		<description>No Chris, this is not Bob. Bob is incapable of constructing more than one sentence. Same score on the twat-o-meter, though &#8211; a full 10 points!  </description>

		<description>I am going to tell my elderly mother, on the authority of that world-renowned medical expert Brian Gregory, to flush all her expensive and entirely unnecessary  medicines down the toilet, and just ask God to make her better!  Why on earth didn`t we think of that before!! </description>

		<description>OK. So God can go fuck himself. Right? So what is he going to do about it.  
 
Ever heard of Megalencephaly Polymicrogyria Polydactyl Syndrome (MPPS)? Of course you have not you moron. Well my wife, an able, caring doctor and an ATHEIST you idiot is in tears right now and has been for a long time this evening after trying to help a child and his parents who has this condition. Fucking hell, if I could get my hands on you I would tell you a few things about your fucking idiot God. Listen you loathsome nutter. Who ensured that this two year old child and his loving parents are in an agony of grief caused your God? Or does he get excused. Fuck off. I can hardly bear top reply to the vileness of your attitude.   I can&#039;t stomach you or your God.  You can both fuck off.  I </description>

		<description>The character mistranslated as &quot;God&quot; in English bibles is the most sadistic, evil, insane mass murderer in all fiction. Anyone who does not know that either has never read a bible or has no more capacity for rational human thought than a merino sheep.  Hurry back to Bedlam before they give your bed away. </description>

		<description>Wrong - it is God not doctors Who saves lives: even the best doctor in the world can not save a patient if God decides he / she is to be called to His judgement seat nor does the Department of Health have the right to oppose prayer for anyone who does so becomes God&#039;s enemy. Also both you and the Department of Health should check the Human Rights Act which states everyone has the right, alone or in a group, in public or in private, to show their faith which includes praying for others. .

		<description>That seems to be the case, except muslims see him as always having been a muslim on account of his directing people towards the appropriate god. Or something. </description>

		<description>This is all well and good until an atheistic decideds to wind up a Muslim patient by pretending to be an evangelist and quietly explaining that is they don&#039;t accept Jesus as their saviour they will be going to hell.... 
 
But then again ~I seem to remember that the Muslims believe in the second coming of christ, but this time around he will be a Muslim - I&#039;m happy to be corrected on this If I am wrong. </description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think any doctor (or any other medical personnel) should be allowed to mention religion unless the patient brings it up first.  How do they know whether that patient practices a religion different from their own, or no religion at all? </description>

		<description>My sister was plagued by a couple of weird Christian women when she was dying of breast cancer, aged just 33. God knows what they were saying to her, but they spent hours in her room, and my mother, who was staying in the house at the time, was very upset that she couldn`t spend time with her own dying daughter, but was just being used as a skivvy to wait on these two hand and foot! My sister had a husband and four little girls, but these women never offered practical help even once! Having been a member of an evangelical sect myself at one time I can testify that this sort of blinkered, unfeeling, unsympathetic, self-centered behaviour is typical of such people!! </description>
