Interesting.....will be interesting to watch this guy’s career.
He is being honest, he knows as a saved child of God through Jesus Christ, that all others are not given the name of being God’s children, they are God’s creation, and certainly he knows to treat all as God, as it is His life in all things, but only those who accept redemption through the blood of Christ are given to be God’s children, being a created being does not mean you are a child...Got Jesus?
I think if Alabama were mostly Jewish or Muslim instead of 80+% Christian, he’d be in trouble.
This is a foolish remark.
Anyone who is not a Muslim is my brother and sister.
I don’t think there is ANYTHING in the New Testament that infers Christ thought that.
As for the ADL, WHERE are they when Muslims spout typical anti-Christian, anti-Jewish rhetoric??? The Koran is full of crap like this directed at all non-Muslims.
Talk about throwing red meat to hyenas.
The Marxist media will turn him into chopped liver
before the day gets started.
Total, utter, unmitigated twaddle. Anyone with half a brain can see that in the context whereby the remarks were made, i.e. in a Church and as an exhortation for others to embrace faith, they are not in any way offensive and in no way imply discrimination.
Good for him. Proud of my new Governor already.
And the retraction and/or clarification will come in three...two...one.
——His comments are not only offensive, but ——
The conclusion to be drawn is that non Christians are offensive. To be claim to be offended for being offensive is not allowed
Toned down? Really, Mr. Taufique? Then in the interest of equality, how about toning down the rhetoric of Islam (Convert or we'll kill you)?
Unfortunately my home state of Alabama has, yet again, elected an idiot.
Yeah, he was probably speaking religiously. Anyone who knows what Jesus Christ taught and did knows He reached out to those who did NOT believe...so this kind of “furor” is ridiculous.
What if he said, “I’m not a Christian, so I’ll treat anyone and everyone any damn way I please—I’m not bound by this ‘Love Your Neighbor’ ethic taught by Christ.”
(You know, kind of like Obama—he refuses to help his brother, aunt, poor extended family—even though he is a multi-millionaire. But he has NO PROBLEM “spreading the wealth” earned by others for social programs he sees fit to endorse.)
The club is not exclusive, anyone can join.
They want their cake and eat it too.
His statement was completely taken out of context. And it wasn’t his inaguration speech it was at a church. But I agree he should be more careful with his words because conservatives don’t get a free pass like the liberals do. That said I think he is a refreshing change & is even refusing to take a paycheck until Alabama reaches full employment. I am proud to say I voted for him.
