I was asked for my religion today..

philologos

I'm partially in agreement with you in that I believe hospitals are probably better run as multidenominational institutions, but as institutions where faith based services are adequately available. Indeed, doctors should be able to make conscience decisions about the best treatment of their patients.

As for you gurramok, I'm largely on good terms I think, but I think the argument is overly petty. You've moved on from having issues with being asked what religion you are (common question) to leap to other things involving hospitals which don't have anything to do with being asked about your religion or lack thereof.

Yet again you cannot answer a question. Surprise surprise:rolleyes:

Are you saying your Novena's right now and hanging your rosary beads over the screen to beg forgiveness for your sins?

For those who reckon Catholic control of most of the hospitals in the state has been a good/neutral thing I have four words:

"Mother and Child Scheme"

Absolutely. Unfortunately we're at the stage where we have to attach labels to prove to gurramok that we're not covert Catholics :pac:

Just to answer your question, I have already, on several instances, stated that I am a member of an AGI church and as such a Pentecostal Christian (or Evangelical Christian if you wish).

I have one in front of me. But this test was actually for you. If you cant even find - nevermind read, understand & absorb - a publically available (online) document that sets out the basic ethical standards for doctors, your opinions on an questions that centre on medical ethics are essentially worthless.

But I think everyone has realised that already.

Have you been drinking at Santa's bedside? Hohoho

I quoted a line from such guidelines to you earlier in the thread. Here's a cloth to wipe the egg of your face

Novena's? Rosary beads?
I have no need for such things.

I answered your question by the way.

Whats the quota of curses allowed then?

I try my best not to wears, sometimes I get annoyed and fail. Tis the nature of being a human.

As for a quota. Do you have a Quota for the amount of times you have to contradict yourself in a single thread? Is that why you are dragging this on endlessly?

So you can endlessly hurl abuse and curse at me and you take God for granted on his forgiveness. Nice one, very Christian there.

No, I don't have a quota. Don't think I have ever cursed at someone in this thread. You can check that up if you bother to present evidence as we know presenting evidence to back up anything you say is indeed your Achilles Heel.

When grown adults have problems working out the differences between fantasy and reality we lock them up in dundrum.

When we walk into a hospital with a serious medical condition they ask us which fairy tale we have faith in before attending to our medical problem.

life, stranger than fiction.

philologos

ntlbell: Claiming something is fantasy is really limited. One can just as easily claim that atheism is based on a fantasy because it is based on denying God at the core of existence. Such terms are only useful in a childish argument, where one says "You're deluded", "No you're deluded" and so on.

Give us a post when you have something of substance to say.

No big deal. I would of put down Protestant.

Its gets worse than that.

Sometimes people get asked their religion when being selected for juries.

Having one doesnt usually preclude one from serving.

That makes no sense.

Beliving santa doesn't pop down the chimney doesn't make you deluded when santa doesn't really pop down the chimney?

an athiest belive's god does not exist, he doesn't, so how can it be a fantasy?

If you replace _religion_ with anything commonly belived as "fantasy" and you're over 18, you're locked up or put on strong drugs.

Yet when you go to the same place of treatment they ask which of the above fantasy's do you belive in before treatment.

it's frankly bizzare.

You are making a claim, I'd love to see the proof behind it.

philologos

There's a clear difference between Santa and God. In that there is much more that substantiates the Biblical text, and indeed the existence of Jesus (the fullness of God in flesh on this earth) in non-Christian history from the works of Flavius Josephus to the Babylonian Talmud than anything to do with Santa. There is evidence for Jesus as being a historical figure, and indeed on further investigation there is much that would lead to thinking that Jesus Himself is Lord over all.

It's a fantasy with consequences if you are mistaken.

How do you prove something based on faith? Thats the whole point. Its based on faith.

Because there's a book of fairy tales doesn't add any evidence of the existance of god.

You're christian I assume?

Do you know the consquences of all the other religions is that you don't belive in?

Consquences my friend, consequnces. I hope you didn't pick the wrong fairy tale :pac:

In contrast, i've wished every poster to live as long as possible, you can get proof of that in this very thread.



How? I'm from the ghetto, i'm already poor.

So people in the ghetto have the internet available to them 24 hours a day then, hell of a ghetto.

Well done on ignoring the fact that I have mentioned other historical sources apart from the Bible.

Yes.

ntlbell wrote: »

I've read a few. According to Islam I am a person of the book, and will be on the same standing as Muslims on the Day of Judgement. In other faiths which would hold to Reincarnation I get the chance to live as a cockroach if I do what is wrong. But yes, I have a vague familiarity.

I'm not hedging any bets though. I believe that Jesus is Lord, and I believe that there is strong reason for holding the beliefs that I do.
