Religion is, of course, a wonderful thing.
But, especially when it gets mixed up in governance, it can go too far. I have depopulated provinces and kingdoms. But I did it for the love of Christ and his Holy Mother.

But the influence of the Christian right on the Republican party has, in my view, become disproportional.
