Subject: RE: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
Offering to pray with others is a form of evangelism.

Which is exactly why an offer to pray is a violation; it violates the fresh air of common sense and decency with the imposition of a belief system so oppressively absolute it precludes every wondrous aspect of our common humanity as being somehow sinful, thus condemning the rest of us to an eternity of ghastly torments at the hands of The Dark Fellow himself.

Evangelising Christians are violating enlightenment by the active propagation of fear, ignorance, and superstition. Furthermore, they are violating the infinite cultural and spiritual diversities of humanity by preaching that there can only ever be the ONE truth. That one such Evangelising Christian goes out in the guise of a nurse to exploit the uncertainties of the infirm with offers of prayer is a violation of the sanctity of human dignity not only enshrined in very code of conduct that she, as a health professional, is duty-bound to abide by, but which is our common and inviolable right regardless.
