Politician or Priest

[SamIam]

Well, Spex, do you maybe, just maybe hate organized religion? I am going to take a great intellectural leap here and assume that you do. I have no desire to attempt to discuss religion with an individual whose mind is already made up. Go follow your bliss, but don't expect me to sign on for your journey.

The analogy isn't so much that all priests are corrupt like politicians, but that they both hold the same unquestioned position of power that allows them to be corrupt like politicians.
