Jesus gets his Medical License suspended in Tenn.

@wrabbit2000,dirkgently,

While I would agree with wanting caution, and of course I completely disagree with anyone being the reincarnated Jesus etc, I cannot say this might not open a can of worms here.

Was he doing something wrong in his practice? Was there anything surgically wrong with him? Was he mistreating his patients or killing people or any other general difficulty?

Because if he was doing a proper job, this opens a can of worms, one that is quite large. Just because someone "believes" something I don't, really cannot be considered against a person in employment, or licensing, or any other "thing"

I have gone before a psychiatrist and asked for a basic sanity check before. Leaving nothing out of all my thoughts and feelings, all my fears and insecurities.. save for one thing; that I was having dreams and visions I believed to be from God. I never mentioned that, and without saying that one part the doctor said I was more sane than he was..

Now, he did know I believed in God, just not about having dreams and visions that I believed were actually from God.. but I wanted to know.. without that was I actually sane, or maybe perhaps there might be something wrong with me mentally and I just didn't know..

So I asked concerning my sanity... given a cleaner bill of health than he said most people could get..including himself..

so, I had to conclude that there was nothing wrong with my mental state, and the dreams and visions themselves must have another explanation, one that did not involve omg your nuts..Now saying that I must say I did check myself also, my dreams and visions have never said to harm either myself or another human being, nor were they interfering with life or otherwise harmful in some way.. you know, basic logical and reasonable considerations one must take in.

But just because you believe something others might think is "out there" or really just a lot nutty.. doesn't mean that there is necessarily something wrong with you outside of that belief. We ALL have beliefs here and there that, should we allow the world their opinion, would make each and every one of us labeled as nutty.

I think we need to keep jobs and licenses based upon job performance alone really. To do otherwise opens the door to, your a wiccan so you cannot have a license to drive, or your a christian so you cannot be a pharmacist ect..

You have a good point. Also I didn't read long enough to hear that he had actually hurt someone. That right there, the fact he hurt someone, definitely changes the story quite a bit.

I suppose that is my lesson learned from skimming.

I was thinking at the time I wrote it, that he simply had a crazy nutty belief.. and I always worry that the general population uses the complete nuts to take normal people's rights away.

But even then, I suppose you do have a valid point, a bit different from simple belief to you ARE a God or whatever.
