if he is your professor, it IS your place to debate.

I would say keep my lips zipped and just get through med school once you have your degree then you can deal with the other people psychoses but right now no reason getting some Professor pissed off at you

Pls take my advice . Shut your mouth at med school . U did the right thing . I want u to close eyes when these type of hypocritical professors are part of your day . They are grading your papers and clinical performance . U will not change their mind . A debate of any type will not be welcomed by these idiots .
The catholic psychologist / clinician who had the nerve to mention to med students that he is catholic without adding " people/ leaders of my faith are raping children and my boss leader is ok w this , " but here , let us pray b4 we talk about how to recognize and treat sexual abuse in your feature children clients , CAN GO AND KILL HIM SELF YESTERDAY AS FAR AS I CARE .
Debating w an asshole will not get u to graduation . Your goal is to get it done . Then , when in power and when u call the shots , u will have your chance to change this crap and help / influence future residents and fellowship ones when they work for u ♥️??
Keep breathing , eat well , sleep as much as possible , vent here , hydrate , and study . ( in case u miss your mother ! Hahahahahah !)
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

When I see humanity I see a somewhat advanced social primate. Someday maybe an even more advanced species will study us and reference how we used religion to delude ourselves. Maybe that more advanced species will not need a religious crutch... we could be a common ancestor to a higher primate in a few million years?

It would be an interesting topic to broach with the professor, esp as a clinical psychologist dealing with delusions, schizophrenia, brain washing but why religions get a pass with these labels. Tactful timing and discussion will need to be taken.

Funny, but its been my experience that some Catholic priests and scholars don't really seem to believe in God, or at least not the brand named one that is presented by their church.

he may not be able to spell hypocrite

Are there any negative consequences for asking the question? It is a legitimate and obvious one. I don't think you were the only one who thought that way.

"Yes because other religions ARE superstitions, OUR god is the only real one! A burning bush said so!"

IMO yes it's a superstition.

Silence is sometimes the best recourse. Debate is fruitless, pointless and only leads to a shouting match.
