//'There definitely seems like there is an anti-Christian agenda here.//

Nope it's a professionality agenda

I wonder what he'd think about Scientologists acting in the same way

I guess he'd be violently opposed

His position comes from the fact that he thinks his faith is special

It's not

No, it isn't - but he thinks it is.

I've never quite been able to grasp the concept of those who envision themselves as divinely appointed privileged spokespersons for a god conspicuously unwilling (or unable?) to speak for itself . . . messengers of messengers of rumours of unknown origin sporting a chip of cosmic proportions on their shoulder.

In common parlance Mibs he is a nutter.

I shall follow this hearing with interest.

The doctor in question has been disciplined by the GMC, who said essentially that it is unprofessional to evangelise during a medical consultation.
This is the drs take on it;

//The council ruled that some of the allegations they believed had been found true included Dr Scott saying that the Devil “haunts people who do not turn to Jesus” //

Coming from a practising doctor, if that is indeed, true, he is certainly not fit for office. In fact I go so far as to say he needs urgent psychiatric help.
