Amelia Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Texas governor's religious remarks slammed Big News Network.com (UPI) Monday 6th November, 2006 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 Quote <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."</span></span> Eph 4:29</span><br><br><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetemp_both/US/OR/Fairview.gif" alt="Fairview.gif"> Fairview Or</p>
Dr. Shane Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I haven't decided who I am going to vote for. Although Perry is way ahead, it looks there is going to be a run off so I will likely vote for a run off canidate. I am thinking about voting for one tough grandma. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Dr. Shane Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I think I like the idea of the governor believing in justice. My libertarian ways are mostly behind me now. I did cast my vote for one tough grandma. I know she won't win this time but am hoping she will make it into a run-off although the polls are against her. Perry has done a lot for us on the border but I am disappointed in how he has handled education. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity
Dr. Shane Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Look's like Grandma is headed for retirement. The election returns are quite a bit different than the polls were showing. That is unusual. Perry wins! They got that right. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity
