  1. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn posted a topic in General Nursing

    There was a ghost story thread about posessed people dying and taunting the nurses after begging them not to let them die. It inspired the question: How many of you are religious, and do you ever...

  2. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    It is also a boundary issue to put pressure on people to sterilize themselves and have less kids when they believe contraception is wrong, but lots of Christians are proselytized by population control...

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard the other side of the annoying supermarket encounters-I've heard of people butting their nose into other people's family lives and making snide remarks to anyone who has the nerve to have...

  4. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    It is presumptuous to say that you understand reality sufficiently enough to rule out the possibility of malevolent beings, and it is possibvle to know that there are right and wrong beliefs, whether...

    A patient who takes their beliefs seriously will care whether you think they will care or

  6. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    If some doctors recommend surgery out of greed when there is no need for it, are you going to say all doctors are bad? No! Religion is often blamed for the evil in the world because too many people...

    Let me get this straight-if someone was standing over you praying that Pluto would come and take you to the underworld with him, you wouldn't have a problem with

  8. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    I deliberately used the term "anti-religious" so as not to confuse it with the term "athiesm." Antireligious is someone hostile to religion. Not all Athiests are hostile to religion, and not all...

  9. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    Tell them the truth, that's the only honorable thing to do. Tell them you will call someone of their faith to pray with them if they want, but it would be wrong to decieve someone into thinking your...

  10. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    A patient might think they are on their way out medically if they aren't used to prayer outside of a crisis. All you have to do is say: I've found that it helps people who are suffering if I pray with...

  11. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't misunderstand this. I'm not saying that having an athiest pray with someone is a bad thing. Holding my hand so I'm less scared is a good thing, especially if you're doing it while I'm...

  12. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    Blessed are those who are persecuted. They problably got fired because anti-religious people have distorted the first amendment into freedom FROM religion, rather than freedom OF RELIGIOUS EXPRESSION....

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    I never said nurses were never present at a death, and just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't

  14. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    Many sick patients who have been "evangelized," as you call it, welcome and appreciate it. The trouble is when you get someone who is hostile to religion. Those people will react badly to the mere...

  15. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    Family and clergy are with a patient at times nurses can't be, aqnd they have seen things you evidently haven't seen. What you are doing is treating what I said as if it applies in all cases when it...

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say the rate was 100% of all cases, and the experts in this area are usually clergy and

  18. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    Objectively speaking, it is the epitome of arrogance to believe that you can know enough about reality to know something "doesn't exist" In order to do that, you'd have to know everything-you'd need...

  20. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    My point is that if you ask people who have had to deal with people in crisis situations e.g. military, hospitals, accident scenes, any honest professional in those situations will tell you that there...

    Whether or not prayer helps is not the question. Some people believe there are things called demons that other people may pray to, not knowing they are being decieved into thinking they are praying to...

  22. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    Statistically, there are no athiests in foxholes-when someone is facing the ultimate crisis of possibly dying they tend to want and even welcome prayer. I know of one priest who says he gets a jewish...

  23. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    If someone is not used to praying except in a crisis they might think they're checking out, but if you explain that you pray all the time for people who are suffering, and if they would like, you'd...

  24. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    The answer to your question is twofold, and I'm not sure it will help Part of the answer depends on your perspective. If you don't believe theree is anything after this life, and you're right,...

  25. religion in the workplace

    elrondaragorn replied to elrondaragorn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I wasn't clear. If I spent my life running away from God and someone offered to pray for me, depending on why I ran, I might resent the suggestion, but a lot of people when they approach the...
