May your name be written in the Great Book, I am lighting incense, facing east, kissing a plant, davening, trans-substantiating, and chanting oh mane padme hum.
Whew, covering your religious ass is a lot of work!

You didn't kiss my ring.
Begone - off into the outer darkness for neverending torture at the behest of a loving god!!!

I know.
When I had to kneel at 13 or 14 to be slapped by a drunk Irish priest did not work for me. On that day I left the Catholic Church. Not that I was ever comfortable and since neither of my parents went to church it was a smooth transition.

You were fortunate that all the Priest did to you was slap you.
