The golf analogy is irrelevant. This is about your fundamental belief-system, the way you see the world, your values. Golf (hopefully), isn't.[/quote]

And a game of golf does not take 45 minutes to an hour to complete.[/quote]

Nope, it's not irrelevant - have you not seen Caddyshack? There are people who grok - make their entire way of thinking/being an analogy of - things like golf (or football).  Yes, sports as source of life parables is dubious, but frankly, so is a lot of the "wisdom" of hallucinating desert nomads from 5000 years ago.

Also: [b]yes, by the time you get up, get dressed for, drive to mass, stay for the whole ceremony and then get back out, it could easily be a 3-4 hour escapade[/b].  Sure there are lots of in-and-out (leave after communion) Catholics who are done in 45 minutes, but my wife used to spend almost four hours from the time she started getting ready to go, until she'd gotten home again.  She tended to go to Sat. evening mass, so we could go out afterwards but if she went to the 11AM mass she'd be getting ready at 9:30 and not be home until 1:30 - she went to a parish where they sang at every single opportunity and the priests were fond of long homilies.

I think you lack in basic math and time management skills if you think it takes 3-4 hours for anyone to get dressed, drive to Mass and return home.[/quote]
