Are you kidding?

This from today's Daily Mail.

I don't know if you've been following this story or not - but roughly summarized, a nurse has got into trouble for praying for a patient - the implication being, the prayer may offend the patient if they're of another religious denomination or perhaps agnostic or atheist.

The fact the patient wasn't remotely offended seems to have been brushed aside by the do-gooders, with the nurse in question facing suspension and possibly even dismissal for breaching regulations by praying.

Now a wave of support for the nurse has grown with medical and religious bodies rallying behind her cause.

As health chaplains called for new NHS guidelines over spiritual care, the Christian Medical Fellowship said Caroline Petrie's removal amounted to 'religious discrimination'.

OK, look, for my money you get nut jobs on either side of the divide - people who can't, or simply won't look at a situation from anybody else's point of view at all. Ever.

But the broader truth, as far as I can tell, is this - people of religious denominations other than Christianity aren't offended by Christians practising their faith. They're offended by the fact a Christian society appears to think so little of it they're willing to suspend a nurse who cares about her job and her patients, simply for being one.
