    Jumpin' Jebus!

    Interesting that so many people should be swayed one way or another by the implication that Obama believes in a different imaginary man in the sky than they do… It would be nice if the debate were raised to a higher level, like, is Obama a Star Trek or a Star Wars man?

    Surely that would tell you more about him than his opinions on a book written centuries ago to control a peasant population?

    Personally, while I love both franchises, I'd have to say a Trekkie would make a better Prez than a Jedi.
