I wouldn't be offended by it, I just wouldn't warrant anyone saying a prayer for me. But the nurses dismissal is wrong no matter how you look at it or how the people decided the outcome display it to the public.

You know who's more annoying than religious nut cases? Anti-religious nut cases. This is saying a lot, as I have met and know of quite a few nutsos (look where I'm from)

There's almost no such thing as being a good samaritan anymore. I called the police a few times on a woman in my office who continuously parked in the handicapped zone, and I got lectured about it by my boss because she felt the need to +++++ about it to him.

That's a very small example, but it's something that makes me feel if I do a good deed to others, I in return get punished.

That being said, if I were religious, I don't think I would ever ask someone that question. Religion to me is something that should be a very personal matter, and nobodies business but your own.

hahah ...live and let die...

Ah Shelley, you are the 1 :mad:
I'm against it, but if the praying came as a good intention doesn't matter...
so legally doesn't have a ground for suspension

p.s. thought you were sad of being a Briton because of the teeth :D

Dude, yes, dude!
The nurse did what she thought was the fittest thing to do in such a situation...
Why should she be punished by that?

If i can recall, the American Dollar is printed with "In God we trust."
So, the state does find God as real.
So, it's not like it's some cult or something, it's simply what a christian would do.

I'm not going to blame you for being an atheist (if you are), but it simply doesn't sound right to punish someone for doing something that almost everybody else believes in, right?

I'm sure she goes to the dentist :confused:

Always look after your teeth and feet and you'll never go wrong.

Back on-topic. Don't people read anymore. Josh/magnumtz The nurse got a raw deal, I myself would not want a prayer read out to me and/or for me.

Read what I wrote. :p

Suppose the woman was dying and she said a prayer for her,would she still be suspended ?
Its called having compassion for another human being. - Something a lot of people dont have these days.

I hate BRITAIN - even more by the day.

Offtopic : You tried getting a dentist these days.You have to go to walk in clinic if u have toothache.How sad is that.Sign of the times.

Ditto. I'd rather have a nurse that actually feels compassion for her patients.

If she wants to believe in all that hocum, fine. She's not forcing it on me and I don't care what she does in her free time.

I agree.

I'm not religious these days... but when ever someone offers to "pray for me" or similar offers I realize they are religious and that's thier way of offering support and should be accepted as a generosity.
