With all due respect Burke, I don't find the original poster's lunar signs and prayers any harder to take seriously than your (presumably) Judeo-Christian signs and prayers. It is all hocus pocus to me.

I'm not saying you can't exercise your religious beliefs, or shouldn't. What I'm saying is take your religious beliefs for a nice walk BEFORE going to your polling place.

I mean c'mon, do you pray over your decision of which doctor to choose too?
