Dr. Edward Jenner was a humanitarian and agnostic who discovered the small pox vaccine?

Question

smallpox was wiping out millions until dr. jenner spent years inventing the vaccine that gave us all a chance to survive. if not for this great scientist and humanitarian no muslim or christian would have even been living to write questions on yahoo.
during a discussion once a muslim mate of mine branded dr. jenner a devil who is roasting in hell because he was an agnostic.
i in return told him that if not for this devil jenner that all muslims including the muslim mate would have been enjoying their virgins in paradise by now.

what do you religious people think of my answer?

Answer 1

I'm not religious, but when you chose to use the word "all" you made a sweeping generalization and invalidated your question/statement. Without Jenner we'd still be here, just dealing with smallpox. Smallpox has a high mortality rate but people have survived it for thousands of years. To unleash it today would be disastrous because so few of us have a natural immunity to it, never having been exposed, but we'd survive.

You may be interested in knowing that Jonas Salk is responsible for the near eradication of polio. I'm not certain, but I believe Jonas Salk is a Jew. One's religion or lack of means nothing when we're talking about advances made for the good of mankind. I point this out only because you brought it up.

Again, by using the word "all" you invalidated the reply you gave to your friend. Sweeping generalizations have a tendency to do that.

Answer 2

A) Your Muslim "mate" is just as sadly misinformed as any Christian fundamentalist.

B) Agnosticism is merely a phrase that describes anyone who hasn't yet made a firm decision about God one way or the other.

C) Tell your "mate" to leave judgement to God! "Judge not, lest ye be so judged." is a commandment, not just a warning!

Answer 3

Any religion that glories in the infidels "roasting in hell" is so entirely morally bankrupt they aren't within the reach of normal conversation. Your response was fine, as far as it went, but if religion overshadows humanity, it becomes an obsession that is capable of doing harm to humanity (or in this case, ignoring benefits). I feel really sorry for your Muslim friend, whose religion cuts him off from millions of other humans whom he could learn from and who could learn from him.

Answer 4

You are so right .
Did you know MOST scientists are either Agnostics or Atheists .
The more intelligent you are ,the less dependent you are on religion .
Im not preaching ,it is just a fact .
There is a site that exposes all famous Atheists .

Answer 5

Your reply makes Jenner sound even more like a devil. Not only did he reject God, he also delayed millions of muslims from receiving their heavenly reward by creating the vaccine.

Answer 6

Mr. Dipstick, First off, you are vile and blasphemous towards God, the God who created you, and is the only one to give life or take it away. Jesus died for you, for us all. Wasnt that enough. ?? You may be mocking now, but on judgment day you will not. I can only pray you will repent before thing and ask Jesus into your heart. But, let me move on to your question, which I am sure you arent even seriouis about asking... will answer anyhow.
God gives us life, and gives much good to us, all else is of the devil. and natural consequence of sin, of generations. God still gives things to ppl that dont accept Him, hoping they will one day, He loves us all. This man that developed the small pox vaccine, may have been a brilliant man, and guess what God gave him tht brain to use for good things. Thats great. But, doesnt matter what good we do, if we dont accept Jesus as our saviour, and turn from sin after repentence, we will not be in Heaven when we die with God. We will be in hell. eternally tormented. Because God gives each of us various abilities, tho we arent perfect till heaven, but we are to be followers of Jesus and be the best we can be for HIM. But, when God gives us a mind, He expects us to use it for His glory,, not our own. Did this man Jenner find this cure and then give God credit? No, He did what he did, because of the mind gave him, but he didnt follow God and didnt acknowledge God in His accomplishments. Its not that God wants credit to brag. He is what He is. But, it blesses us, when we give God credit as it showed how much we love Him and know we need Him. Dr. Jenner is not a devil. He is simply in hell being tormented forever because He refused to acknowledge Jesus. we all have that same decison to make. and your muslim friend will be there too, as the only way to heaven is by Believing and folowing the God of the Bible, and asking Jesus into our heart. no other way. God says any religion that doesnt have Jesus is a false religion and we are to flee.
and you think ppl in heaven will be enjoying sex with virgins? Boy, you are so messed up. Wont be doing that in hell either. In Hell, its only dark torment forever and ever all alone. forever and ever. In Heaven, are only the followers of Jesus, with love and joy and peace in their hearts. There wont be filthy minded ppl there and there is no sex. Bible says so. If God let all those kind in, how long would heaven be heaven? It would be just like it is here today, with ppl into such filth and degradation, and hurting each other. So, these folks give God no choose but to do away with them, to prevent them from further hurt to His ture ppl.
What paradise would it be, if you could be up there raping the virgins. You know what, you must read scripture on this . Even in the days of Sodom and Gomorreh, the fallen angels (demons) were wanting to have sex with the heavenly angels. and guess what, God says what was then, will be again just before Jesus comes. and here we are. Its difficult to turn on a tv or see a movie, that isnt full of filth. Cant walk down the street without threats of violence, murder, rape.... and every sexual pervert in this world is out to get our kids too. Is it sodom and gomorreh all over again NOW. Yes sir. and Jesus is comiing soon.
So Mr. Dipstick, you best take a look at yourself and deceide are you truly wanting forever torment in hell, or do you think you best rethink your choice while there is still time. Once Jesus comes, its too late, and once you die, if it comes first, its too late.
Hit your knees, repent, God is quick to forgive, if you mean it.
Obedience leads to blessings God says, and disobedience leads to curse.....
YOu asked what we religious ppl think> I dont say I am religious as that connotates a lot of false man made doctrine. But, I am a Christian, someone that beleives in God and all of the Bible, and believes one must obey to be saved. God is calling us to purity and holiness in these last days. I pray you come in before its too late. the devil seeks only to confound you and confuse you. note the fact you are only thinking sex...... I wonder why.
Sex from God is beautiful, within the confines of marriage. anything else is just lust and its evil. wanting to have sex in heaven makes you someone that only hears the devil. sorry to disappoint you, there is no sex in heaven or hell.......... Seek truth and you shall find it.

Answer 7

Well said.
It's funny when people ascribe christianity to people who rejected that fairy-tale outright.
They even claim that Einstein was christian. He of course, wasn't.
