So since I am not pissed off anymore about as many things as I usually am, I am finding things to piss me off so I can write about them. One of my favorite things to do really, not sure if anyone has noticed.
So I was watching Nip/Tuck since it is now my new favourite show to watch (I know this is an old show, but I never saw it and it is on netflix...) and there is an episode where the teenage character named Matt, son of Shawn, hits someone with his friends car while high on weed (naturally). It was a hit and run but it wasn't on purpose, go watch the show for more details...
Anyhow the girl they hit got pretty fucked up, she was taken to the hospital, they did surgery, but the girl's mother and their religion prevents them from allowing her plastic surgery to fix her fucked up face. So my hatred beam is focused on Christian Scientists. As you have already probably guessed, this sect of Christianity has jack shit to do with science and everything to do with retardation. Apparently Christian Scientists believe that the body should heal itself, so the busted girl from the show was not on pain meds, yummmmyyyy...
The girls mother wouldn't allow plastic surgery because she believed that "prayer" would heal her. Hell I've been doing it all wrong all my life, I should just pray for what I want - oh wait that's right! That doesn't work... I think that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, however some beliefs are just plain stupid. This is not only stupid, but dangerous. The poor girl was going to lose her sight due to the swelling in her face so Matt's father, Shawn, took medical custody of the girl and performed probono surgery on her. Now that is something.
I know this was just a story, but I also know that this shit really happens. I saw it on the discovery channel where some tribe in Indonesia or some shit wouldn't allow their daughter to get life saving surgery because their religious belief didn't allow for it. I call bullshit on this kind of thinking. I hate doctors and hospitals, but if there is a proven method of curing someone of an ailment, then it is inhumane to not let them have it.
So my gripe today is, fuck religions who make their children suffer due to moronic religious beliefs. I will place this in the same category as female circumcision or getting your vagina sewed up before marrying a man to protect your virginity? Or how about those fucked up Mormon tribes that live in compounds who marry and rape 14 year old girls? Its all retarded. This is a black and white argument, I want to see someone defend this and make it sound morally correct. The key point is that a lot of these victims don't have a say in it and that is why it is wrong. If these girls had a choice and willingly did these things then that would be different, but that is seldom the case.
