People behave differently around Pastors than they would regularly. I have heard people with the dirtiest of mouths not utter a single curse word when the minister is around. Even the most ardent atheist tends to ensure he is behaving well in front of preachers. There is a generally accepted rule among people that God will be more angry at you if hurt someone who has dedicated his entire life God, than if you hurt a peon.
It was surprising, then, to me today to read about a New York City nun who was mugged while in her full habit. That just takes a little bit more gall, in my book, than robbing a normal person. Do you really want to face the judgment seat and have to answer back to God why you chose to rob a person who has taken a vow of poverty and dedicated her life to serving others?
