REAL debate thread for RELIGION

Just a thought in relation to your mention of priests:

Interestingly enough, of the great religions which are prominent today, very few have priests. Islam has clerics, Judaism has rabbis (though still people of priestly lineage), Protestantism has ministers/preachers, but as far as I know, only Catholicism and the Eastern Christian churches have priests. Buddhism I don't think does, but I'm not sure about Hinduism?

Saying Priest was more of a general statement for people not so well versed in religious history...

Call them what you will I suppose, meant to be seen simply as religious leaders.
