Faith to stay ok

[Amelia]

I could not agree with you more.

 

[gnosis]

Gonna have to side with the nopers. I like the job, it's fun and I do like helping people, but it's not a "calling" and faith doesn't really play into it.

 

[SeeNoMore]

Not at all

 

[azbrewcrew]

Nope...and im not "racing the reaper" either.

 

[RefriedEMT]

Damn all you nopers to hell!!!, It is a calling from Jesus!! that makes me save your decrepit lives from the embrace of hell! Take Jesus hand or burn in everlasting fire sinners!

[STXmedic]

No, the new Pope said there is no hell. I like that guy.

The only thing I have faith in is good training and good equipment. Not supernatural beings.

 

[redundantbassist]

Faith is scary to me, in the fact that so many highly intelligent people suddenly refuse to listen to fact and choose blind faith over it. I am deeply suspicious of anyone who believes a magic man in the sky

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Couldn't agree more, I was just wanting to see if anyone here could identify sarcasm.

Yeah, its good to see that there aren't many jesus freaks in ems.

Actually, there are plenty of religious folks in EMS and medicine.

 

[Anjel]

You can be religious and not be a Jesus freak. What I do in my personal life is my business. I'm not going to shove it down people's throats are make fun of others beliefs that are different than mine.

Not what I was saying. You can be religious and not be a jesus freak.

EDIT Anjel beat me to it.

 

[irishboxer384]

the best summarisation of the topic ive seen in the media:

 

[medichopeful]

Faith that I may be able to help someone? Absolutely. Faith in any other sense of the word, absolutely not. Something about "faith" and religious beliefs just doesn't sit right with me.

 

[Carlos Danger]

Sure, I guess. But some people use pejoratives like that to refer to anyone with religious beliefs. Like many words or phrases, the meaning depends on the context in which it is used.

And given the context here - this thread is about "faith", there has been no mention at all of evangelism - it's quite reasonable for one to take your statement as a reference to religion at all, not just proseletyzers.
