The only difference is that this guy knows better.

Priests suspect it's a con
Bishops believe it's a con
Cardinals know it's a con
the pope's job is to keep the con going
The only difference is this guy doesn't wear a dress to work.

anyhoo- back to the subject of the thread

Making women 'normal'

Dreger quotes one surgeon, who she asked what he actually knew, scientifically, about the functional physiology of the adult clitoris. She reports: "He looked at me blankly, and then said, 'But we're working on children.' As if they were never going to grow up."

Quite.

Homeopathy thing on BBC Scotland

I think the statement by ont parctitioner in that video very interesting because it highlights the flawed thinking process.

She said that she was providing a different treatment to the accepted and efficacious vaccinations, for parents who choose to use an alternative.

She is entirely right if the parent understands that Homeopathy is functionally identical to choosing no treatment at all.

Of course parents can choose not to vaccinate their children but they should not be encouraged to think that any other unproven (and impossible) treatment is just as good or better.

I am glad I do not pay taxes supporting Scottish quack "medicine".

Avogadro calculated the number of atoms in a mole of material. It is roughly 6.022*10^23 and, in Homeopathy, it represents that the ordinary dilutions yield water without a single atom of the "active" ingredient. More dilutions, that Homeopaths say makes the preparation stronger, just decreases the possibility of a single atom in the solution by another factor of 10.

Good catch, thanks, Diva.

Well, of course I forgot the water memory, my brain is mostly water and, yes, I was once goosed, thank you for remembering.

When will the deluded fuckers learn?

At least three people in London with HIV have died after they stopped taking life saving drugs on the advice of their Evangelical Christian pastors.
The women died after attending churches in London where they were encouraged to stop taking the antiretroviral drugs in the belief that God would heal them.

The BHA is having a pop at the criminal wankers who propagate this bullshit.

‘In a free society, people have the absolute right to believe what they want. However, when those in positions of influence, particularly over very vulnerable people, are promoting false cures through religious practice and even encouraging people to turn away from proper medicine, then more needs to be done. We would like to see the government take steps to expose, condemn and stop these practices which are undoubtedly dangerous and damaging to the public health.’

I'd lurve to see the god-whallopers prosecuted for making false claims and a few evanjellycals spending a few years in a sweaty slammer.

Turds! Then they can pray for god to magically release them like he did for St Peter.
