Has anybody tuned into the Mike Pence "town hall" on CNN? [View all]

I guess the guy must be running for Pope or something. He's brought up religious references and his faith and praying to Our Lord Jesus Christ...

Hey, as some here may know, I'm a lifelong (if lapsed) Catholic, and I'm still basically a believer. But Good Grief, I don't use every other sentence to shove my religious beliefs down somebody else's throat! And in such a simpering, sanctimonious way, too! I feel like I'm about to lapse into a diabetic coma and I am not a diabetic. I guess it's his idea of sincerity, but Holy Cannoli, does it read as phony as all-get-out. ICK!!!!! I feel positively sticky.

And here I thought America was a secular nation, with freedom of (and from) religion as each individual sees it. Not with THIS dude.
