"Reading the Bible is what led me not to believe in God,"
The same thing happened to me, but in childhood, not after a career as a Baptist minister.
It has never been a mystery to me how/why the most rabid fundie believers are usually also the most ignorant of the Bible.

Our beliefs are so much easier to deal with if we don't actually examine them.

Same. Twelve or thirteen years old; failed confirmation situation. Never looked back.

"With the economy the way it is, with my lack of marketable skills other than a seminary education, it has me in a tough spot."

I thought being Catholic was more or less just a cultural thing for non-Hispanic American Catholics. Being Episcopalian is a cultural thing for my family; only a tard would believe the Episcopal Church's traditional shit. That's why less than 1% of Episcopalians have split from the church in outrage over recent affronts to the traditional dogma.
