There will always be stupid people, Atheists and believers alike. questioning 6000 members of the American Psychological Association Academics are frequently biased against religion, as the academic climate is usually a liberal one. Some more entertainment from the APA 64.233.179.104 Heterosexual Bias 1. Avoid connotations of voluntary choice that may not be appropriate. For example, use “sexual orientation,” rather than sexual preference.” 2. Omit discussion of marital status unless legal marital relationships are the object of the writing. Marital status per se is not a good indicator of cohabitation. Describing people as married or “single” excludes lesbians, gay men, bisexual persons, and cohabiting heterosexual people. 3. Use sexual terminology that is relevant to lesbians and gay men as well as bisexual and heterosexual people. For example, use “sexual activity,” rather than “sexual intercourse.” 4. Avoid stigmatizing or pathologizing language regarding gay men and lesbians (e.g., “sexual deviate,”“sexual invert”). 5. Use parallel terms when comparing members of different sexual orientation groups. For example, compare lesbians with “heterosexual women,” rather than to “the general public” or “normal women.” 6. Avoid the use of the term “homosexual” and use the more specific terms of “gay men” and “lesbians.”

"Mental health professionals abandoned the demonic infestation theory of mental illness some centuries ago. There are some child illnesses which are invariable fatal, yet are often curable with proper medical attention. But as long as these hazardous religious beliefs exist, some parents will rely upon prayer, and some of their children will die preventable deaths" But savages 2000 years ago believed it. So if Jesus (and company) were right, then the doctors are wrong. And a donkey is still the fastest way to travel. What is the matter with people...REALLY?
