A fine example of blaming the victim. And I guess the altar boys wanted the priest's "holy spirit" to enter them?
What is important is not whether it was the result of a sin or not, what's important is if it was the result of their sin. But that wouldn't bother you Christians so much, since you love scapegoating others for your faults.s

A religion that glorifies mediocrity and weakness would be espoused by the mediocre and the weak. Q.E.D.

And argument expected from a religion that seeks death to all. Yours is a philosophy of death - not of life.

Ofcourse, we would.
Like how we know our hair would grow back - so we spend our days tearing them out?
Or how we know that our body would regenerate blood - so we spend our time cutting and bleeding ourselves? Women have even turned it into a ritual. Bleeding themselves for the fun of it a few days every month.

He is a moron if he gave the opportunity to a baby he knew was going to get aborted.

Meaning, embryonic stem cells have better turnouts in labs but, according to my article, not in the person who needs the cure: "There are no rejection reactions, because the cells are from the same body." So adult stem cells have been more successful in the real world where it matters.
No, you moron. Stem sells are not used to develop a cure for the person they were taken from. They are used to cure someone else. Otherwise, it'd be like transfusing the person with his own blood.
