I realised what you were doing. It was just very forced and wholly unnecessary, which, funnily enough, encapsulates 90% of Off-Topic's circuitous conversations on those topics fairly accurately.
Calling them circuitous would be claiming that they ever move at all.

A bit closer to the topic of the thread: as someone who went through twelve years of Catholic schooling, the emphasis was always on social justice and everything that comes to mind when someone says "hippie crap". The compulsory religion-focused class that we all took was basically just a more specialized history class.
