I ask this seriously as I do think that Hillary appears somewhat insincere and phony in religious settings. Or do you just have to throw religion out the window totally as you realize that every candidate has to at least appear to be a bible thumper to get elected.</p> Curious then, would you be more likely to vote for an apparent true believer like Obama or an obvious panderer like Hillary?

You can hope, but that's it. Wishing does not make it so. I feel sorry for people who think life is "meaningless" because they don't transcend the laws of physics. It's <i>more</i> meaningful.
