Christian pediatrician denies child service because parents are tattooed |

A family is turned away by a local pediatrician, they say because of
the way they look.
The doctor said he is just following his beliefs, creating a Christian
atmosphere for his patients.
Tasha Childress said it’s discrimination.
She said Dr. Gary Merrill wouldn’t treat her daughter for an ear
infection because Tasha, the mother, has tattoos.
The writing is on the wall—literally: “This is a private office.
Appearance and behavior standards apply.”
For Dr. Gary Merrill of Christian Medical Services, that means no
tattoos, body piercings, and a host of other requirements—all
standards Merrill has set based upon his Christian faith.
“She had to go that entire night with her ear infection with no
medicine because he has his policy,” Tasha Childress said.
I guess his version of Christianity doesn't include Matthew 7:1

Well good, if he wants to maintain a private business, let him. Without
that nice *public* license to practice medicine.

my ankle :P

What I don't get is that I'm sure that there is still a majority of
intelligent and decent people in the USA. Hell, all my Americans
friends are cool, tolerant, open-minded people... Where are they when
such things happen? Why are Americans accepting to see fellow
Americans denied basics rights just because they are atheists, non-
christians, tatooed, gay, muslim, women who got an abortion or
whatever? Why are Americans so outspoken when it comes to defending
the honour of their country but totally passive when it comes to
defend the very principles this country was built on?

Further down the story states:
""In the same sense that any other business person has the opportunity
to decline service, be it a restaurant if they're not dressed
properly, be it any other type of business," said Dr. Ronald Morton,
Kern County Medical Society."
They should ask Denny's about how well this worked with black people.

Restaurants can't be sued for malpractice. Where in the law does it
call not treating a child with an ear infection due to her mother's
tats proper medical practice?
I hope the mother sues and wins a huge judgment against the doctor.

Isn't that one of the cornerstones of Christianity? Punishing the
child for the "sins" of the parents?
Anyone know which scripture condemns tattoos?

Isn't that one of the cornerstones of Christianity? Punishing the
child for the "sins" of the parents?
Anyone know which scripture condemns tattoos?
“Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on
yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28).

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the
source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a
stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as
good as dead: his eyes are closed." - Albert Einstein

Lev 19:26 Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it. [...]
Lev 19:27 Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the
edges of your beard.
“Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on
yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28).
What's the probability that this 'Christian' follows this other
commandments?
And what would he think about this:
Lev 19:18 Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your
people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

Don't they say that, since Jesus fulfilled the Law, we don't have to
obey it first?
Or that the Law is for Jews, not for Christians?
Or some other self-serving lie?

The Abrahamic superstitions are self-serving from start to finish.
