“Life is a creation of God, not a commodity to be exploited by man.”
? President Bush reaffirms his opposition to embryonic stem-cell research. (wired.com)
If you disagree with my religious views, you’re advised to sit this one out. Be warned.
I need to get Mr. Bush in a room and have a chat with him. God is a creation of man. This is proven by the historical record and the fact that Christianity is an offshoot of a radical Jewish sect. Unless you can tell me why the Christian god sat it out for the first few billion years of Earth’s existence. Listen, Christians, the Jews came first, and before them existed a number of other religions, and before them were the mystics and before them were a bunch of people that were so busy dealing with staying alive that they didn’t have time to dream up deity-stories to make themselves feel special.
And Mr. Bush, when we’re talking about commodities that shouldn’t be exploited by man, how about trust and faith? Contrary to your worldview, not all Americans are Protestants, and for you to base national policy on your minority religious view is an abuse of trust and faith. Especially when it comes to a technology that can save countless lives and improve the quality of life for many others. Will it be used for evil? Sure, everything can be, in the right (wrong?) hands. Just take a look at the Crusades. Peaceful religion my [foot].
I’ll be sure to post my address in Jail when CARNIVORE gets hold of this one…
