Nurse suspension over prayer 'could lead to thousands more'
Note that she was suspended simply for asking if the patient wanted her to pray for her. The patient "was not offended", but she was "taken aback". Another nurse made the complaint.
"It has reached a stage now where atheism has become so aggressive that it is quite intolerant of the expression of religious faith in a professional setting.In another vein, I always wonder why the majority are asked to be tolerant of the minority's wishes, but the minorities are never asked to be respectful and tolerant of the majority's. Ah, well. We live in a time when black is white, white is black, good is evil, etc., etc....
It is perhaps a paradox of earlier centuries where the world would have been intolerant of atheism."

When I was first diagnosed with cancer, Many people of many faiths kept me in their prayers: Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Pagans, Christians and even Atheists sending good thoughts and good wishes.
My response: Thank you.
I think that's a very good and tolerant thought, in the real sense of tolerance. I'm sure you know that you're in my prayers regularly, unless I hear otherwise from you. So's the Abbot, other old friends, and people that I just want good things for. It's a blessing to have friends, and a blessing to care about them...
