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

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.

Hey Shane, if you give up on One Tough Grandma, how about Kinky Friedman ... he doesn't judge anyone :)

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.

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.
