Thrive to spite them

I went off on an intern at a previous job. Our department head had recently lost her mother and was going through a really rough time and was depressed. She took a leave of absence that was about 6 months and everyone was really understanding about it.

Everyone but the intern. Who told me that the Department Head (a religous woman) should be turning to God and not be using therapy or medicine. Especially not medicine. She even told me about a friend of hers who was going through a rough time and wanted to talk to Intern. and the Intern told her friend that she wouldn't talk to her, she needed to pray and talk to God.

That did not sit well with me at all. I asked her if she took penecillin or if our department head had cancer would she be against the Dept Head getting chemo.

Of course she wouldn't be against that. So I told her therapy and meds for mental health are the same time.

Besides, God made people smart enough to figure this all out and discover medicine and therapies so how could she say that going to therapy and taking anti depressants wasn't God's Will.

That's not just somebody. That's the Bloggess, she of "15 is giant metal chicken" fame.

A precursor of cyanide, at that. Cyanide is what I usually use to demonstrate that natural does not been harmless.

Always Anti-fascist!

The God thing reminds me of that joke "I sent you the plane, the boat, and the helicopter." I don't know who that is, JZ, but as a Bayliss girl, I'm very sensitive to crush objects named "Timmy" Man, I sound like the reason KO can't have nice things.

erika, Timmy is Tim Lincecum, the tall gangly adorable kid genius pitcher. I just want to pinch his gaunt little cheeks and smish him forever.

Sometimes I ask people who talk about "God's plan" if he might have planned for a certain percentage of people to be homosexual as a means of population control.
