Expressing an opinion is not an attack. Sharing personal experience is not an attack. Sharing data is not an attack. Interesting that your question was only meant to lead to an ad hominem logical error. Nor is my experience as a pastor and member of various clerical consortia, conferences and associations confined to only United Methodist clergy. If and only if you have some factual data to call into question my conclusion would I be interested in further debate. If you wish to continue your ad hominem, please do not waste my time.
Throwing the nasty and strange, and unsubstantiated attacks you did against Christian clergy, was an attack, and you haven’t posted any data.
You made specific claims, it is up to you to show the data, while your first claim was just nasty nonsense, your second claim was also silly nonsense, but at least you should be able to come up with some sort of data to defend it.
Tell us about the masses of Christian clergy that couldn’t get into “a technical graduate school” that “had no religious vocation”, yet who became Ministers and Priests, and devoted the rest of their lives to it, merely to avoid the draft for a couple of years.
“”the end result of allowing young men in the sixties and seventies who could not gain admittance to a technical graduate school flocking into seminaries to avoid the draft. People without a religious vocation other than devout cowardice graduating to a position as clergy.”””
