A section from Sam Harris' talk at the Beyond Belief 2 conference. Harris argues that religion obscures moral intuitions, using the case of stem cells.

Funny how the ranting atheists always blame the religious ppl for everything. A poll here in the US was done on this which showed an overwhelming majority of Christians were "for" stem cell research. Most atheists know this by now. Proves how ill informed this guy is. BTW, being pro-life has nothing 2 do with the Bible/religion. It says nothing about abortion in the Bible. But abortion is murder, plain and simple, & ppl have a right 2 B against it.

Embryonic or adult stem cell research? The christians I know are all against embryonic stem cell research.

This is perhaps the best thing I have read in years.

well said.I can't understand how some people would listen to pro-life ranters who shout their arguments over such a calm and collected voice such as this,communicated with a clear-to-see line of reasoning.
Remember farryakafaz, Christians don't oppose embryonic stem cell research only because of the possibility of a soul being in the embryo. They also oppose it because IT MAY ACTUALLY ALLEVIATE SUFFERING! They don't really want that. Try googling ..."catholic church value of suffering" Sadism is A PART OF THEIR "FAITH"
