Talk:Chiropractor Jesus

This is not an article, but a rebuttal to 'Chiropractor Jesus'. To the writer, A P Davis was by no means an Apostle of D D Palmer. He was a student and teacher of all types of alternative medicine. He graduated from Rush Medical in 1868 and Pulte Homeopathic in 1877. He was also in A T Stills' first class of osteopathy. He conferred with, taught, studied under, and mentored physicians of all types. If you read the writings of both D D and B J, you'll find they differed greatly with A P Davis in their opinions. In a letter to his son, A P Davis wrote in 1910 "you are aware that the Palmer's have turned out many who would better never even heard of such a thing as chiro." Do these sound like the words of an Apostle? A P Davis, a devout Christian in his own right, in your 'Jesus' metaphor, would have been more like a theologian who attended the Sermon on the Mount (D D Palmer's first class) than an Apostle of D D Palmer. He truly believed he could find the answers by combining all types of medical knowledge. His opinion of the AMA became similar to yours.

Comedy based on inaccurate premises is usually not funny to those in the know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.53.205.28‎ (talk • contribs)

I think you have firmly grasped the wrong end of the stick here. Anyway, I disagree. An article aimed at creating a laugh has no obligation to be accurate. Just has to be funny and if not, it will got the way of all digital flesh:electron recycling. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 07:26, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

We have a nice recent article on the "inaccurate premise" that box-springs are judged on color, cut, carats, and clarity. Spıke Ѧ 10:52 3-Jun-15
