it is mythology--until they think it suits them, then like you say, it is all of a sudden the be all and end all.

So you can belive in a Mythological creature with no proof they ever existed, but you can not believe in a God who walked the planet and is documented in historical accounts.
Interesting.

Historical records? The bible is not a history book. It's a book of fables.

Well, what makes you think your truth is THE truth? All the religions can't be right. They can all be wrong, however.
Several things.

First of all, Christianity is the only one that starts at the beginning. It starts well before the Birth of Christ with Adam and Eve--and Christ was present from the beginning.

All other religions except the Jewish start at a period of time in history with one person.

Second, all of the other religions are forged by man. Mohammed was a man. Buddha was a man. Confuscious was a man. Jesus Christ, however, was God.

Third, all those other dudes are dead. Jesus Christ died and rose again--and was seen by many.

You don't seem to know a whole lot about other religions. You think Hinduism doesn't have a beginning? You think the religion of Native Americans didn't have a beginning?

Christianity was also forged by man, mon ami.

Are you going to let your child die? Be honest.
You question really doesn't make sense. Cures generally come about through years and years of research through lots of avenues and people. So, what are you asking exactly? Are you asking that in the event that an aborted fetus is curable, would you then opt to use it? Is that the question? Which still is a ridiculous question, because there isn't ANYBODY a mother bear wouldn't kill to save her cub. Which actually PROVES that the natural instinct of a mother is to Choose Life versus a mother who is CHOOSING to end her baby's life. So, what is your point? The disconnect isn't the person accepting treatment for her child. The disconnect is the mother who would voluntarily end her child's life in the first place.
For Welts. Try rereading.

Perhaps you should try rereading. My post had nothing to do with "curing aborted fetuses".

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

You are too OBTUSE to understand the point. I said that if fetal tissue is curative, then of course mothers who WANT to save their children will move Heaven and Earth to do so. THEY aren't the problem. The DISCONNECT is mothers who CHOOSE to kill their OWN children in the first place. Do you understand now?

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

BTW, why are we not harvesting cord blood and placentas? That is a natural resource that in huge volume. I would support that.

Historical records? The bible is not a history book. It's a book of fables.

Try again. There are over 57 HUNDRED manuscripts in Greek alone which mention Jesus Christ--all dated between 60 and 300 A.D.

Combining all languages from that time period, there are over 48 THOUSAND that attest to the fact that Jesus Christ existed.

That is more than ONE THOUSAND times as many that attest to Aristotle ever having existed.

So you can belive in a Mythological creature with no proof they ever existed, but you can not believe in a God who walked the planet and is documented in historical accounts.
Interesting.
Historical records? The bible is not a history book. It's a book of fables.
Try again. There are over 57 HUNDRED manuscripts in Greek alone which mention Jesus Christ--all dated between 60 and 300 A.D.
Combining all languages from that time period, there are over 48 THOUSAND that attest to the fact that Jesus Christ existed.

That is more than ONE THOUSAND times as many that attest to Aristotle ever having existed.

AGAIN, I'll concede that Jesus may have existed. What I'm questioning is whether or not he was a deity. There were lots of prophets around in those days.

So, you believe that men lived to be 900 years old, people could live in the belly of a whale and the existence of unicorns?

Are we to take the bible literally or are they metaphors?

I'm just pointing out how offensive your remarks are...especially since you are "new" here and pretend to be all sparkles and rainbows. You insult the majority, be prepared to be challenged...
