Dave I couldn't pass this one up! This is for a good laugh only and not intended to slam anyone's religion. The Jews don't recognize Christ . . . The Protestants don't recognize the Pope . . . And two Baptists in a liquor store don't recognize EACH OTHER!

Episcopalians for some reason seem to favor stem cell research (Senator McCain and my old high school friend) Stem cells weren't around when these religions started so there is a difference of opinion among religions, but I do think the core beliefs stay the same I don't think you can be a Muslim and not believe in Allah. If you were a Christian Scientist or follower of Ernest Holmes Religious Science you would believe you could cure yourself. My best friend, a Christian Scientist, who just died of cancer supported stem cell research and thought there was nothing wrong with having an abortion. I don't think these positions had anything to do with CS as Mary Baker Eddy never addressed them. In the end my friend went with aggressive chemo which I never understood. I think the various religions are in the process maybe of establishing their positions on the SC issue. The main opposition seems to be coming from Catholics and evangelicals according to Diane W's posts to me. What faith do you follow Dave?
