This is my third time to the office. Im waiting for the Doctor to come in and whie waiting in the examination room, I spot this. I start flipping through it, and I am getting upset.

I wait for the doctor to come in. I immeditely ask him, hey what it this? why is it here? He blew me off and just said "oh its just an opinion piece" and I said, yeah, but who put it here, do you believe in this? And he just shrugged. I said, Im leaving, that is so wierd, thats weird to have in a doctors office. And I left. Ill never go back to that place.

I need a doctor who believes in science. You wanna be christain thats fine, but this literally says,for christain nationalism. gross.

Putnam CT, USA if anyone is curious. I want to post the photo in google maps reviews, but I am afraid to, even with my google account being a burner. Yes, it's the red pocket of an overall blue state, but, I just, was not expecting to see this.

Interestingly, the magazine's editor (who's credited for the "For Christian Nationalism" article), is listed as Catholic in the magazine's Wikipedia page.

First Things is a "Catholic" mag. but they're generally considered on the far right of the spectrum. Hated Pope Francis, think Notre Dame is a liberal haven, etc.

just once I wish the catholics would bring back old school punishments for members of their religion who reject the pope.
