Subject: RE: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
Hmm...

A Moslim has an religious obligation to pray 5 times a day, and there are supposed to be accomadations to working conditions to allow that. Businsses are fined for not allowing that.

A Christian ( of certain sects ) has an religious obligation to tell others about Christ, and can be fired for doing so. Businesses are fined for NOT firing them.


Now I understand.


I have always been asked if I wanted others to pray for me, and I usually said "sure!". I do not care who they are praying to: the idea that that person wanted to spend energy and good-will to the universe to benefit me seemed a good thing.
