Here's how my morning started. I just want to be left alone. I've never attempted to force my beliefs on anyone. Why can't I have the same respect? Even at work yesterday, I am a hospice registered nurse so religion is always a top priority for patients and families once that terminal diagnosis is discovered, I just sat quietly during prayer for a patient out of respect. I did not participate, but I gave respect to those who choose christianity as their faith. I just want the same respect. This was posted to my FB timeline this morning..sigh.

I personally would say what a self righteous idiot they are and then promptly block and delete them, many people that are religious have zero respect for others beliefs..

Someone just posted it.From top to bottom its fine. Just don't readit from bottom to top, lol.

2 thoughts...I've had, unfortunately, a lot of time with nurses. I love you all and could never thank you enough. Secondly, you might be happier if you got off facebook. I know I am.

I agree with the FB suggestion and have been very seriously considering your suggestion. I keep it because I have a daughter that lives out of state and we enjoy sharing things such as photos among other family happenings on FB. Maybe I just need to delete everyone except my kids!!!

What a pile of shit

Maybe someone who is not too bright thought that you might find it funny.

Am I being too naive here?

That was NOT the intention!!

Maybe you should block whoever posted that ...

I have an incredible respect for what you do. I could never handle watching families go through that day after day. To put your beliefs aside out of respect for these people's beliefs at such a terrible time in their life is admirable.

Ah, what cleverly written bullshit. At least you know you'll never encounter this kind of crap here. =]

I so love this!!!

Blocked and deleted. Immediately.

If they posted it to me directly, in your position I'd probably be pretty direct in response and let them know that I don't appreciate their snide comments and proselytizing, especially because I don't disrespect them in such ways despite how I feel about their religious views. If it was just posted to the world and showed up in my newsfeed, I'd ignore it and/or hide the person who posted it so their future posts won't show up.

That's gotta be tough, an atheist hospice nurse. My dad was hospiced at Florida Deland, originally a 7th Day Adventist operation. None of the staff participated in any praying; I think they had a pretty clear line on that. That message you got looks like harrassment.

Pretty. Sure there's an atheist version of this , depending on my relationship with the person .....ah scrap that I'd find the atheist. Version and post that and wait for the fireworks lol

I would unfriend and block the person who put this on your timeline. If they are unable to accept your views on things, then they do not deserve to be your friend.

You do not have to unfriend anyone, just unfollow them and you will never see their posts again.

@jlynn37 it's more satisfying unfriending them for some reason lol

@SimonMorgan1 Of course, your choice.

Well, you have just proved one of the reasons why I like this place. I've had my share of that on Facebook and I had it. I agree with you on the statement that we all should respect others beliefs and we should receive the same cortesy. Anyhow, I just have a tendency to ignore those things.... They want to "pray"for me, that's their choice and time, etc... Cheers and have a great day !!!

Its a misnomer, I know... The key part is "Iam"... Cheers

You will never get your respect from the mainstream religious communities. You (and I) are considered an abomination and not worthy of life.
