I KNEW there was good reason that I've never trusted nuns!
I thought it might just have been their shifty eyes, or maybe their disturbing resemblance to penguins... or perhaps it could have been the obvious malice inherent in the nuns at good old St. Barnabus with their daggeer-throwing eyes, shrill screaming voices, and stark black stockings and utilitarian black brogans - what kind of honest woman wears brogans?
But NOOOOOO...
It's obvious to me now in my later years, it was the GUNS they had hidden under their bad habits!
To be entirely non-denominational, I feel the same way about women in burkas, and having one mention to me outright while I was on guard duty that for all I knew she could be hiding an AK under that shapeless mess of black did not help rehabilitate my poor impression of them. Yes, that really happened. Personally, I think that particular one was just trolling for a cavity search, or maybe just a generous and lingering pat-down. It takes all kinds, even among Muslim women trying to hide everything but their smoldering eyes.
That one looked terribly disappointed when I laughed at her and told her I could have her dropped like a poll-axed steer long before she could get anything like that unwound out of her voluminous garb - but that I thought it would be a hell of a show since obviously ALL of the yards and yards of black cloth would necessarily have to be thrown entirely back over her head in the production of said AK, letting all her glory shine but unfortunately covering up her aiming eye.
THERE! I've said it! Now I can't be accused of having an anti-christian bias!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
