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."

I'm hoping this mess will wake anyone harboring a thought of a theocracy up to the fact that merely being Christian won't protect them. You'd better worship the dude in the prescribed manner -- or else.
