Atheist Professers

[Nurse Ker-Ker]

Hi everyone! I'm kind of new here, and I have a question: Right now I'm in A&P and my professor is an all out atheist. I realized when I decided to go the nursing route I would encounter many scientific minds, but whew! How do you fellow believers keep this from getting to you? Just a little friendly conversation starter, not trying to start a creation vs evolution debate. Hope to hear from yall!

I think Mark had the right idea:

"i just made it perfectly clear to him that i was here to learn but not to be indoctrinated to his views! i ended up filling a complaint with the dean of the nursing program and the president. they reprimanded him...i am fine with some one sharing opinions but i will not tolerate instructors trying to change my beliefs."

You are PAYING for an education!

You have a right to be educated!

He has no more right to slam Christian beliefs from the podium than he would to make sexist remarks or racial slurs...do NOT tolerate it!

Similarly, Christians and other zealous folks should be appropriate in what venues religious beliefs are discussed...and should be done so without being derogatory.

My friends and peers at work discuss religion and politics at work all the time...the rule is just to present YOUR opinion and LISTEN to others...no tearing down of anothers' views!

Please, don't let professors in education get away with poor behavior! We are expecting professionalism from you when you graduate...likewise you should expect it from your teachers!

Kristy,

Please don't use "Alheist" and "jerk" in the same sentence. Yes your Prof may be a jerk, but thats not because he's an Atheist. If you assume he's a jerk because he's an Atheist you've openned a whole bag of worms, because that would be stereotyping and pre-judging him. If he's a jerk just say he's a jerk.

UM, I CALLED HIM AN ATHEIST AS HE ADMITTED SO....AND HE WAS A JERK...

AND HE ALSO SLAMMED JEWS AND CATHOLICS (OF WHICH I AM ONE) SO YOU'RE DARN RIGHT HE OFFENDED ME.

HE WAS ONE OF THOSE PROFS THAT YOU JUST WANT TO HOLLER, "WHAT THE H*LL DOES THIS HAVE TO DO W/ A & P?"

AND YES, I AM HOLLERING B/C I WAS VERY OFFENDED...
