Without knowing your sample size or how religious qualifies as "quite", I'd have to say that your data is anecdotal. I've always understood that the percentage of people professing religious beliefs is independent of profession, but I couldn't quote a source on that.<BR/><BR/>Second, "anti-pro-choice"?? Can't you just say anti-choice if you can't bring yourself to calling them "pro-life"? Personally, I prefer to refer to people in the way that they refer to themselves whenever possible.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06225141731323795678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25327006.post-4343862904964447612007-07-10T05:12:00.000-05:002007-07-10T05:12:00.000-05:00I think that modern medical practitioners all over...I think that modern medical practitioners all over the world have lost touch with science. Medical practice turned scientific in the early 17th century. But are we now looking at a reversal of that trend?<BR/><BR/>I dont think general medical 'practice' is a scientific practice anymore. Infact I think doctors are more like call center operators in that they follow a preset decision tree. They dont necessarily have to understand the 'process' but just look for effects of treatment.<BR/><BR/>There were doctors involved in the recent terrorist attacks by radical islamists in the UK. Why did that come as a surprise? A huge majority of doctors and surgeons I know profess to be quite religious. Some even dispute evolution and believe in creationism. A lot of them are anti-pro-choice and many think stem cell research is just a fad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25327006.post-59818722892871239052007-07-10T04:04:00.000-05:002007-07-10T04:04:00.000-05:00I think B would be perfectly appropriate provided ...I think B would be perfectly appropriate provided the exorcism was conducted using a modern hospital and cutting edge medical exorcism techniques.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126750605069711353noreply@blogger.com
