The Heathens: So-called "christians"

[America-Hye]

Arpa,

 

He IS doing good works in Armenia. My problem is NOT with that. My problem is that he does not treat his paying patients with the same level of care that he treats his non -paying patients in Armenia. It is also the arrogance of his demeanor, which is similar to SO many of his profession, and his TOTAL lack of sensitivity. I compare this with Louise Manoogian Simone, a woman of means, who neverthelss has not lost her humanity in dealing with her fellow Armenians, either in the ROA or in her daily life.

I was at an event this last June 6, where this particular doctor was honored by an address from George Deukmejian, whom I respect tremendously.

 

I did perceive this doctor to be somewhat laconic, but otherwise courteous.

 

Perhaps, that which we want from others, meaning a sense of accommodation and warmth, is that which we need to personify ourselves, first and foremost.

 

There is an equitable maxim in American jurisprudence that says: He who seeks equity must do equity. In Christian terminology, the same idea translates into: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

 

On the note of miracles, they are ever-occurring and ever-present. The only thing that is missing is the state of mind to see them.

 

I think one of the blessings of this day and age is that metaphysics and physics need not be deemed to be mutually exclusive reflections anymore. There is a lot of good reading out there that shows that the organizing principle behind any formulated entity is not local to the physicality of the entity. If you move your fingers to type here, you can look and analyze all the various bio-chemical mechanisms that process the mind command to type, but you will never be able to dissect your way into finding the decision-maker to make your fingers type. Epiphenomenalism is dead granted modern science, so is "hard objectivity".

 

Might as well enter the ring - I'm not that patient a spectator.

George Deukmejian would not be elected California Governor today. He is out of touch with the electorate of the State of California. In the last gubernatorial election nominating process he did not support the sure Republican winner in a general election and supported the man who eventually lost to Gray Davis. Unfortunately, he is even out of touch with the political man he was when he won the California governorship twice. His views have been co-opted by the fanatics in his party.

 

As for Roger Ohanessian, M.D., all your religious platitudes will not erase the hurt he caused me in my darkest hours.
