Speaking of 'intelligent design' (and Jesus 'rising' for that matter)...

Brilliant!

He is risen indeed!

Then spake Jesus unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12)

Would you like to see my puppies? (Dodgy Fred : Quarter past six last night)

Just posted this on another thread, but I think it's probably relevant here too...

more important, however, than whether Britons claim to be a member of a church or to have ever gone to a religious service (check the actual wording of the UN report) --


how many Britons have ever tasted haggis?

I recognise several of those.

Eek! That was a 'Post 21'. I recognise several of the godlessgeeks proofs.

Just seen #304

Serious question:

If you were ill and in a hospital bed, how would you react if your doctor knelt at your bedside and began to pray? Obviously there are some caveats here, he doesn't pray aloud but his manner indicates he is trying to contact a higher being. You were not previously aware that this sort of thing might happen and in fact the doctor knows your religious beliefs (or lack of them). Let's say that he thinks you are asleep, if that matters and the two of you are alone.

If I'd only gone in with an ingrown toenail, I'd be totally freaked out.

Seriously - I'd tell him that his behaviour was inappropriate and unprofessional. All though I'd use fewer words than that. And I'd demand a different doctor. One that understood boundaries. I admit it's an odd reaction. Other peoples' superstitions shouldn't matter to me. But all the same.

I'd assume he was mentally ill.

Reminded me of the moment after the birth of first offspring, the nice person recording birth info of parents asked for parents religion, my Doc replied Druid, I corrected him with Odinist then we smiled and said none. Nice person did not smile but went away. Humour used to work in the dim dark past....

And before you jump on me Ed entirely inappropriate behaviour is a common symptom of various psychoses.

Yup! And I should know.

I did rather object to the nice Methodist chaplain having free access to the neo-natal intensive care unit when if we even stepped a couple of inches away from our children's incubators we were told off in case we were infringing upon another child's privacy.
