Paging Heddi... [View all]

[onager]

So I go to the medical office today for routine blood work.

Now this is a Kaiser-Permanente facility in good ol' uber-diverse Los Angeles. The staff who checked me in, the vampire who took my blood, etc. were all a bunch of various ethnicities. They ranged from Asian (with blue hair; no, not blue-black, metallic blue), to Hispanic, to Standard White-n-Blackfolks and I think Armenian (judging by his nametag).

I'm guessing they were equally diverse in their religion, or lack of.

But during the procedure, I'm sitting right across from a sampler/wall hanging cheerily informing me: "With God, all things are possible."

I really try not to be one of those super-touchy atheists who barks about all forms of ceremonial Xianity. But Jesus H. Christ in a sidecar with Moses driving the bike - can't people keep this crap in their own spaces or offices or wherever? Why should I have to put up with religious propaganda EVERY DAMN PLACE I GO, including a medical office? It just gets annoying.
