Medical doctor hopes Jesus guides his decisions WTF

While taking someone to a local doctor’s office here in Tennessee I was practically floored by seeing the large framed print below hanging in the center of the largest wall.

print of a doctor with jesus over his shoulder guiding him in making a diagnosis on a tough case

In the caption of the picture it says “The Difficult Case” and the illustration clearly shows “Jesus” guiding the doctor to try to find the answer to the medical problem he is trying to solve.  Of course the doctor had his bible next to him as well.

First of all I am thankful this is not my doctor flaunting their irrational beliefs in their waiting room.   This is very tacky for any business like the sign on the garage I saw in Alabama to post on it’s walls.  Anyone with sense would be very disturbed that this doctor, instead of relying on his medical education and experience, hopes that some magical entity would help them perform his doctor’s duties.  However here in the bible belt, people with little sense is far to common, and many visitors would like this painting and prefer this doctor for proudly expressing his beliefs.  Perhaps this doctor is not a fool but rather a smart business man,  either way I wouldn’t risk my health.

    Wow - look how lilly white Jesus is LMAO. It’s just hilarious how southeastern U.S. Christians, with all their inborn bigotry, depict “the lord” as a white guy from Europe.

    This need to sweep under the rug the undoubtedly Arabic heritage of Jesus (had he ever existed in the first place) is just another subtle irony in the whole debacle.

    Great blog by the way. I don’t know if I qualify as an atheist as, frankly, everyone I speak to has a different interpretation on what that means. But I’m DEFINITELY into speaking out against religious intolerance and cult brainwashing. I also live in TN (northeast corner) and I commend you for publishing this blog proudly as a homegrown effort to thwart regional zealotry.
