There was a large family that began attending a church I once attended. The women folk wore homespun and gingham head scarfs as a uniform. The men dressed in simple black. They became a major source of division in that church and sad to say, the leadership saw NOTHING. It turned out they were followers of quasi-Christian cult. The children were all home schooled to keep the taint of the world away and their ignorance was as appalling as was their dedication to the principals of their true leader. Brrrrrr!

I have no doubt that were a Hitler-like charismatic leader to come on the scene, little groups like this one would fall into step (goose?) immediately. When lack of success called them to richer fields they left taking a couple of families with them. Many more left because of the leaderships receptiveness to the invasion.

By nature, evil hides itself, its motives, from its intended victims and keeps itself hidden until a fortuitous time. Once its mission is completed, it goes back into hiding. Now you might be tempted to liken this nurse's action to the same but it is not. Christianity and churches have a local and national presence in this nation, England and many other western countries and beyond. They are open organizations and are upfront about their evangelistic efforts and other endeavors. It is not unlikely that one will meet Christians in their day-to-day life. And it is not out of the realm of possibility that the topic of their religious affiliations or other aspects of their beliefs will come up in the course of their daily lives. People tend to talk about what is closest to their hearts. Isn't that a reasonable picture? If you don't want to hear about some one's motorcycle, grandchildren, waffle recipes, philosophy of life OR religion you simply beg off. Change the subject. Walk away.

RD makes a valid point that some atheists actions have proven to be stupid. Stupid because they may have helped accomplish the very thing they were against. That's stupid and as Forest Gump's Momma always said "Stupid is as stupid does."
