how do we get them to buy in to this

the following 2 posts outline my proposed solution to the problem of
religious fundamentalism in this country. if they buy one argument, they
might buy the other, and then it's just like lemmings!

my backup plan is that doctors and other scientifically-trained service
providers are just plain too nice. the fundies want doctors and
pharmacists to have the right to "conscientious objection" to not treat
lesbians for fertility or dispense birth control. why not let the sane
doctors exercise their conscience as well.

if you come in for a service or a treatment and you deny the fundamental
principles of the science on which your treatment is based, why not make
you use homeopathy or some other faith-based treatment, rather than modern
medicine. broken arm? shot in the chest? no problem, i've got this really
dilute solution here for you... what, this trauma center? that's only
for people who can understand the boundary between their religion and
their science.

same
with tvs and computers and cars and all the other things developed by
science. the doctors would really get them though...

Apparently there was a Doonesbury cartoon about this...
