I could introduce you to a few pastors who have to forcibly restrain  
themselves from exploding with rage and pouring forth  streams of  
profanity at the mere mention of biblical languages. When I was in the  
first decade of my Greek and Hebrew there was no lack of pastors bad  
mouthing it as a pernicious activity and a waste time. After a decade  
of abuse I just quit talking to pastors, period.
