Sorry 33,
The vast majority of people are "born" into their religion and never leave it. A few do choose, but generally move into a religious group with mostly the same values as their old one. I'm not at all interested in debating the good or bad of any specific religion.
Second, I did not see that episode of ER and can't comment on the writing, production values etc. They may have been awful. I just don't know. I will say that ER is generally exceptionally well done.
Third, my point is that (and I think Leslie Anne's -- although I don't pretend speak for her) the reason for this type of unfortunate programming is reality. If there weren't hazing and alcohol and drug abuse, there would be no story.
Please understand that I don't like seeing this stuff on TV, but I think it's important to realize the root of the problem, not the result.
