Confession and understanding

The Sci-Fi Catholic has an amusing yet pertinent post on finding a confessor who understands your confession. It's so true! Most priests can barely speak the language of modern teens when it refers to the real world, imagine how much trouble a priest would have taking the confession of a young online gamer?

Teen: OMG Father, I so totally blew it!
Confessor: What is your confession my son?
Teen: I signed up for the Kara run but I logged to an alt and farmed Primals instead
Confessor: Err, what?
Teen: Primals, I farmed Primal Water in Zangermarsh
Confessor: No, I mean what did you do?
Teen: Seriously, two guildies flew past me on their way to SSC and I felt so guilty
Confessor: They flew past you?
Teen: Yeah, well who goes land based these days? Unless you're farming of course.. oh I feel so guilty
Confessor: Um, lets start over... you broke a promise of some sort?
Teen: More than a promise Father! I signed up! I got da flasks an' all and but I just didn't feel like it, so I hid on an alt
Confessor: Well, hiding from our responsibilities is not good...
Teen: Father, they had to call the raid, the guildies are flaming up forums even now
Confessor: "Call the raid"?
Teen: Yeah, as in "no shot at the uber healing trinket for YOU Mr guild leader!" Oh I'm so dead!
Confessor: Umm, can we go back to the beginning...
