Christian Science Pharmacist Refuses to Fill Any Prescriptions.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

Did anybody else hear about this? It's outrageous, imvho.

[lukasahero]

1. Think maybe they're trying to make a point?

An excellent point indeed if that's what they're doing, then I applaud them.

Do you have a link?

[shoelace414]

2. I asctually wonder how long

before fundie pharmacists stop dispensing AIDS drugs.. because "they don't want to support the gay lifestyle"

[BlueEyedSon]

3. LMAO! It's great work if you can get it!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

45. LOL

:rofl:

[sojourner]

4. link?

interesting, if true!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

7. ...still looking...

[unhappycamper]

5. Is that two oxymorons?

OM1: "Christian Science"
OM2: "Christian Science" + pharmacist

[A-Schwarzenegger]

8. And if he did happen to fill a prescription for Rush,

he would have made an oxymoron happy.

[madeline_con]

6. Fire him..

he needs to get a different job.

[lolly]

42. Good Grief!

It's a take-off on the fundie pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control prescriptions!

Obviously, anyone who really did believe chemical prescriptions were immoral would NOT become a pharmacist.

By extension, anyone singling out 1 particular legal, safe, and widely used prescription and refusing to fill it should NOT become a pharmacist.

9. for someone to be a christian science pharmacist

is like someone being a lactation consultant selling baby formula...it makes NO sense...i think someone has been had

theProdigal

[A-Schwarzenegger]

10. Huh? Ya think?

Now I'm outraged TIMES outraged.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

39. wink wink

:-)

tP

[FreedomAngel82]

22. And people

use birth control pills for other reason's besides sexual issues. Sometimes women need them for menstural business. So if you're denying someone your perscription and you have no where else to go (like if you live in a small town) you could really mess up someone's cycle.

[troubleinwinter]

11. reeaaaal funny (not). There would be nothing to prevent

a Christian Scientist from filling prescriptions. She would not choose to use them herself.

[Bouncy Ball]

12. If you can't do the job, you shouldn't TAKE the job.

[FreedomAngel82]

23. Exactly

There's so much a person can do now days. Wouldn't that lose customers from the pharmacists? Aren't they worried about that and making money for themselves and/or families?

[supernova]

13. Wow! Get paid for NOT doing your job?

How do I get a gig like that?

I wonder how long before he's fired. At least I hope, he'd be fired.

[librechik]

14. this has got to be a hoax.

[ashiebr]

35. And they say Yanks don't get irony!! n/t

[atre]

15. Geez, people... It's a JOKE

A Christian Scientist is a person who, as an article of faith, does not believe in the use of medicines. It is God's will that nature run its course, or so they believe.

[troubleinwinter]

19. Yeah... I know. See #11. Funny-not, depending on how much

BS 'funny' crap people say about one. Gay jokes, racial jokes, religious jokes, all just a real riot, huh? Just look how many on this thread took it as true.

It would have been more lightly taken, had the original poster not presented it as truthful.

Is this what we do here? Ridicule and tell racial, gay and religious jokes? I haven't seen racial jokes, but I have been truly sickened at comments made as "funny" regarding gays here, lately.

I would have thought this would be a place of tolerance. It is looking like a place of bigotry.

[WillowTree]

48. Yes.

Sadly, that's exactly what many do here. So much for tolerance.

[troubleinwinter]

20. You do not have that correct.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

24. Please take yourself more seriously.

You can do it.

[troubleinwinter]

28. Heh.

You are a complete riot of "undeclared" gender, making a religious "joke", while presenting it as fact. FAR FUCKIN'OUT, DUDE! Wooo! Yer funnnnny!

Until you have something of substance to say on the matter, why don't you go play outside.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

26. It can't be that simple.

Can it?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

29. I asked this to be moved to the quicksand Lounge.

I cannot believe anybody would take this seriously
or see it as an insult against anybody or anything.
I am just as sorry as sorry can be.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE PHARMACIST?????!!!!!

[troubleinwinter]

33. That's cool.

I also asked that it be moved. Deleted, actually.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ASTRONOMER!? CHRISTIAN SCIENCE PHYSICIST?! CHRISTIAN SCIENCE NURSES?!

I know all of these people.

[KamaAina]

16. Feminist pharmacist refuses to fill prescriptions for Viagra

Gov. Schwarzenegger threatens to call out the National Guard if she persists.

:-)

[warrior1]

17. So why is he a pharmacist?

The question begging for an answer. And it's not like when you climb the mountain cuz it's there...

[Deja Q]

38. Why do republicans run for office when they prefer smaller government?

To dismantle from within. Like a virus does to an organism.

[SoCalDem]

18. Why would you even BECOME a pharmacist if you can't fill them?

Kind of like a surgeon who's afraid to see blood:) or a frigid prostitute:)

[Beaverhausen]

21. Doesn't this belong in the Lounge?

along with several other bogus threads you started this week?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

25. The Lounge sucks, Beaver.

It's not funny any more. Whereas, GD ....
What "several other threads," Beaver? The Dr. Phil thread
was a terrible mistake, I agree, and brought a lot of abuse
upon a good man who has done nothing but help people around
the world, Beaver.

[Generic Other]

31. Naughty boy! Enough of this triteness!

Nanny and Shriveled Shriver are looking for you.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

32. Where's the Religious Bigotry Corner?

Sheesh.

[Generic Other]

34. Nanny says no one should ever be allowed to mention religion in public

ever ever ever. Airbrushed out of the public eye like an errant nipple.

[KG]

27. more Christian Science Pharmacist bashing?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

30. !

I'm ruthless.

[troubleinwinter]

36. Hey, A-Sh...tz..

PM me yer addy (or we'll work out a different way). I propose to purchase you a gift subscription to the Christian Science Monitor newspaper. Ever read it?

[UdoKier]

37. LOL -must be the Onion.

NT

[DocSavage]

40. Got a link

or any other info?

[tsuki]

41. Why would they go into the field? eom

[Cha]

43. That's an oxymoron..

Christian Scientist Pharmicist.

[silverweb]

44. Check this out.

One "testimonial" of a pharmacist who converted to Christian Science and a lot of speculative bits about "what if" ....

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=christian+scientist+pharmacist

[troubleinwinter]

46. WHAT "LOT of speculative bits about 'what if'"????

The person indicates he had had a great deal of "love for, and faith in doctors". There is ZERO mention of "what if"(WTF??!!!). He says nothing about refusing to fill prescriptions! GEEZ! He speaks of a personal, private spiritual matter. I also note that this was written in 1919.

This whole thread is dumbass. No Christian Scientist has ever lobbied anyone that people shouldn't use what ever medical remedies or treatment they choose. None has ever knocked on your door to proselytize to you. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT accepted that parents may withhold medical treatment from minor children.

But, hey, we here at DU have decided we can just mischaracterize whatever religion we care to. It's the new "black".

[silverweb]

47. Whoa, there.

You seem to have read only the first testimonial at the top of the list about one pharmacist's conversion to Christian Science. The other links are all non-fact-based speculation about "what if" there was a Christian Scientist pharmacist.

Either you missed my point or I'm missing yours -- but you sure sound like you're on the attack for the wrong reason.
