Hey, didn't Darth Vader say something like that to Luke Skywalker?

Wait a second, that means Christians are Luke Skywalker in this metaphor. Perhaps it requires further thought...

Funny. All weekend I was thinking that the Romney speech reminded me of that annoying shampoo commercial of some years back: "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful."
