I hate that people assume everyone goes to church and believes the way they do. I took my younger daughter to the doctor, as she has been complaining about her stomach for a long time. She is a great worrier, and has begun to think something is wrong. So to put her worries, about her stomach at least, to rest, I took her in. The doctor, whom I really don't care for, as she strikes me as being too abrasive, checked her stomach and declared it fine. We talked a bit about the fact that my daughter is a worrier. The doctor said, "Well, that's just the way God made her."
I'm sure that comment was meant to alleviate my worries as well as my daughter's worries; however, why would the doctor make that comment? Why did she assume that I believe in God?
I wish I had responded, "We believe that that is how she has evolved..." It's time to find a new doctor-I think I'll go back to the clinic I took the kids to before we moved. It's just a little bit too "We all must think and believe the same way..." down here.
