    I know, I know.

    I’m well aware that this is what I’m doing:

    But while he’s not incorrect to use that title, he wields it as a badge of authority. It’s also not incorrect to call him Phil McGraw, and doesn’t give him that authority. So that’s why I’m an old man yelling at a cloud about this.

    Also, PTs don’t require a doctorate degree. But some do carry it.

    I really wish people would stop referring to Phil McGraw as a doctor. He holds a PhD, and therefore is as much of a doctor as your physical therapist. Although I would argue that the physical therapist is more of a doctor given their knowledge being more directly related to medicine.

    Phil McGraw has not held a medical license or license related to the field of his PhD since 2006.

    I will now step down from my soap box

    What about religion? There are atheists who don’t understand why people seek religion, but the basis of believing in God is not harmful to others. So why the anti-theism in so many subs here?

    To take this even further, you say others have a responsibility to stop you from harming/killing your child. To extend this further, this can be taken to say that others have a responsibility to prevent aborting a healthy fetus.
