Ah, then that makes sense. I knew many Jewish children growing up, the area I grew up in was very rich and conservative, so many Jews came to live with the capitalist Christians who basically praised them and their money-making. I do not remember ever liking one of their mothers, nor do I remember liking going to Mass with my catholic friend and his mother.

I grew up with a Presbyterian mother. She also guilt-trips. It must just be an unhealthy thing mothers do.

Edit: how does one "parish"? Aren't parishes religious districts/buildings?

Yes, I know a number of Presbyterians rather well, and they are almost Calvinist in their Protestant ethics (and guilt trips).

To parish (usage: as a verb, used without object) is to die.

Isn't that perish?

Ye, they are fucking Calvinists at the core.

Oops! Yes.

(Or 'parish' could be: the condition of being pared with a paring knife.)

Oh, parish has another definition? Cool, thanks for spelling it wrong just so I can learn that people can be pared with a paring knife to be parished, lol. Edit: Seriously, this is cool.
