Don't worry about being a Catholic in a mostly None-dominated forum. I imagine most of us won't bite...much.  Most Catholics are cool, except for the Conservative ones (John Neuhaus comes to mind) bowing to the altar of Dominionism. One of my good buddies is Catholic, been to his wedding and his dad's funeral, and we had many a discussion about religion and stuff. He was once my Dungeons & Dragons game master.
By the way, did I say that I hate Dominionists?
Thank you and welcome to you as well!! Definitely not a dominionist. I am an advocate of separation of church and state (instituted by the Catholics to protect the state from the church.)

6 degrees, nice!
Be careful not to get too many degrees, I hear you end up back where you started

I'm confused about multiple law degrees though. There's a JD, and then there's LLM (but no one but tax lawyers and other specialists get that) so are you talking law school or something like a legal studies major, or law and politics or some such? Or do you just mean a degree in engineering, a degree in mathematics, and a JD?
I have a total of 6 degrees (and will be starting 7 & 8 soon enough). 3 degrees in engineering, 2 degrees in mathematics, 1 degree in Law (I have a JD). I had a very broad focus of specialization in my JD to incorporate all the areas of law listed above. I even added an extra year to my JD to study those areas.
Good lord! Why? Given your other interests some interest in patent law I can imagine. Tax and contracts too, if you want to start your own company, but it would be simpler to just hire an attorney. But all things considered I can't imagine why you bothered with law. Or why you'd consider more education rather than simply putting what you've got to use. One would think you were more than ready to simply pursue independent research.
To each his own I guess.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Ha!! Agreed. A la Aristotle:
"The truth is the simplest and most complicated thing to have ever existed. While no one hits it precisely, no one misses it entirely."
Funny thing is you have to leave degrees off your resume. Otherwise you are too educated to be employed. My dad has more degrees than I do and warned me of this phenomena ahead of time. Nonetheless it is still shocking.
I will be starting degrees Seven and Eight soon enough.

Why? For the same reason most of you are atheist! Rather than to blindly trust what another tells me, I endeavor to have sufficient education of the things as to have an intelligent conversation and know when I am being lied to. Cannot just accept it on blind faith.

from the UK!
Would you like a cup of tea and some biscuits? Maybe we could have a nice, civilised conversation about the weather or how lovely that royal couple are, what with their adorable family?

Royal family = lim(n->oo)[benefit scroungers]
An equation is worth a thousand pictures.

Sure. Though I will have to study up on the royal family and this thing called weather. In Phoenix Arizona we have nice and nice and hot!. I think I saw a cloud two weeks ago. It was so wispy Just wait till the western water shortage we southern Californian are pretending to deal with wipe that insincere wistfulness off your face.
