Quote:Despite the way the question was presented
The question was meant sincerely. ( I usually only shit on the theists.) For example, you could study Shakespeare because you love it too but your career opportunities will be somewhat limited as a result. You could also study Software Design ( as an example ) and read Shakespeare in your leisure time.
Similarly, what does a degree in "theology" accomplish? In Europe it seems to be a dying field and in the US the fundies would kill you if you dissed their godboy.
