My dad is a pastor. My dad also has road rage. One time he was driving and someone cut him off. He flipped the guy off. They guy was a perishner at the church.
My dad didn't have his clarics on. He wasn't performing communion. He thought he was just some guy driving downtown. But then again he wasn't. He is always a pastor. Whether he is blessing someone or shopping for produce at Safeway, he is always a pastor....and that role follows him wherever he goes and whatever he does.
I know you weren't warning anyone about anything as a moderator, but you still are a moderator.

I would hope someone would be able to use critical thinking instead of generalizing, straw manning, and falsifying. Of course the post I was responding to offered no in depth analysis. No critical thinking.
