In Mathew 23:9 I read an interesting verse.

And call no man your father upon this earth: for one is your father which is in heaven.

This clearly condemns calling father to a priest like the catholics do. However, that means I can't call my dad the word father either (which is going to take some getting use to since that what I been calling him the past years). I wouldn’t call a catholic priest father anymore (I'm a former catholic) because I now know the fraud that is the catholic religion, but I still find it difficult to stop calling my dad the word father. So, do any of you have any opinions on this matter? Do any of you address your dads as father?
