<DIV><FONT size=4>Actually such considerations apply wider to the

<DIV>Let's see.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since Moscow Medical's alleged god is the one who is all-powerful,
all-knowing, and all-good, and since their alleged god allegedly created
everything including sickness and disease, then aren't they defying their
alleged god by attempting to mitigate any sickness and disease? Perhaps
because of this gross disobedience (much worse than Adam's) they will be lava
pool mates in hell with Cultmaster Wilson. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>[Side question: Are Adam and Eve in Heaven or Hell?]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The phrase:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#ff0000>"<STRONG><FONT size=3>We do not believe that sickness
and death are natural processes, but are rather an enemy of God
..."</FONT></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>is quite strange (and indicative of incredible naiveté and
irrationality -- traits one would not hope for in their personal
physician):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If sickness and death is Moscow Medical's alleged
god's enemy, and that god is all-good and all-powerful, why doesn't it/she/he
eliminate them and consequently all the suffering therewith, forthwith without
all the tangles of corrupt, organized religion, and without forcing people to
swallow incredulous, unverifiable, inconsistent tales?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>For the sake of their patients I hope Moscow Medical is
much, much better at practicing medicine then they are of practicing logic,
philosophy, and theology. In my opinion feeding patients superstitious
clap-trap is not only unethical but likely constitutes
malpractice.<BR></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Subject: [Vision2020] A question for Dr. John H. Grauke,
MD</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT size=4>> Vision 2020,<BR>>
<BR>> One of our local physicians asserts the following:<BR>> <BR>> "In
particular, major impact of the newer STDs has been noted on maternal and infant
morbidity and on human reproduction and infertility. 'For I, the Lord your God,
am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the
third and fourth generations of those who hate Me'(Ex. 20:2,3)." --Dr. John H.
Grauke, MD <BR>> <BR>> Hmm...interesting. <BR>> <BR>> Dr. Grauke:
Apparently you think that people who contract STDs hate God. <BR>> <BR>>
Would treating (i.e., helping) such people constitute interference with God's
plan?<BR>> <BR>> Moscow needs to know.<BR>> <BR>> Kirkus
