Paraphrase..'We couldn't have stem cell research while President Larry the Cable Guy was in office, because Repugs explained to him, that goo in the petri dish is a baby'
Bill- That's not a baby because they put that in the freezer. I don't know much about babies, but I'm pretty sure you can't freeze them. If we could..Yuppies would do that while they took a trip to Italy

(463 posts)Antibiotics work better if your pray. That's the well known placebo effect in action. Or as a very wise woman(My mom while teaching me how to drive a car) told me. "Trust in God, but keep your hands on the steering wheel son".
Every study shows that prayer has no effect whatever.

Just for giggles.. The Golden Rule was lifted from the oldest surviving law code. The Code of Ur Nammu 21002050 BC.
The golden rule existed well before the bible, as did the 10 Commandments. The bible is full of plagiarized stories

(5,927 posts)I have no argument with any of what you say, but I do think it--the golden rule is reflected (or plagiarized) in the commandment "Love thy neighbor as thyself"....seems to me it's saying pretty much the same thing.
I treat religion like I treat anything else: accept the parts that make sense and later for the rest.

The world would have been so much better off without that invention
