Will their 'god' be angry with them if they aren't allowed to kill more babies with embryonic stem cell research?

Is the mantra of liberalism: "Save the whales, kill the babies!"?

MO´LECH (king). The fire-god Molech was the tutelary deity of the children of Ammon, and essentially identical with the Moabitish Chemosh. Fire-gods appear to have been common to all the Canaanite, Syrian, and Arab tribes, who worshipped the destructive element under an outward symbol, with the most inhuman rites. According to Jewish tradition, the image of Molech was of brass, hollow within, and was situated without Jerusalem. “His face was (that) of a calf, and his hands stretched forth like a man who opens his hands to receive (something) of his neighbor. And they kindled it with fire, and the priests took the babe and put it into the hands of Molech, and the babe gave up the ghost.”--Smith's Bible Dictionary

London, England (LifeNews.com) -- British reporter Matthew Hill has uncovered a grisly practice where babies from Ukraine are killed via infanticide or become victims of abortions for their stem cells for dubious beauty treatments. The practice involves ravaging the babies' bodies for organs and stem cells.
As LifeNews.com previously reported, Hill produced a documentary for the BBC showing how a hospital is snatching newborns and aborted babies and giving their parts and cells to stem cell firms around the world for controversial beauty injections.
Hill writes in a Monday article in the London Daily Mail newspaper about how he uncovered the scandal, including a videotape of post-mortem examinations.
He says a charity worker at a hospital in the eastern Ukrainian city Kharkiv showed him the videotape.....

Is aborting a baby for the sake of convenience or financial well being or personal ambition so much different from sacrificing a baby on an alter to a "god" so that you might live in peace or have prosperity? There is truly "no new thing under the sun."
Obviously these "gods" aren't real and have no real power over people. I think the stem cell debate falls into a different category however. I think it is simply man relying on his own wisdom and intellect over God's. We often do things that seem right to us in our eyes only to discover that the consequences are negative and far reaching somewhere further on down the line. Consider asbestos abatement as a case in point or hydrogenated oils. Man's wisdom and knowledge is limited.

As a very wise person said "It all depends on how you look at it."
1) Some would say that yes there god is their human will or "right" to determine a minor life.
2) No the whole point of it is to not have a god. Sono sacrifice.
Human are formed to have a god weither it to be a idea, activity, or something like an idol or God. It unavoidably the truth. The problem is do believe in the Truth,do you know it?

Abraham lived hundreds of years before the Ten Commandments were given to Moses and the Jewish people.
Abraham lived in a society where human sacrifice and child sacrifice was the normal thing to do.
God was just beginning to reveal himself to mankind and Abraham did not have the Bible or much of anything else to go on.
Abraham knew that his son was a gift from God. If God demanded that Abraham kill the son, then Abraham, although it broke his heart, would do it.
Under the same circumstances (context) would we be able to follow God's will?
Under the much easier circumstances that we live in today, can we follow God's will as Jesus revealed it to us?
With the Ten Commandments, the Prophets, and especially Jesus Christ as part of our current circumstances (context), God would not put us to this test.
But we do have similar issues to tackle, like abortion where we kill our children who are miraculous gifts from God just like Isaac was to Abraham.
In abortion we sacrifice our children to the gods of lust, convenience, economy, and selfishness.
With love in Christ.

As a conservative and a Christian, I find this sort of question imbecilic. It sounds like you take Ann Coulter a little too serious. So far I have never heard any liberals suggesting that babies should be killed in order to harvest stem cells.

It's abortion when a doctor does it, but a miscarriage when "God" does it.
It's not a sacrifice, it's a medical procedure, and with proper sex education that teaches responsible, safe sex (which pro-life supporters routinely deny their children), abortions become less necessary.
The female ovaries contain millions of eggs, that's millions of potential lives. Only a few hundred will ever be released, and only a small percentage of those will be fertilized (if at all). The rest will die.
By your logic, God is the biggest of abortionist of all.

No doubt you think it is better to start a war then to kill a group of 50 cells that is no more capable of thought or feeling than your hair follicle.
Nice "morals."

To suggest that an abortion is a sacrifice to a God is absurd. It is a right which was implemented to stop women from shoving coat hangers up themselves to get rid of unwanted babies. Aren't you suppose to hate the sin and not the sinner. Women's bodies belong to them!

Just as much as breathing is a religion and sneezing a form of sacrifice to the breathing gods.

Is Conservatism a religion and war a form of human sacrifice to their god? Will their god be angry if we abolish the death penalty and refuse to fund their moronic wars?
