        <![CDATA[ Doctors are demanding that NHS staff be given a right to discuss spiritual issues with patients. Is it right to mix religion and
healthcare?





Doctors will tell the British Medical Association conference this week that staff should not be disciplined as long as they handle the issue sensitively. The

			<description><![CDATA[ Asking if they can pray for you is not pushing a religion, its offering what they believe and deem a favor, for you to accept or reject, Its your choice.
<br>
I said the offer of drink, Meant to say if you was a non drinker and some one offer you a drink, would you be upset?
<br>
An Alcoholic might try to push one on you, as a over zealous religious person ,might try to push a prayer, but the average person would not, either way.

			<description><![CDATA[ As my father is drawing nearer to death more people keep telling me they will pray for him.  I nicely ask them not to waste their time.  I am really not
offended too much as they are speaking from a position of caring.  They maybe somewhat offended but if need to I tell them he&#39;s an atheist.  As I see it
they started it so if anyone is going to be offended it needs to be them not I and its better to be pissed off than pissed on.

			<description><![CDATA[ Why should someone else&#39;s religious beliefs be forced on someone?!!? There is nothing ridiculous about expecting to not have religion forced down your
throat. It is ridiculous to refuse medical attention from a doctor who has no religious beliefs. If you think they are the same thing then that says a lot more
about you and your ridiculous obsession with christianity.
