Actually, modern humans work longer hours than Egyptian slaves, but the work is more mental (number crunching or sitting around waiting for a customer, depending on class) than physical. And by “just to stay alive,” I’m assuming you mean “only because the men with guns/swords/knives/sharpened tigerbones tell them to,” because very nearly all tribal peoples […]

“I am SO waiting for someone to prove to me how living things came about (evolved) from nonliving substances.”

Chico, the most private of private hospitals are ALL required to abide by governmental regulations. This is what causes so many of them to go out of business when they are overwhelmed by border-jumpers and lazy bums. They just don’t have the $$$ to do what the bureaucrats tell them to do! […]

“If you’d put down your precious little book for a while and take some time to learn how things ACTUALLY work, you’d see that”
I stand by what I said. As long as someone disagrees with anything radical pop atheists say, they’re automatically labeled a religious nut.
Like it or not dude, there are plenty of […]

Even good docs and relatively decent health care plans can’t guarantee easy in-easy out. I have relatives on both sides of the US / Canada border, and I would much rather remain on the south side. New patient appointments are usually the longest ones — several months in some cases, but when […]

@DjOverEZ
In my opinion, organized religion is a horrible, horrible thing.
Faith, on the other hand, is fine. If a person has faith, I have no problems with it. If they have religion (”I found god!”), you can expect to hear about it. I don’t want to hear about it.
Proselytizing isn’t endorsed by true Christianity, even:
Matthew 6:5-6: […]

Bury this.
It’s an undocumented list of correlations, not causations. For instance: #6, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: there is only correlation with weight and PCOS, not causation. In fact, most doctors believe that insulin resistance, which can lead to obesity, is a factor in causing PCOS. Which means that people actually gain weight because […]

Disconnecting is highly recommended, you’ll be surprised how therapeutic it is.
I loitered in Chevelon Canyon, AZ in July for 14 days with no schedule or agenda. Hiked some game trails, watched some sunsets from high perches, read a couple books, evaded pursuit by a bull elk. Was a little boring at times, but it was […]

My point in all this is that to make a law that denies a person a certain occupation based on their religion is something people in other countries can freely do. I feel it’s stupid unwise, and in the end against my very beliefs.
In this case, I believe that its ok for a Doctor […]

I think the point we are disagreeing on is the point of what the doctor’s job is. First of all I completely agree that a pharmacist has no right to refuse to give some one a doctor prescribed drug, ever. I just believe that a doctor who has morals against abortion should not be forced […]
