		<description>Again, Obama&#039;s minister (jeremiah wright) is an issue because Obama has spent significant effort in his life listening to the guy and making decisions based on his nonsense (else why would he put the effort in?). If that&#039;s not a high degree of superstition....
But then, if McCain does this, he&#039;s an idiot; if Obama believes in a man in the sky it&#039;s merely &lt;i&gt;interesting&lt;/i&gt;.

Just an observation. I fully understand that a person has to cowtow to xtian nuts to hold high office. (Obama goes to far for my liking but whatever).</description>

		<description>This comment thread already has nearly everything: claims of bias, dismissal, calls of &quot;Testify!&quot; and even a surprise visit by e e cummings.

These comments are lacking, however, conspiracy theory.  You see, superstition was invented by the Earth Goddess Cult of Ur to keep people in line, and said EGC has retained the keys to the basic code of human superstition and memetic warfare up through the time they redefined themselves as first the Freemasons and later the Illuminati.  What everyone has wrong isn&#039;t that the Freemasons/Illuminati are part of the New World Order; what&#039;s actually going on is a shadow memetic war between the current powers that be (the Earth Goddess Cult) and the wannabe powers to be.  The MK-ULTRA experiments were actually an attempt to replicate the EGC&#039;s memetic control, and Majestic-12 are attempting to use alien technology to rewrite the human source code.  The recent environmentalism is a counterforce operation of the EGC trying to &#039;return to its roots&#039; of Earth-Motherism.</description>

		<description>So you are basically saying
McCain has &quot;bizarre beliefs&quot; but Barrack&#039;s superstitions are not that bad and maybe they are nothing because I like Barack so I&#039;m going to point out that Time is bias against Barrack for showing multiple things he believes in?</description>
