USELESS IS THE WORD
Someone Call Research

Useless Knowledge Mag has a brief item up today, “Pharmacists, The FDA And The Morning After Pill” (Warning: Irritating flashing ads.), by Jane Hill, in which is written: “And what if the pharmacist is a Christian Scientist? Can he [sic] refuse to prescribe antibiotics or other chemicals not sanctioned by his/her [sic] faith?”

What an odd and ill-informed remark, not even clever by half.

There simply is no such thing as a Christian Scientist pharmacist. It is an impossibility, a contradiction in terms, as the two attributes, for lack of a better word, are wholly and self-evidently incompatible.
