Nuns, some are such loving, sweet, gentle, motherly, 'spiritual' people, aren't they.... ;-) I've no doubt *she* got **far** more black marks in God's 'Book of Getting Into Trouble' than you did, Dan. And as for the other lad, well, he got an eye-opener into being unjustly accused by one who considered herself one of God's Own, and as such, he realised pretty fast that many inside 'religion' haven't a clue what they're about and are only there to bring down wrath and control upon others. Then I expect he chose to leave religion behind, found faith instead and possibly joined Amnesty International, for God works in mysterious ways. :0)
