    The Seventh Day Adventists also have a shit ton of hospitals, the largest among the Protestant denominations iirc. You’ve probably heard of the Kellogg families impact on things like popularizing circumcision…

    SDAs also have a substantial impact on the modern conspiracy theory landscape. The cult at Waco was an offshoot, Bill Cooper incorporated their propaganda in his weirdo narrative, if you live in the US you’ve probably got their book mailed about the “Sunday Law”….

      Advent owns most of the Hospitals and urgent care facilities in my area. Walking through the hospital, there are a constant religious references. One has a huge painting of a person dying in bed, their family and doctor gathered around, with a brightly painted and shining Jesus among them.

      I’ve got a problem with a hospital who still considers divine intervention to be a viable medical strategy. What is this, the fucking Middle Ages?
