Texas governor's religious remarks slammed
SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry has drawn criticism
from rival candidates for saying he agrees non-Christians are condemned
to spend eternity in hell.
Perry was among some 60 mostly Republican candidates for Tuesday's
midterm election attending a Sunday service at San Antonio's
Cornerstone Church, where pastor John Hagee said in his sermon
non-Christians were "going straight to hell with a non-stop ticket,"
The Dallas Morning News reported.
Afterward, Perry told reporters there was nothing in the sermon he
could disagree with, prompting quick condemnations from opponents.
"He doesn't think very differently from the Taliban, does he?" said
independent candidate Kinky Friedman. "Being obsessed with who's going
to heaven and who's going to hell is kind of a pathetic waste of time."
Democrat Chris Bell said a state leader should have been more cautious
in his remarks.
"God is the only one who can make the decision as to who gets into the
kingdom of heaven," Bell said.

That's not his business anyway.
Maybe what is hell for a Christian is heaven for a non-Christian,
and vice versa.
Can you see the irony here, that the democratic system was invented
in non-Christian classical pagan Greece - and that under a purely
"Christian" form of government, Perry would likely be a peasant
or serf, with no freedoms, and certainly no political power.

Especially for a governor.

Or that neither exist. Why do adults need these fairy tales?
