You wrote,[...Religious groups are not qualified to give advice on biology, science or medicine...church and state overlap but are not the same...what you are trying to say..does not apply in this case...everything is not relevant..sorry (L)ou...].
Religious groups often cite experts in regards to issues involving public health. For instance, a religious group could cite the dept. of health concerning the research that they already have in regards to, let's say, the adverse effects of the use of tobacco products or the use of alchohol.
So if a religious group gives advice that psychotropic drugs have the potential for what they are purporting, could they not be citing expert's research and not their own opinions?
As to that you write that church and state can overlap, could you expound more about that as to what that could mean as to the aspects of this discussion?
As to you writing that what I have written does not apply in this case, could you identify what parts, or if it is all the parts of what I have written that you are referring to that do not apply?
As to your use of the word,"sorry", could you clarify as to what you mean by your using the word? Are any of the following what you mean ?
A. you pity me, and if so for what?
B. what I wrote is worthy of contempt?
C. You {regret} that you were in the discussion?
D. What I wrote is worthy of ridicule?
E. A combination of the above?
F. Something else?
g. All of the above?
H. None of the above?
