I got a pretty decent protestant education in the process of debating things with my dad. I sometimes wish I'd had a bit of time in Catechism or whathaveyou to get a handle on saints for art and early literature symbolism purposes. But I haven't wished it enough to do anything about it.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

I went to Catholic school and don't regret the education at all. At this point I'd like to put Bobby in Catholic HS in Fort Lauderdale. The tuition is $2000 more a year if you aren't Catholic. My sister said just to stop by and 'join' my mom's church, but he isn't Baptized and I don't feel quite right about pretending. He often goes to mass in Otter Lake, but not here.
The last 2 pastors of my neighborhood are in jail. Not from that kind of abuse, but for stealing millions from the collection basket and spending it on hookers and cruises and gambling trips, etc. The one pastor retired and the replacement took up where he left off. A stream of parishioners testified about what wonderful humans they were to try and get the sentence reduced. The judge was outraged and basically told them they were fools not to be demanding tougher sentences.
eta: the word sentence looks wrong to me like it should be spelled differently for crime stuff

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Felicitations, Tom! The day of your birth is a joyful day for all of us!
