I feel like this should be posted or published somewhere, like lj's ontd_political. Its an important read.

Seconding the vote for ontd_political and anywhere else it might be read.

[jimkeller]

I've posted a link on my facebook. Unfortunately, ONTD is just too active for me to follow, and I'd feel like a jerk joining to post and then leaving.

[bowtomecha]

Is this an open post? Can I link this to somebody?

[jimkeller]

Yes, it's a public post. Please feel free to share it as you feel is appropriate.

And thank you.

My dentist doesn't even have such affiliations listed online anywhere that I can find.

[jimkeller]

Many don't. We also used the "doctor locator" option (which I'm assuming is a pay-for-placement service, as it's clearly not complete) on the CMDA's website to create an elimination list.

Horrifying.

I was pleased to say that my oral surgeon, though devoutly religious (and the nicest man in the world) was not a member of this group.

I do wish our insurance let us drive out to where you are. It would totally be worth the commute.

In that case I wonder why he's a member of the Christian Medical Association. What does he get out of it?

[jimkeller]

Exactly.

I'm also infuriated by the continual co-opting of the word "Christian" by organizations that so clearly missed the point of what Jesus taught...
