Shocking! I can't imagine how hard that must be for you - a healthy person - to have to put up with.
I know!
Maybe you can find work at an atheists-only hospice.
FIFY
There is nothing "secular" about a hospice. It's not a place where you impose church/state separation, "political correctness" on sick and dying people and their carers. I'm astonished that a great big strong healthy atheist cant cope with something as culturally ORGANIC and central to our spirituality as human beings as prayer - also referred to in the bible as meditation.
I'm continually flummoxed by the way you seem totally happy to misunderstand every fucking point made in any given thread. You still don't understand that these prayers DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FUCKINGT PATIENTS, THEY ARE FOR STAFF ONLY. And yet you continue to refer to the patients as though they have the first fucking thing to do with it.
It's nothing to do with not being able to 'cope' either, as you so delightfully misrepresent Dawn's opinion, it's about WHY SOME PEOPLE'S PERSONAL PREFERENCE FOR BELIEVING ABSURDITIES MEANS THEY GET TO FORCE THAT PERSONAL PREFRERENCE ON EVERYONE ELSE AT WORK.
Why don't you ask yourself why a tribe of great big strong healthy theists can't cope with the prospect of a day's work without having to trample over everyone else's rights, just to get their imaginary friend fix, like junkies on a come-down. You won't. Because that would be far too uncomfortable.
