Hindu American Foundation Condemns Texas Governorâs Religious Bigotry
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->According to The Dallas Morning News (November 6, 2006), Gov. Rick Perry, after attending a sermon with nearly 60 Republican candidates on Sunday, November 5, 2006 said that he concurred with the Rev. John Hageeâs comment during the sermon, in which Rev. Hagee said, âIf you live your life and donât confess your sins to God almighty through the authority of Christ and his blood, Iâm going to say this very plainly, youâre going straight to hell with a nonstop ticket.â The Governor told reporters that, âIn my faith, thatâs what it says, and Iâm a believer of that.â
He is later said to have remarked, âBefore we get into Buddha and all the others, I get a little confused there. But the fact is that we live in a pluralistic world but our faith is real personal. And my Christian faith teaches that the way is through Jesus Christ.â

I believe even Kathrine Harris (FL - senate candidate) said something similiar like 'electing non-Christians is legislating sin'. Glad to see Jesus disagreed with her and she lost by a pretty wide margin.
