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.

My gyno's office once had an entire stack of Chick Tracts. None like. Super related to the gyno, just random. I had been going to them for awhile so I really doubt it was any of the staff, it was shoved into a corner of the waiting room. My ass took all of them and shoved them into my purse. I love the wretched things to laugh at. I had never managed to see one in person so I was delighted. They never showed up there again.

Thank you for having integrity and getting out of there. We have to stop supporting these people. They must know their ideology won't be supported.

I’m in Trump country and I would still be surprised to see this in a doctor’s office. That’s wild

I'm Done with Notre Dame by Christian Smith

But its written by a smith who's happy he's just finished the repairs and not an anti-Catholic screed

Honestly? Take it with you. Stop the spread.

[–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You know I agree with you in spirit,

however, If I hadnt seen that, I wouldnt have known, and still would be going there.

Fair enough. Just the other day I was off the same mind as you, relieved that the Tesla Cybertruck owners in my area were plastering themselves with a giant sign of their assholery.

When I briefly had Obamacare, I went to the only dr that accepted it in my area. Was a straight fever dream. There was a massive koi pond built into the floor of the place with little bridges crossing it connecting the offices. There was a room where the owner had a massive model ship collection. And All over the walls were signs saying how evolution is a lie. I never returned and canceled my Obamacare. It was so fucking weird.

I have no idea what any of these points mean. Done with Notre dame? What the fuck is this asshole talking about? Who the fuck is Notre dame? Love and mass migration I don't even know where he's going with that, Mass migration is literally the bread and butter of Christian nationalism, opposing it. Nonsense.

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I parse the "Love and Mass Migration" thing pretty easily. A common (and reasonable) rebuttal to these types is to ask, "well how can you love your neighbor as a Christian, when you support the violent deportation of your migrant neighbors?"

I garuntee that article is twisting the concept of Christian love to day that, actually, deportations are loving actually, or somesuch horseshit.

I have Nooo clue about the Notre Dame one. Though I am morbidly curious

*guarantee. No shade, it's a common mistake, I just like being helpful.

As far as the Notre Dame thing? I have no idea. Maybe it's referencing the fire at the Notre Dame back in 2019? A lot of Protestants were basically masturbating over it because they thought it was a sign that God didn't like Catholics.

Edit: Later comment clarified that the author of the article was a prof at Notre Dame. So I'm pretty sure this rag is at the very least Catholic-adjacent.

Can you imagine being so far right-wing that you think Notre Dame isn't conservative enough?

Bill Clinton used to campaign on hiring 100,000 new teachers. Maybe we need a 2028 candidate running on hiring 100,000 new therapists.
