Subject: RE: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
Come on...What motivates a person to do the work of caring for other people in their infirmities? Many ARE motivated by a Christian ethic. Others by a humanistic ethic. Still others by less obvious reasons but they are all doing what most here would term "A Good Work" No? Now Ebbie, do you really think that a heartless Nazi would be involved (voluntarily) in such a humane service? It is called "hyperbole". I was using "hyperbole". I exaggerated to emphasize the fact that an individual's motivations or political leanings do not interfere with a good work being done.

Obviously the nurse believes that she is reflecting the good she has found in her faith. It would naturally follow that she might feel like sharing what she has found to be good in her life with another human. The "New Commandment" Christ gave his followers was to "love one another, even as I have loved you." And that's the thing about love, you just want to share it. If you can fault someone for that, well, I'll pray for you.
