Yup. But I can't resist hassling Christians. It's what I do best. I need

Issues, dude.  Get over it.

For real.  I worked in food service for over a decade and hated it, but
you won't see me mocking employees of that industry.  How you react to the
years spent in Catholic College (12 years in college?  For what degree
program?) is entirely your responsibility--how does hassling innocent
Christians assuage your unpleasant school experiences?

   It depends, I think, on what he means by "Catholic" versus
   "Christian" in that context, Dave!  (See?  A conforming Dave!
   And another one!  I'm good at using Dave!  See?  Did it again!)
   It could mean one of two things:

   -He hated Catholic school, so he hassles Christians out of
    rebellion/disgust/disenchantment; or
   -He learned well in Catholic school, so he hassles Christians--
    who, in this sense, are Protestant and thus effectively
    heretical--using the tools he gained there to do so.

   I think "College" may refer to the campus environment of some
   Catholic day schools.  I could be wrong, though--but D.Div and
   other theological programs are usually 8 years, not 12.  YMMV,
   of course.

   Oh, yeah, and that fast food thing?  I worked at Taco Bell, I
   still eat at Taco Bell (and in fact have more sympathy for those
   workers because of it); I worked at Domino's, and I still love
   pizza [1] (and tip really well).

   [1] Our location actually disregarded the Monaghan portion chart
       and made pizzas the way we figured people would like them, and
       were insanely successful doing it.  Unfortunately, most of
       the other Domino's locations don't do that sort of thing, so
       you get the cardboard-with-tomato-and-rubbery-cheese thing.
       I may not make money as good as I did delivering pizza--
       $25-$30/hour--for a looong time.
