Eh, the 'point' at which a human truely can be considered a human is highly ambiguous. I do not deam the fertilized egg to be human, as it is not alive, and possess no cognitive ability. You may believe that human life begins at conception, I do not. But even if I did, stem cell research can be...

I agree, I would prefer cord blood to be used than fluids left over from abortion clinics, I was just stating another alternative. But I don't think you should look at abortion clinic stem cells as supporting abortion--the two issues are not synonymous. The fact of the matter is that there are...

Some people deam it immoral because it deals with basically destroying a human embryo, which can potentially be developed into a human being, to do research. But what many do not know is that there are lots of embryos in storage at abortion clinics and such places that are just going to be...

Eh, I only posted because he implied that Jesus' birth was where Christmas originated from. Just being my nitpicky self. But you're right: regardless of the reasons for its existence, the spirit of christmas that has become cultural over our history remains entirely intact. It shouldn't matter...

Peon: It doesn't change that, I was just saying that Christmas did not originally come from Christianity and Jesus' birth Hescommin: Oo, it would appear that I am wrong with my March statement. Apparently that is an old theory that has been largely discarded in favor of another which places...

Welll...technically Christmas originated from a pagan holiday that celebrated the winter solstice.  The Catholics went on their whole war on paganism and recast the holiday now known as Christmas as a Christian one, and celebrated the birth of Christ, who was actually born in March, on it. Yay...

I've heard about this... Gullible peoples, that's all I gots to say.

You are so funny SA.. :P

I don't think it's fair to conclude that there is a complete lack of denominational division in the church based soley on your own experiences Peon, because if nothing else, there is at least SOME division on account of different interperetations. I have never experienced it either, but I know...
