You act like no doctor has ever misdiagnosed cancer, heart disease, etc...
That's what second opinions are for.
Or, you can just go ahead with your theory bullshit idea that a doctor who is predisposed to a particular idea (religious psychiatrist) is better able to provide an unbiased diagnosis.
isnt atheism being predisposed to a particular idea also they exclude any possibility of God ... the only unbiased view is someone who is open to all possibilities but not particularily for or against . which wouldnt be an atheist or theist . if a psych cant be unbiased i would rather them knowledgeable to the fact that God exists.
yes a doctor without full knowledge of a disease might misdiagnose something thats why people should seek out knowledgeable doctors and psychiatrists so that they wont be misdiagnosed thank you for further clarifying the point i was trying to make and yes getting a second opinion from a more educated doctor is a great idea .
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
