Judge not, lest ye be judged

It's good to see that the Christians are expanding their scope of prejudice from that of judging those who live a moral life but don't "believe" to now making assumptions based on appearance. Where do I sign up?

 

"A Christian atmosphere" says the doctor, with a straight face. Obviously, anyone with a tattoo is going to hell. Why waste precious time on them? <_<

Anyone with tattoos or WHO CHEWS GUM. From the link:
Merrill said he will continue to enforce the rules he has in place, which even include no chewing gum in his office.

I think that goes back to the biblical saying: let he who is without gum enter the doctor's office.

 

Let me start off by stating, for the record, that i think the doctor is a jack nice person.

That being said, he has a perfectly valid point - it's his option who to treat and who not to treat. In the interest of sporting a "family friendly" atmosphere, i've seen different places refuse service to a wide variety of individuals with tattoos, piercings, objectionable clothing or hair styles.

In our country, it's perfectly within their right to set a standard for their customers. They offer more than just a doctors office to their select group of customers.

 

What wonderful values and beliefs that doctor has that would allow him to choose not to treat an innocent child who had been suffering with pain an entire night.

Will he also refuse to allow African American, Asian or Hispanic patients in his office to ensure the patients he does accept a more "comfortable" atmosphere?

 

I guess if they had leprosy instead of tattoos he would service them, leprosy is in the bible.

 

What a nit.

If Jesus was here today, He would have tats. At the very least.

Why are people surprised? Lots of racists call themselves christians, yet they continue to be accepted into the flock because they are christians.

 

The doctor's judgmental, closed minded thinking is the very reason why I choose not to be involved in organized religion.

 

Does he share an office with DBermanMD?

 

Could anyone enlighten me as to where the Bible condems tattos?

Hmm, interesting. And none of these posts are judgmental, by your estimation?

No, they are opinions.

 

If a person spewed racial epithets, spewed anti-semitism, and spewed other awful things and then told a newspaper he was a "liberal", or a 'democrat", would all of you switch to conservatism or republican. HOW IGNORANT of you to use this persons claim of Christianity to condemn Christianity.

This is, at its base, a case of private enterprise expressing private opinions. He will suffer the consequences that he deserves....which, BTW, may be an upswing of business from customers tired of being around people THEY don't like.

Thank GOD, in this country we can still "freely associate".
