PRAZE D’LAWD… Romney says “Jesus Christ is my personal lord and savior“… Obama promises that he’ll be “an instrument of God”… McCain says “Christianity is an important part of our qualifications to lead”… and Hillary claims she experiences “the presence of the Holy Spirit on many occasions.” If Jesus isn’t collecting hefty royalties from all this, he’s the least business savvy redeemer in history.
