Why would it matter if doctors believe in God or not?

And since it's still lower than the regular population it really doesn't mean anything. Way to go fishing with a retarded article.

Way to take a retarded stance on the issue. And I wasn't "fishing," Einstein... it was the top Article on Yahoo news a couple hours ago.

But while medicine is science-based, doctors differ from scientists who work primarily in a laboratory setting, and their direct contact with patients in life-and-death situations may explain the differing views, Curlin said.

Makes sense. I would imagine it would take the edge off the more tragic aspects of their profession.

And help explain the miraculous events they witness first hand.

And help explain the miraculous events they witness first hand.

I hate when people "thank God" for stuff. Like my mother saying, "I brought you up as a single mother and you turned out great, Thank God for that" to which I reply, "actually I thiink I'll thank you because God probably had nothing to do with it". Or when they found that boyscout in the woods after 4 days and his dad says, "it was divine intervention!"

Ginz,

You will burn in hell and you mother obviously was high on crack when she told you that you turned out great.

Minda I know this has been debated but just so I'm clear,

Your opinion is if you believe in evolution means you can not believe in god?

Clakar, no I'm not saying that. If you want to talk about it please PM me. I don't want to get into it here again. I'll just summarize my beliefs in 3 succinct points here:

A. I don't believe the earth is 300+million years old.
B. I don't believe man evolved from mudskipper-to<insert other animal here>-to<insert primate here>-to-<modern day homonid>
C. I don't believe that the "big bang" occurred.

Don't put words in my mouth, jerkass.

ok, so the percentage of religious doctors is roughly equivalent to percentage of the general populace that's religious

seems mind blowing to me

by **ClakarEQ** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 8:48 am

Point taken Mindia, I don't want to derail just wanted to be clear

I read that article off MSNBC yesterday and it didn't come across to me as "strikeing".

My aunt is a doctor and is Christian because she was raised as such. Another doctor in her practice is agnostic because, like me, he turned from the church when they started differing from his viewpoint.

It's all in how you are raised, not what profession you are in. They are just regular people like you or me.

Boring article.

by **Narrock** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 1:31 pm

I liked the article. To me, it shows a lot of atheist/agnostic knuckleheads that VERY intelligent people believe in God, and so it should make something stir in their heads, like "hmm, if scientists, doctors, and astrophysicists believe in God... why don't I?" I like articles that make people THINK.

by **Yamori** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 1:35 pm

Because we all know experts on health and medicine know a lot about metaphysics. :ugh:

by **Darcler** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 1:38 pm

I believe in what I believe in, because it is what sounds best to me. I'm sure you are the same way, Mindia. I dont believe in something because a doctor does, or because my parents do, or because the president does.

I think it's deplorable that you refer to atheists and agnostics as "knuckleheads".

You are a penis. Plain and simple.

Yet if I could draw a direct correlation between IQ and Atheism it wouldn't make you think at all.

by **Agrajag** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 2:33 pm

There are plenty of VERY intelligent people who don't believe in God. Does that stir something in your head, Mindia, like "hmm, if some scientists, doctors and astrophysicists DON'T believe in God, why should I?"I don't like people who are incapable of thinking for themselves... Mindia...

I already knew that there's quite a few intelligent people who are atheists. I'm not debating that point. The point that you are missing is that all too many atheists think they are "one up" on Christians and think they are superior for some bizarre twisted reason. When I see articles like this it give me that warm, fuzzy feeling.

by **Agrajag** » Thu Jun 23, 2005 3:25 pm

What I persieved from your post was that since these prominent people believed that should make everyone that doesn't, believe.

I, as an atheist, do not feel that I am one up on someone who finds personal gratification from believing and finding salvation in their faith. I do find it appalling that some of those people find it necessary to push their beliefs on someone who belives differently.

Who is pushing their belief on anybody?

Uh, you and your ilk by trying to get laws passed that are based on Christian teachings and morals, when those of us who are NOT Christian may completely disagree with them. We have no issue with you living your life in your way, we simply do not want you and the radical religious right trying to force US to live your way, even though we believe differently than you, which is what happens if such laws are passed.
