[Chancellor Palpatine]

As a woefully inadequate and sinful Christian of a more contemplative branch of Christendom, I don't like pharisaic displays of hick theology, and I look upon somebody picking my pocket to pay for it as nothing less than theft.

How am I consenting to that? What about the atheist? What about the Shinto practitioner, the Buddhist, the Hindu? Where is their consent?

Where does that leave them?

Out in the cold--where they can contemplate those virtues that made their adopted country worthy of seeking. As to "hick theology," some of those squirrel shooting Kentucky Baptists were better at liberating the Jews than any of Christianity's more contemplative and currently irrelevant traditions.
