Why did Bush ban govt funding of embryonic stem cell research but did NOT ban private funding of embryonic stem cell research???

Isn't killing, killing no matter what? Does Bush discriminate against abortion when it comes to private/public funding/practice? Isn't killing... killing, no matter what?

If private companies have a heads up in stem cell research, and public companies don't... then that means private pharmaceutical companies can monopolize and seize patents in many life saving drugs that can be brought about by this kind of stem cell research.
QUESTION: These private pharmaceutical companies...how much did they donate to Bush's campaign?

For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death

Then there is Leviticus 20:13:

If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.
All homosexuals need to be killed.

Then look at Deut 21:18-21. It says:

If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father and mother, who does not heed them when they discipline him, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his town at the gate of that place. They shall say to the elders of his town, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death. So you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel will hear, and be afraid.
That is a whole lot of teenagers that

If you oppose the death penalty state why and back it up please. The death penalty can be seen as cruel and inhumane and it can be seen as justice. Where do you stand?

If you go to some parts of the South or anywhere for that matter, some whites can't even speak in complete sentences and act like they need to be caged somewhere. The same holds true for hispanics, asians, etc. There are "ghetto" acting people in all races, even though there are some that hate to admit it. What do you think?

I'm not trying to agitate Christians with this question. I'm really just curious. If you beleive that you can't be saved unless you accept Chirst, what about someone who lives in a very isolated place and never even heard of Christ? Does ignorance provide impunity?

No, seriously. Really consider the 'know' part, it is seperate from what you think you know, but if you think really hard you will find that the only thing you KNOW is that you actually don't know. A thing that a lot of people don't..

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the
1930s '40s, '50s, '60s and ‘70s!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.


They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.


Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright- colored, lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention the risks we took hitchhiking.


As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.


Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.


We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.


We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and NO ONE actually died from this.


We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!


We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.


No one was able to reach us all day. And we were okay.


We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes! After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.


We did not have Play stations, Nintendo’s, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video-tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS, and we went outside and found them!


We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.


We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.


We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!


Little League had tryouts, and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!


The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!


This generation has produced some of the best risk takers, problem solvers, and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.


We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!







And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS!


You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our "own" good.
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

so according to christians God is 3 parts the
head>>>father
son>>>jesus
holy spirit>>> Angel Gabrielle?
anyways!

why would God who supposedly created every thing, who owns every thing who has billions of billions of his Creations worship him, come from heaven to give a book to someone by himself, or sacrifice himself.
couldnt he send an Angel or let a human do this for him?
how could you even believe that God would come down here on earth PERSONALLY??
i mean after All he has a job to do which sustaine the universe!!

dont give me made up words from the bible because i dont even believe that the bible is a legitemate source of information after what has done to it by the council of Nausea.
so please use your brains and answer me.

thanks.

Christians keep saying I have to "choose" to accept Jesus. I'm all about making choices, and I have nothing against accepting Jesus; unfortunately I got beyond a 4th grade education.
So let's say I go ahead and choose to accept him. Will I then suddenly believe that the universe was created in 7 literal days by an all-powerful deity who is merciful, but sometimes wipes out whole cities just for fun?
Will choosing to accept Jesus overcome my ability to seperate fact from fantasy and logic from fertilizer? Or do I first need to believe that true equals false before I can accept Jesus?

Which do I have to do first, accept Jesus, or stop being intelligent?
