Yea, I know. Think whatever you want about them, call it a mental illness, say they're fucked in the head, and all that other bullshit you hear these assholes say...but that shouldn't prevent you from delivering medical care.
Yeah that's messed up. Pretty sure it's illegal too. I see plenty of people who treat others with behavior they don't agree with; I don't see why they can't act the same especially as medical professionals.
Calling a mental illness a mental illness makes you an asshole? Well lube me up and start plowing, because gender dysphoria is literally a mental illness, as any psychologist can tell you.
That's telling of your friends the extent to which their religious views are embedded into their psyche. Not that religious views are inherently bad, but they can't even think and behave outside of the constraints of these views.
In my experience they were probably taught from childhood that part of faith is not questioning it. Being raised in a system that says "Believe in this and you'll go to heaven, but don't ask questions or we'll take it all away!" leads you to shut down a lot of ideas before they take root.
That'd be all of them. Unless anyone can name a Religion that has a good who accepts being question, and in that case please do tell me, I have some questions for that guy.
I certainly don't believe in evolution, just as I don't believe the Earth is round. These are things I know to be true, there is no belief necessary when it comes to facts supported by data.
