This is my religion

I like to think of myself as having a very open mind when it comes to religion. One thing that annoys more than anything in this world is when people fight or argue over religion. Fighting over religion is stupid and not worth it. Fighting over religion has caused hatred and war. The only reason I am ranting over this is because I feel regardless of your religion… no matter what it is you have a right to practice it and no one should have the right to tell you it’s wrong. Most of the people that I am on this trip with are Jewish, which is fine, I love them all! But one of the instructors on this trip is also Jewish. She constantly complains about how back in the United States she worked for a Catholic Hospital but she didn’t agree with the religion they practiced, the fact they had morning prayers, and that since they practiced Catholicism it prevented her from practicing the type of medicine she wanted to. Granted Catholics don’t agree in abortion and contraceptives but she is an infectious disease doctor not a gynecologist. If she didn’t agree with Catholicism then she shouldn’t have taken a position with a Christian hospital. She then proceeds to say every day that this hospital drove her out of practice.  Also the hospital here is a Christian hospital and she always makes in my option offensive comments toward Christianity and how she thinks that they are pushing it on her. Religion here has to do with the way these doctors practice, the hospital mostly caters to Hindus. The cast system dictates more the way people are treated.  I don’t consider myself a bible thumper but I was brought up a Christian and for the first time in my life I am offended with someone telling me how bad it is. I respect her religion and I expect mine to be respected as well.
