My fingers just mistyped 'determatologist' when I meant to write 'dermatologist', and now I need to find a good definition of this new career path. What DOES a determatologist do?

Look, personally I'd prefer to see Destiny Cult officially listed as a terrorist hate group, but at the very least, could we take away their tax-free status (and with it, the implication that they're any kind of legitimate church?)
