7 Times 'Modern Alternative Mama' Was So Stupid She Was Dangerous
3. Rejecting Modern Science
This may not surprise you, but like a lot of ill-informed science deniers out to make money – Kate has a habit of deleting comments and blog posts that show her in a negative light, I mean like the batsh*t crazypants she is. On November 14th 2009, Kate published a blog post entitled “Rejecting Modern Science”, the post caused every scientist on the Internet to collectively stop and backhand their monitor on reflex. The blog post was soon deleted, however the legend remains.“Many doctors think they can intervene and do a better job than God.” It gets better:
“Next time someone tells you that you should fall in line because this is “evidence based medicine” and the results are published in “peer reviewed journals,” tell them just how little faith you have in these, and exactly why. Instead, tell them you believe God created us perfectly and we don’t need these interventions in almost any case to continue to be perfect. God gave us all the medicine we need all around us, which Chinese medicine and other natural healing takes advantage of (a topic for another blog post later).”
Let me get this straight. Kate rejects modern science (something she repeats constantly on her Facebook page) because it is a broken system and doctors think they know better than her chosen god, however she will take her child to a doctor when it suits her? That doesn't seem to be a very strong conviction. The logical inconsistencies continue:
“God gave us food. God gave us plants, animals, grains, herbs…. God gave us all of this amazing, wonderful creation! We should thank Him for it and appreciate it. We should partake of it and be glad. When we align ourselves with God and His creation, we can be the best version of ourselves, and fulfill the destiny that He has laid out for us. We cannot change our destiny. We cannot use God’s creation as a substitute for God. We cannot make our lives longer or avoid hardships that God has chosen uniquely for us. We will still experience illness and sorrow and challenges. Choosing to follow God’s path does not exempt us from that; the Bible is clear about this.”
Which is it Kate? Selling products in your store and giving advice in order to prolong someone’s life or are we all f*cked because your god has a plan and no one – not even you – can change that? If we’re all f*cked and we can’t prolong our lives, why did you write a book called: “Healing with God’s Earthly Gifts: Natural and Herbal Remedies”?
