[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Complaining about a prayer tradition at a religiously founded hospital is like choosing to work at a Catholic school and complaining about having to go to Mass, or choosing to work as a secretary at an Islamic center then complaining about having to wear a hijab.[/quote]

No, actually you are implying that the nurse, or the teacher, or the secretary has a [i]choice[/i]. Very often, especially in this economy, people do not have a [i]choice[/i]. People need to find work within commuting distance, with insurance, with a salary they can manage their household on, and they often need to accept the first job offer they're given [i]now[/i] because rent is due next month and they have credit card bills to pay off.

People do not always have the luxury of [i]choosing[/i] their employment and if an atheist is at a private hospital, then she has the right to practice as a nurse without having an oppressively religious environment forced on her, such as public, communal prayer.[/quote]

They do have a choice.

Employment is voluntary. There are secular and public employment options.  If you voluntarily take a job at a private or faith based institution or choose to attend a religious school, then yes, that is a choice and you have no right to complain about the religious culture and or traditions of the private or religious institution.[/quote]

Holy shit, your reading comprehension is marvelous.[/quote]
