  • Do you have any problem with that comparison? Please explain.
  • Is dragging Jesus Christ into the conversation a form of political pandering? And if so, are you offended as a Christian? Please explain.

Edit: If you are not a Christian, imagine you were (indulge me here). Do you think you should be offended by it? If yes, why?
