Losing her job over this is a litte extreme. However I believe religion should have zero place in the mdeical industry unless the patient themselves asks for it.

I'm an atheist and I think that's a bit extreme as well. If she had just started praying right there out loud, and trying to cast demons out of her legs then I could understand. But she asked a polite question. A person of faith would be comforted by that, it's innocent enough. If I was in the hospital and she asked me, I would politely decline but thank her for her care. I don't think a person should force their beliefs on others, but I also don't believe they should have to whisper them quitely to only the people the trust the most for fear of retribution.

And also at coolestguyever, I really hope that was sarcasm. Christians can't play the unfair persecution card seeing as how they are the vast majority. Poor christian lady, the muslims are holding her god down? I mean what the hell.

In conclusion, it's over the top. She meant no harm and you'd be a dick to be offended that she offered kindness even if you view it as misguided kindness.

I agree.

Touting Christians as oppressed and trodden upon is a pretty big reach.

She was offering a Christian prayer... You do know that Jew, Muslim prayers aren't the same, do you? So no there's no "hole" in my argument.

lol, so true, what next? middle aged white men saying there under represented?

Wow. What amazes me is that a nice gesture can lose you a job. That's just wrong.

I'm an atheist. And that is over the top. All she did was offer... I would be very midly piqued that someone would think I'm as dumb as they are to believe in the divinity of Christ, but at the same time I would just say "No thank you".

 Was that needed?

*FACEPALM*

You obviously missed my point. I was pointing out the fact that what would have happened if she was a Jew, Muslim, or otherwise and offered? They all have their own set of prayers that mean the exact same thing.

Please keep your facepalm to yourself, I don't like them. 'Kay? Thanks.

I mean what if she offered it to a Jew? A Jew wouldn't accept a Christian prayer... Nor a Muslim... That's what I meant. While it was in pure goodness I still don't believe that she should offer prayers, as she doesn't know someone's beliefs and if someone wanted to pray they would do it themselves...

However, I don't think they should have suspended her... Only tell her that she shouldn't do it. It would have been enough.
