Religious Crazy's Apply Hex To Care Givers Hands

Nowhere on the National Hospital Week website does it mention religion. Started in 1921 to alleviate public fears about the “shrouded” institutions of the day. Nor is religion mentioned anywhere I looked on the American Hospital Association's website either. Oh my!

But it's all over the place on the banks of the Mississippi River in Keokuk,Iowa where 60 had their hands mumbo jumboed on by no less than seven believers in the almighty Finger Snapper.

There were blessings and readings all over the place and little did they know one of the readings directly contradicted their belief system.

Quoting from Mi Sun’s “The Significance of Oneself,” Debby Johnson said, “The significance of oneself cannot be measured by the fame and glory of this world or the material things we have, but by the love and compassion you have shown to others everyday of your life.”

The CEO of Keokuk Health Systems said it takes a sharp mind and caring heart to go into the health care field. I don't argue about that and I have the utmost respect for all care givers.

But for many taking care of others is a natural instinct that is part of being a human being - a part of humankind where religion cannot enter.

I'll go with the quote above once again, “The significance of oneself cannot be measured by the fame and glory of this world or the material things we have, but by the love and compassion you have shown to others everyday of your life.”
