I had along-overdue visit with the eye doctor yesterday, though it turns out my
glasses prescription hasn't changed (I'm nearsighted), so the delay was of no
consequence. I forgot, however, to try to satisfy my curiosity when he asked me
if I had any questions, because I wanted to ask him his thoughts on that LASER
eye surgery (I'm guessing he gets that a lot). I will follow-up with him on this
directly soon enough, but I decided to lay some groundwork on the web...
searching for "LASER eye surgery problems" (naturally the aspect of this I am
most curious about) turned up enough of an abundance of results to turn anyone
off to the prospect. A more refined search for "Custom LASIK problems" was much
less pessimistic, though, with the majority of hits from eye doctor sites
discussing potential complications. Along the way I learned that the Custom
LASIK is also capable of coping with astigmatisms too (though mine is considered
quite mild to start with), so it's possible I'm a candidate for this. At this
point I admit to still being a bit doubtful about all this... I'm not much of a
gambler, and I'm reluctant to risk my vision in order to take the chance on
improving it, but I am still tugged by curiosity, so if anyone has any links or
information about the pros and cons of this procedure, I'd be very interested.

" imposing laws in the realm of religion "
uh... ok. This dude willfully disobeyed three local laws when he put his sign up. Because the sign had a religious meaning, doesn't mean it's immune to law.
Keeping Christmas out of public schools, and out of the public eye does not equate to government interference with your religion. No where in your bible does it say: "Thou must publicly celebrate Christmas, in in celebration erect scenes of my sons birth" or anyghing like it, except that part about spreading the word of god. You are still allowed to practice Christmas as an event, and I think that putting wholly inaccurate historical depictions in public is a practice the government has every business putting an end to.
Despite all the " imposing laws in the realm of religion " you interpret government actions as doing, religion still has absolutely no place in morally legislating behavior for the public.
Thats some nice scripture you repeated there, but it doesn't exactly answer to the fact that fanatic mongos who'd interpret that scripture as "Enslave the entire race for profit, pay them a penny per day for our own conscience's sake" are the same mongos who'd make to interpret "christian morality" into law for all of us. I don't give a fuck what the bible says about it, when you have the crown prince of darkness waving it around for his own devices, he does not become a holy man, nor does his mission from god become a holy crusade - but he'd sure the fuck have us all believe it is.
Do yourself a favor, and go to a library to study the history of the bible. Your running to pro-Christian site afer pro-Christian site to copy and paste representations of single facts which bolster a particular argument is not going to provide you with the truth you so desperately seek. You need unbiased information, not horn-tooting information.
The companies will be very pleased. |
