bombmaniac I too think your joke is invery very poor taste. You take your self appointed role as Court Jester too seriously.
Sean is a very intelligent person who takes life and his responsibilities seriously,and asked for input on an extremely imortant and sensitive matter.
I too thought that the Ben Noah in his nom de plume was a joke of sorts. After I rcvd his reply (see below) to my Q on a different thread about “peek” I did a Google and found his post #16 @ http://www.chabadtalk.com/forum/showthread.php3?p=165705 I was very impressed.
Noahides are very careful not to name “clergy” or anything like that, we would never want to be considered a religion as that could be avodah zarah, we follow the G-d of Torah and the laws laid out for gentiles. We can take on other mitzvot as we see fit as long as we realize it’s not a requirement for us and if we do it properly (Rambam).
There are certainly some gentiles who are “teachers”, I’ve heard people call them “Moreinu” but that’s as close to a title as a gentile gets. But really, 95% of the learning I do are under Orthodox Rabbis (mostly online), I have a Rabbi about an hour away from me that I can go to for more personal matters if needed and we’re invited to attend services whenever we wish.</blpcckquote>
