nihil -- curious what your definition of off-duty priest might be. FYI, I am closely acquainted with several Jesuit priests who are not on or off the clock re. their devotion to God. I did not bring up the subject of religion. I am not trying to win anyone over to my view of religion. I have shown no disrespect for anyone else's view of religion. I HAVE asked for your consideration in not ridiculing religion -- mine or anyone else's.

nihil, I absolutely cannot let this bit of off-the-cuff sarcasm pass. I have known plenty of priests and other religious over the course of my life, even have a few speckled in my own family. They are never "off duty" and they do pray. Yet again, you do not seem to notice what is not in your face or quickly researchable; in this case, such a bald statement is inexcusable and reeks of bigotry. [Edit: Indeed, I am so disgusted that I am turning off the PC lest I really lose my temper.]
