    I have an M.D. from Harvard, I am board certified in cardio-thoracic medicine and trauma surgery, I have been awarded citations from seven different medical boards in New England, and I am never, ever sick at sea. So I ask you; when someone goes into that chapel and they fall on their knees and they pray to God that their wife doesn't miscarry or that their daughter doesn't bleed to death or that their mother doesn't suffer acute neural trama from postoperative shock, who do you think they're praying to? Now, go ahead and read your Bible, _Dennis_, and you go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle, but if you're looking for God, he was in operating room number two on November 17, and he doesn't like to be second guessed. You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God. ~~ Dr. Jed Hill (Malice 1993)

    This is untrue in the U.S. It is illegal for them to not offer you employment due to your age, religion, sex, race or disability, but they can ask. They tend to not ask it as it could open them up to litigation, but it is not illegal for them to ask.

    Yet to children, what the teacher says, and HOW they say determine an initial belief in the statements being given to them. If a teach stands at the front of a class of impressionable kids and speaks with derision about a topic, the students are damn well going to follow suit. I have a 9 year old, I see this shit all the time and have to spend valuable hours of my life correcting the stupid shit that comes out of these teacher's mouths.

    I was born in Tennessee and was REQUIRED to take and pass a bible course focused on the old testament in order to graduate the 6th grade, this folks, was in '91 in a public school. I moved to Georgia and when we took biology, our teacher was required to state to the class something to the order of: "I am legally required to allow any and all students who are offended by the teaching of evolution, to leave the classroom." Funny thing was, no one left.

    One thing that I will openly give to the Catholic orders, there are many priests that will sit and have intellectual discourse over the concepts bandied about in the bible. I've had many excellent discussions with priests that would infuriate most other religious leaders. In this instance, we're talking about a broad policy handed down by the church, which some orders will follow while others will take as a "suggestion".

    It makes sense as a belief, logically, it does not. But then, I do not pretend to attempt to apply logic to religious beliefs, especially when fanaticism may be involved.

    Honestly I just go with the whole "old man raped a teenage girl to beget a son after he, in a jealous rage, whipes the earth clean. Then, he commits his son to death to atone for the actions of other people. Commands his followers to give their earnings, time and demands they indoctrinate their children as well as others." Hell, if Obama had done any single one of those things, they'd have crucified him in the rose garden.

    When I worked for Kroger Food stores in the 90's, we uploaded that data every single night. We had to take any online register off, close their drawers out and then begin the process of batch totaling and upload of the days sales figures as well as a transaction by transaction record. We could pull up any transaction for the day from the register or from prior dates via logging into the central database.
