The con argument against stem cell research falls flat when you question them on whether or not they hold mini-funeral services every month for those unfortunate eggs that had not been fertilized or the millions of sperm cells discarded with normal ejaculate. Do they bury their tampons in the back yard under a little cross every month.
Yes, that is ridiculous. As ridiculous as their objections to stem cell research.

In Brazil, weeks ago, a priest damned doctors who did a surgery in a 11 years old children to abort her baby 'cause she was raped.. to him, it doesn't matter if the children dies, and he says that it's what god wants.. and some people still believe in the church..

Good summary of the differences between Fundie "evilution" and the scientific stuff. It seems that is was pearls cast before swine, as some Jewish chap said some time ago.

I like it Alex! I sent your comment to some fellow atheist friends for their enjoyment. Don't worry I gave you credit! :)

The Fundy Mentality:
No stem cell research, but brain-dead vegetables like Terry Schiavo should be kept alive indefinitely.
"Pro-life" when it comes to fetuses, but let's execute mentally retarded people when social programs are cut, and, left without resources or rehabilitation, a mentally retarded person commits rape or murder.
The Christian 'right to die' plan: If you are in the final stages of a terminal illness, and would rather die than suffer or put your family through the financial hardship, then simply kill the guy in the bed next to you, and they'll ship you to Texas for a free ride on the electric couch.

"I strongly support expanding research on stem cells," he said on the campaign trail.

"I believe that the restrictions that President Bush has placed on funding of human embryonic stem cell research have handcuffed our scientists and hindered our ability to compete with other nations."

-- President Obama, quoted on BBC News

WASPs all over America are now dropping to their knees and praying. Hopefully, those prayers will be answered the same as all other prayers are.

"Great clip, Tony.  People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis.  Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
