Way to stand up for the faith, Rick. Strayhorn and Friedman showed their true colors. And didn't Friedman recently cut an ad quoting the Gospel of John?

There are many ways to heaven

Not according to the Bible, there aren't.

In Sunday School when I was a little kid I remember my Sunday School teacher telling me that those who don't believe and accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior hell is exactly where they go.

[Question Liberal Authority]

When the guy starts blowing up 1,000 year old statues, beating women on the street for showing their ankles, and sawing off the heads of infidels with a rusty blade, THEN you can say he's "just like the Taliban".

The writer of that article used words to form sentences, JUST LIKE ADOLF HITLER.

Carole Keeton Strayhorn, disagreed with Perry, opting for a multi-path religious belief. "There are many ways to heaven.

Sounds like Tough Grandma found a loophole.....or is using an unknown Texas tollway that Perry doesn't know about.

You can respect other religions by allowing them the right to worship. But they still are wrong.

One difference between Rick Perry and the taliban is that Perry doesn't lop off your head when you disagree with him. That is significant, I think.

No one is condemned to Hell, they choose to go their themselves.
Thats what free will is all about.

Firstly, I spit on the so-called "Wall of Separation" when it is applied to EXCLUDE Christians from the poitical process.

Secondly, I don't know if this is an integral part of the political battle between candidates.

Thirdly, that said, I really respect this man for taking the risk to say this, as it (sadly) may work against him.

Forthly, there was a time when saying this wouldn't be anything more than confirming what almost every American believed. (Go read up on Abe Lincoln's call for a national day of fasting and repentance!)

Fifthly, I want to go back there!

Whooboy, can I steal that tag line?

I knew a man who was a U.S. veteran of WWII, and was captured by the Germans. He got along for a little while on his blond hair and blue eyes, but the Krauts did eventually learn that he was JEWISH. He eventually was able to escape a concentration camp and get back home.

He was a Jew until the day he died, and one of the most upstanding and kind men I have ever known. I expect he was faced with a choice when he hit the pearly gates, as Jesus asked "Can you hear me now"?

I agree with the Gov's caveat, and people like the man above bring their common sense with them to heaven.

[seanmerc]

Well-said, Governor Perry! Jesus is the only way.

How seriously can you take a guy named Kinky, anyway?

[Cyclopean Squid]

Perry could say pretty much anything he wants and will still win easily. Maybe not with a majority but with a sizeable plurality.

Politically Incorrect Salvation by philosopher, theologian and debater-of-atheists William Lane Craig. Long and somewhat dense, but still accessible.

[Scotswife]

No one goes to the Father but through the Son.
The Son is in charge...He never specified how he would deal with everyone, and it is up to Him how everyone's soul is treated in the end.
We often think we have all these things figured out, but God's ways are higher than ours.

I don't believe God will send people to hell because they happened to be born into the wrong religion, or non-christian part of the world.
Jesus was very concerned with the state of a person's heart - how much did they love others?

IMHO - it has much more to do with love than with doctrine.

"Being obsessed with who's going to heaven and who's going to hell is kind of a pathetic waste of time," he said."

Only if you don't believe in heaven and hell. Otherwise, I can't think of a MORE important issue to devote your time considering.

[Soul Seeker]

Okay, Kinky supporters.

Your choice just compared Christians to the Taliban. Defend that. Far as I can tell that is no different then My Senator praising Osama for building schools and repairing roads. Both are nuts.

Now I know not everyone is a Christian, and I know there are some people hostile to Christianity in Rep Ranks. But last I checked believing Christians TODAY were not calling to murder millions of non Christians if they didn't convert.

[MEGoody]

Opponent declares Perry 'doesn't think very differently from the Taliban'

Perry's opponent is simply a moron.

[Hegemony Cricket]

But, unlike the taliban, Gov. Perry probably doesn't believe it is his job to send people there...

[JFC]

Kinky is the pne who keeps using the GOOD SHEPPARD stmt in his ads............. Go Perry WIN and WIN BIG.
