AtheistThis is my third time to the office. Im waiting for the Doctor to come in and whie waiting in the examination room, I spot this. I start flipping through it, and I am getting upset.
I wait for the doctor to come in. I immeditely ask him, hey what it this? why is it here? He blew me off and just said "oh its just an opinion piece" and I said, yeah, but who put it here, do you believe in this? And he just shrugged. I said, Im leaving, that is so wierd, thats weird to have in a doctors office. And I left. Ill never go back to that place.
I need a doctor who believes in science. You wanna be christain thats fine, but this literally says,for christain nationalism. gross.
Putnam CT, USA if anyone is curious. I want to post the photo in google maps reviews, but I am afraid to, even with my google account being a burner. Yes, it's the red pocket of an overall blue state, but, I just, was not expecting to see this.
Great job asking about it.
while I believe in everyone's freedom to practice whatever the hell religion they want, i question the intelligence of anyone who believes this type of shit, not to mention the politics and ethics of someone putting out this of literature in their place of business. it's pretty stupid
I mean that's horrifying. How can you trust your care to someone who believes you should be exterminated or at the very least forcefully subjugated and converted?
I'm Done with Notre Dame by Christian Smith
But its written by a smith who's happy he's just finished the repairs and not an anti-Catholic screed
Bravo for accepting the inconvenience of actually leaving and making the statement.
In aggregate, it changes things from the bottom up.
I did appreciate the doctors deafeated expression he wore apon his face and I walked out.
If he denounced it, or explained something..maybe.. but, he blew off my concern and shrugged. No. Plenty of other doctors around, I was driving pretty far anyway.
Name and shame
went to edit it, and fucking deleted it. oops
just wanted to add, if I ever doxx myself, just know, my credit score is about 300, I dont have a bank account, and if you show up tp my door I will simply force feed you supper and snacks until you roll away back from wence you came ;)
I’m from the area and we always called it Dey Killem, because if you had a heart attack, you were better off trying to make it to Manchester hospital.
Dude did you not check their ratings before you went? 3.1 is a major red flag?
Another hint is look for "LGBTQ+ Friendly" in the listing. That's the easiest way to determine whether or not a doctor believes in science.
So, most of the reviews are for the only brown lady in the place. She was lovely with me, this is a racist area, so...I ignored them. I did notice she had a cross on her neck, but thought not much of it. Until today, I saw some dude, O'neil. Idk who's room it was, but either way..
learned my lesson, both you and my husband are right lol
Funny, when i search for this clinic, it has only 1.5 of 5 stars on Google
Note how there is a piece highlighted on the cover against Notre Dame, a Catholic university. It isn’t simply being Christian that these people want.
No shit.
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all worship the same God, and often respect each other's important figures as at least prophets.
If one of the three ever "won" and replaced the other two, the very next act would be going after a minor branch of their own religion.
The details they squabble over are already super minor, and basically come down to speaking different languages.
It doesn't have anything to do with religion, it's the power structure and people abusing others faith to convince them to do horrible shit.
It has everything to do with religion. without these made up stories, not a single justification would be left for all the shit these people have done over the years. zero.
If it wasn't religion, they'd exploit something else.
You still think the people in charge of these movements actually give a fuck about the movement.
They're just looking for a way to manipulate people. Religion might be the most common right now, but there's other options that work just as well.
not a single justification would be left for all the shit these people have done over the years.
Do you not know what racism is?
The justification doesn't matter because it's always bullshit. Getting rid of the justification doesn't solve the problem, it just replaced it with a different justification.
What you're advocating for is perpetual whack a mole that doesn't solve anything.
If it wasn’t religion, they’d exploit something else.
It's gonna be harder to exploit something that is not based on "trust me bro". Exploit what? Science? Fine. Reason? Ok.
Religion is THE tool for exploitation. You can lie to yourself, and that's what you've been trained for (Yes, I assume you are at least somewhat religious. Only religious people defend religion).
Do you not know what racism is?
I do. And its origins are deeply rooted in religion. Lots of litterature about that.
So I'm not saying it's a magical bullet. But if we stop teaching people shit like "faith", we may have fucking chance of making it. Religions are not defendable anymore, it's a cancer, and it must be abolished.
I do not respect religion.
It’s gonna be harder to exploit something that is based on anything other than “trust me bro”.
I legitimately can't tell if that's a typo or a real opinion...
But either way, I can't see this being productive.
Interestingly, the magazine's editor (who's credited for the "For Christian Nationalism" article), is listed as Catholic in the magazine's Wikipedia page.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Things
First Things is a "Catholic" mag. but they're generally considered on the far right of the spectrum. Hated Pope Francis, think Notre Dame is a liberal haven, etc.
Oh I'm an idiot. I thought they were mad at the cathedral.
Little surprising it was in CT of all places.
Thank you for having integrity and getting out of there. We have to stop supporting these people. They must know their ideology won't be supported.
Thanks for having principles!
Ngl, I'm vaguely curious what they'd be saying in the "Love and Mass Migration" article. Like, is it okay to import a citizenship-seeking tradwife from another country if none of the libgirls in the States want you?
Spoiler alert: it is racist drivel
I regret not stealing it. lol I am curious too. I read a bit inside, but it all happened so fast I dont remember what it said. Just that I didnt like it.
Alternatively, you keep this doctor, steal the fascist propaganda and leave anarchist propaganda instead.
problem here is your doctor is someone who is fine with that being in the waiting room. Why do you need birth control. Your married. Why do you need birth control. Your not married.
