You are actually a jew in denial from what I can tell but the
difference is pretty much semantic.



Ha. "From what you can tell" is...as usual...wrong.

I grew up in a city dominated by Roman Catholics and Jews, and most of
my friends were one or the other. Also, my wife got her doctorate at The
Catholic University of America, which she chose because it has the best
graduate school of social work in the D.C-Baltimore area for her area of
concentration. I spent many hours at CUA while she was at classes and
seminars, usually in the library working on stuff for my work, or in the
student lounge, chatting with priests. There are a lot of Catholic
institutions in the immediate area and therefore a lot of priests.


I learned a lot about the culture of Catholics and Jews in my lifetime,
and I also know quite a bit about Episcopalians, having had one as a
college roomie who was preparing for the priesthood.

Unfortunately, when we lived in the south, most of the "religion" I was
exposed to directly and indirectly was of the southern baptist variety.

I detect some sort of slam in your comment about Jews. Perhaps you'd
care to expand on the phrase "...the difference is pretty much
semantic," since I am not sure what you mean. Do you know what you mean?
