Rev. Falwell DECRIES stem cell research: Not BIBLICAL, fails "smell test"

[Bluebear]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Rev. Jerry Falwell, citing his belief that life begins at conception, said he opposes stem cell research even though it shows great medical promise.

Falwell, founder of Virginia's Liberty University and the Moral Majority, said he sympathized with those whose conditions could possibly be helped by stem cell research.

However, he said Tuesday that any medical research must pass a three-part test: "Is it ethically correct? Is it biblically correct? Is it morally correct?"

Stem cell research, Falwell said, "does not pass the smell test."

[Evoman]

4. Someone should break his back and damage his spinal chord.

*CRACCKKK* Falwell changes his position in 3...2...1... "God loves crippled ministers and does not want them to suffer a back injury. I still hate gays, but stem cell research is supported by the bible"

[Initech]

5. Why hasnt anyone asked this question in this debate yet:

Who the fuck cares what a bunch of televangelists think?

[gollygee]

6. Wow! The Bible comes with a smell test?!

That's amazing! That will make life much easier :)

[Kiouni]

7. why don't we say fine

you don't have to ever have any benefits dervied from stem cell research but when Falwell finally gets colon cancer from that massive shit he's holding in (see above pic) or maybe just strokes out he will have wished we had carried on in the name of science.

[ComerPerro]

9. Good. He and his fundies don't get lifesaving cures that are derived. Ever

[tuvor]

10. What, no "Send me $100 and I will see that you get cured"???

Jerry, you're slipping.

[GOPBasher]

11. He should never be allowed to use any medicine that comes from SCR.eom

[whistle]

14. Jerry Falwell, the Christian Teletubby...I;m afraid that Falwell does

...pass the smell test, he smells like a Christian Fascist along with Pat Robertson, Ted Haggard and Franklin Graham. They all are sponsoring "Battle Cry for Theocracy" concerts across the country reminiscent of the Hitler Nuremberg youth rallies. <more at> http://www.counterpunch.org/taylor05112006.html

19. Speaking as a fat man....

I really don't see why you have to lump this putrid piece of shit in with the rest of us portly gentlemen. Kinda childish.

[KingFlorez]

23. typo, that should be weight

Typing fast, didn't catch it

[walldude]

17. Considering that the "bible" was written over 2000 years ago

when people didn't have running fucking water, I doubt anything scientific will pass the "biblical" test. What an asshole.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

20. I seem to recall antibiotics saved his ass; are they biblical?

asshole

[MazeRat7]

21. From my backyard the earth looks pretty flat......

Dont bother me with facts by saying its round ... that just doesn't pass the "smell" test....

22. Good luck walking to work Jerry.

I checked the bible cover to cover and there is no mention of cars. Not a one. WWJDrive? Apparently a donkey. So since it's not in the bible I don't think you should drive any more Jerry. And don't get me started on flying. Real sin there Jerry. Stealing from the angels all that heavier than air magic. sounds like a one way ticket to hell.

Jerry I also hate to mention this but I slipped you that test.

Is it ethically correct?

Is it biblically correct?

Is it morally correct?"

Oh I'm afraid you don't pass Jerry. So sorry. Go to hell.
:nuke:

24. Too bad his Bible DISAGREES with his "life begins at conception" BS.

Falwell FAILS the 'Bible Knowledge' smell test.
They are big on claiming that the Bible is the 100% accurate
word of God. Well, if that's true, then God doesn't consider
an unborn fetus to be equal to a living human:

EXODUS 21: v22-25

22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child,
so that her fruit depart from her,
and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished,
according as the woman's husband will lay upon him;
and he shall pay as the judges determine.

23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

This makes it clear that the pregnant woman is considered a PERSON;
injury to her invokes the "eye for eye- life for life" rule.

But terminating her pregnancy is punishable by a FINE.

[madmusic]

25. Falwell stinks.

That's all.

[Vidar]

27. Falwell--famous for his scratch-and-sniff Bible.

[WernhamHogg]

28. Just once

Just once I'd like to see one of these nuts show that they ACTUALLY "sympathized with those whose conditions could possibly be helped by stem cell research". I guess Jerry has been too busy looking to "out" characters on children's television shows to care about people who are suffering.
