Default Oh, god... not God again.

Two hours spent by a pastor interviewing presidential candidates.... geez.

John McCain said he would chase "evil" to the gates of hell. Was he making a sly reference to Dante or just offering a good summation of this "political" event as a Divine Comedy?

And since when has someone like Warren, a “man of god,” been elevated to such prominence in a presidential campaign? The event, pitched as being a serious political discussion, was little more than a chance for the candidates to kiss some Christian posterior.

I need to check my calendar, but this is the 21st century right?

Did you watch? If yes, your argument is hollow. If no, you have no room to comment.

yes I watched it... and what about my argument is hollow? I am certain I am much more hollow than you imagine. I am like a walking echo chamber.

Or, perhaps you too buy into the "hallowed" rhetoric of religious pandering?

Enlighten me.
