*Translated hopefuly correlty

-I tyred to help a tenager who aperntlu uncoses fore any reaon yesterday.
He tryed to help a teenager who apparently was unconsius(IE knocked out) for some reason yesterday

- Du was asked by one of his frend to stop helping him. Jesus wod take care of him.
Someone asked him, one of his friends it seems to stop helping him because Jesus would

-I ingnored the "B****" and cayed on my first aid wile my wife caled in an abulanse.
He ignored the Fundmentalist/Crazy person, he calls him somthing else which needs on translation so he preformed First aid and his Wife called 911


-Then he aksed why i did agiens gods will.

stupidely i said that i dident beliv in god. " Then he starde to hit me. An we started to figth.

He ask him(The fundie Asked) why did he go aginst Gods will, And our poster here replyed he did not belive in god, At which point the Fundie turned Violent and starting hiting him and the got into a fight

-my withe tok over the teenager until he receed hospital and i wereseld thr loony with an male nurse that came with abulanse.

His wife took went with the Teenager untill he was in the Hopstial and somthing.. I'm not sure, somthing happend to the Fundie, I think the Amublance Driver or acutaly one of the Ride along guys saw them fighting, I think thats what he ment

-My wifhe is an ER-nurse and I am a fist aid thecher. my wife si aldo pregnat i the 8th mouth thats why thy canged places.
Hmm ok his Wife is an ER-Nurse and he teaches first aid it seems, whatever that means and his wife is pregnate, I don't know what the last part means the why they canged places bit

-Evently the police came on took the loony away.

Wath is in the bibel that make cristians not take care of there frinds?

Ahh easy enough the Cops got the Fundie and he's asking us what in the Bible says to refuse Medical Treatment

Hope this helps everyone else while they try and answear his question

Might have been part of the Christian Scientist sect. They believe that prayer will heal all wounds and that medicine is the devil.(or something like that)

Or was that the scientoligists?

Perhaps they should all wear bracelets that say "I'm a fundie moron, don't give me medical aid for any reason."

Thanks for the translation Beano.

And I don't anywhere in the Bible where it says to refuse medical treatment.

I think I have an idea

Post by Patrick Degan »

There is nothing in the bible saying that a person should refuse medical treatment. Jesus certainly says nothing about that.

But I think I have an idea as to where some of these über-Fundies are mining this particular idiocy from: the story of the old crippled woman who came up and touched Jesus in the hope that the mere contact would heal her. In the biblical story if you recall, Jesus felt the power flow out of him and the old woman was cured, because her faith that it would be so permitted the miracle.

This is what I believe is the basis for the belief in spiritual healing; counting on faith alone to bring about the cure. And for this, some of them will sit by and watch their kids/wives/husbands/loved ones die slowly and needlessly.

The paper had an article in the weekend magazine about courses for converting Muslims. It turns out that they're legal (in the US at least).

After reading that I had a few thoughts:

Thought 1: When I become dictator of Australia, I'll ban that kind of stuff.

Thought 2: The following groups might dislike it:
  • Those who are attepting to convert others (They will see Australia as a hard case, and will redouble their efforts).

    Moderate Religious people (they will feel unfairly discriminated against by being lumped in the same group as the Fundamentalist dipshits).

    Those being preached at (see first point).

    Me. The above three groups will complain about it, and of course they'll expect me to do something about it, so I'd have to order a few massacres of Christians and the like to keep it quiet, and that's really not very efficient.)
So I decided against it.

I think part of it may also be the fact that science tends to draw people away from Christianity. Science is therefore viewed as evil, and the Bible contains a lot of phrases supporting this kind of mentality, attacking so-called "worldly wisdom" as falsehoods which lead you away from God. Why else do the Amish live that ridiculous archaic lifestyle of theirs?

Since technology (including medical technology) is perceived as science-related, it falls under the same prohibition for some people. They just draw a different arbitrary "science vs religion" line in the sand than the Amish do.

That's just as dumb as the Jehova's Witnessess refusal for blood transfusions...they equate that to "eating blood."
