I just sat down in a United Airlines plane headed from DC to Newark, NJ. Next to me is seated a priest. Collar, Irish brogue,a whiff of scotch, the works. What should I say or discuss with him.

Ask him if you can try his scotch.
Sip it and announce loudly: "GOD D A M N!!!! That's good stuff!!!!!"

"Oh - hello there. A man of god, I see! Forgive me, but I'm curious - have you always been a delusional fuckwit, wallowing in your fairy tales of a psychopathic and murderous god; or is this a form of brainless, self-decepton that you achieved by dint of great effort later in life?"

And no ... I'm not serious!

I hear the voice of the Walter Mitty spirit that we all share.???

The Holy Trinity, I love listening to double-talk bullshit.

His Scotch preference, Ireland, DC, the weather. So many things to talk about that have nothing to do with religion.

We discussed books and my work. For a man working in a pre-medieval field he excellently well accoutered technology-wise. He brought his laptop and was into Paul Newman’s “The Verdict.”

Saying nothing is another option.

that would be my choice

Whatever you like that is nothing to do with religion

1

Ask him his reaction to Paul Ryan’s reinstatement of the Catholic House Chaplain.

I should have done that!

Whatever you do...don't talk about the Bible...you will discover Catholic Priests know very little about the Bible. Talk about any young boys in your family...that should get his attention.

Find out what you have in common. Talk about that.

I'd talk about whiskey. He surely has some divine guidance on the subject.

Jameson, Paddy, or Tullamore, he would never suggest that Protestant Bushmills!

Literature?

I would ask him what it was like growing up in Ireland.

I would ask if he would share the scotch

I’m afraid none was visible any longer!

@ArturoS Oh - that's no fun then
