John P, obviously you are not an American citizen. Here in America our Constitution has 10 amendments we call the Bill of Rights. In the very first amendment it states (emphasis, mine) that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, OR PROHIBITING the FREE EXERCISE thereof; or ABRIDGING the FREEDOM of SPEECH, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This allows us to freely engage in dialog with any who are interested as well as allowing us to DISENGAGE if we want no part of it. No harm no foul. Now if someone is, say, a captive audience such as a person in a hospital then they would have the right to make the persistent evangelical to buzz off. That doesn't seem to apply in this case as it was an inquiry if the ailing person might desire to have another petition her god to the end of healing that person. A courteous "No thank you!" and the transaction is over and done. Had the nurse persisted then, yes, disciplinary measures should be taken.

I can engage anyone in a discussion of anything mutually agreeable to the both of us. If I am on the job, I don't cease being a person and I don't necessarily surrender my rights. If nothing else I can suggest contact outside of the place of employment. Again, it all depends upon the listener's response. Whenever a "NO!" is encountered, that ends it. Same with "I demand to see an attorney!" no further questioning may continue. Works for me. Get real.

One of my favorite quotes comes from the movie "The Princess Bride". The Dread Pirate Roberts states "Life is pain and if anyone says different, they are selling something." Think of all the annoying commercial advertisements on the TV and radio, the mail and magazines. They are all selling something and no one is up in arms about that! Philosophers, gurus and Christians are also selling something, a belief system, a way of thinking or someone or something to put your faith in. That's all. "Yes, tell me more" or "No thank you!" Get a little fresh air. It may help you to relax.
