Re: A Question for Atheists. Would you get treatment from a doctor who believes in Go
So the real question you're asking is whether or not atheists think people who believe in god are dumb or mentally ill. You're skipping that (presuming it) and therefore your point is invalid. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that you do indeed have a point to make. Anyway, false premise.
As one atheist, I don't presume to know anything about an individual who believes in god. I disagree with them on the issue, but so what? I also think the movie Juno sucks, but I wouldn't refuse to see a doctor who thinks it's the greatest movie of the 21st century. Juno is just a terrible movie. Believing in god is illogical. But so what? On both matters -- if it makes you happy, I'm happy for you. See you on the operating table.
I ask because I see the argument that believers in God are just not that smart, capable or well educated and may even be delusional or mentally ill. Do you trust a doctors that are believers?
Answers are "yes", "no", and "only if there isn't an atheist alternative"
Working on the poll.
