LISTEN, CHRISTIANS!

[Jenny A]

It's hard for them to accept what we say because all our words are filtered through thoughts of "What will people think of me if I acknowledge that what these atheist say makes sense?" "What will happen to my ministry?" "I'll never get my wife to accept this. She's in Christian ministry for the money and doesn't care if it's true or not so I'd better reject what the atheists say to save my marriage." "I've put too much mouth into Christianity. I can't back out now."

How can  they hear us, much less think about what we're saying with all this cacophony going on in the background?

Very few Catholic priests have wives who are "in Christian ministry for the money."

And how much do you think the average Catholic priest is paid annually?

So the Anglican and Episcopalian priests didn't come to mind?  Some branches of Lutherans have priests too.   All of them are allowed to marry.

And while I doubt any woman ever married a priest of any sort for the money (there isn't much in the ministry generally), I strongly suspect that should her husband quit the ministry without an income plan, money will enter the back if not the front of her head.
