    No thanks, Mr. Obama

    I'm glad you're a committed Christian. I'm not. Not a Christian even. And I've learned that many of the words in your brochure have been used as weapons against those of my faith. So while I will vote for you in November if you're the nominee, I hope I don't have to. Excesses kill. That's too true of religion. Doesn't matter what the religion is. The true believers think it's their way or the highway. Again, no thanks.
