Fundie logic: When your side is losing the argument, just make sh*t up.....
Sorry fundies, but the 30,000 people you had send in their comments don't represent the American public.

:freak: :freak: :freak:



from fundie nut central, the American Family Assn.:



Public ignored; full steam ahead for embryonic sacrifice
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 7/8/2009 5:00:00 AM


The National Institutes of Health has issued guidelines for research on human embryos. One pro-family spokesman accuses NIH of ignoring the public on the matter.

The guidelines, which are based on a presidential executive order, open the door for research that pro-life groups have fought against for years. Dr. David Prentice of the Family Research Council tells OneNewsNow those guidelines set up a system that creates an incentive for embryonic sacrifice. He goes on to say NIH simply did not listen to the public.

"Of the 49,000 comments they got, 30,000 told them not to fund any human embryo research (using federal funds). The acting director of the NIH said they just ignored those comments," Prentice notes. "(So) the question wasn't whether to fund it, but how to go about sacrificing embryos."

Prentice adds those figures show America is still strongly pro-life. "And (that) they want our taxpayer funds going towards successful and ethical adult stem-cell research -- the stuff that is already helping patients now," he emphasizes.

Adult stem-cell research, which does not involve killing a tiny human being, is now being used to help more than 70 documented medical conditions and diseases. Research on human embryos, in contrast, has produced no useable results.

1. I love that. "Pro-family."
It's interesting how they call their position "pro-family" when really all it is is an excuse to be a bigoted, hateful shell of a person who doesn't believe children should grow up in anything but WASP homes.

2. OneNewsNow is aptly named. They only have one basic story,
which they repeat endlessly.

3. Good old dispensationalism
It allows you to dispense with all the laws of man and god if your motives are pure and your lip service to the glory of your personal saviour, Jebus, constant.

They are ready to lie, cheat, steal and kill because they know Jebus has already punched their tickets for heaven and they have nothing to fear but martyrdom to the laws of man.

If there is any truth to the stuff at all, people finding the afterlife they're expecting to find, they'll be in the arms of Falwell, who will spend eternity convincing them it's really heaven, just unseasonably warm.
