Christian ethics: isn't that an oxymoron?
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln

No one said it was respectable ethics.

Though 2 billion people apparently believe it is.

Well, don't get me wrong. I think the whole not stealing, not murdering, not lying, and not raping people parts are perfectly fine.

It's just the rest of it...

You don't need Christianity for that. Christianity simply charges you an exceptionally exorbitant price, payable only in a coin called your intellectual integrity, plus shrilly insists that you take all the rest, for exactly the same thing.

Those people would probably also find peace of mind in paying through their noses for bottled tap water from somewhere else, that has fecal particles on the inside and a slick condescending label with all sorts of false advertisements on the outside, when their own tap water is basically free and of a much higher quality.

http://www.stemcellresearchfacts.org/

So my learning about the potencies, classes if stem cells, state of current research is paltry compared to a front website, with ultra simplified language (read information removed to ridiculous proportions), that hawks near non-existent adult stem cell therapies, some of which counteract very simple cases as opposed to things like metastatic melanoma?

Fuck you asshole. Really. You farted out a website after I gave verifiable information, completely ignoring my point. That wasn't just rude, that was an insult.

Oh, I agree entirely. Other religions also teach those things. It is, however, the only part of Christianity I actually agree with.
