At a morning sermon Sunday in Northern Virginia, Republican lieutenant governor candidate E.W. Jackson, a Chesapeake pastor, said people who don't follow Jesus Christ "are engaged in some sort of false religion." Jackson offered that view while describing a list of the "controversial" things he believes, and that must be said, as a Christian. "Any time you say, 'There is no other means of salvation but through Jesus Christ, and if you don't know him and you don't follow him and you don't go through him, you are engaged in some sort of false religion,' that's controversial. But it's the truth," Jackson said, according to a recording of the sermon by a Democratic tracker. "Jesus said, 'I am the way the truth and the light. No man comes unto the Father but by me.'" It is not the first time Jackson has weighed in with controversial comments on questions of faith and social issues. He has also said that gay people’s “minds are perverted. They are frankly very sick people psychologically and mentally and emotionally.” The Web site of the Restoration Fellowship Church in Strasburg, where Jackson spoke Sunday, includes a recording of Jackson’s sermon. But a short section that included the “false religion” comment was missing from that part of the recording. The church’s pastor, Jay Ahlemann, said he agrees with Jackson’s interpretation of scripture. He also said a member of his church staff told him nothing had been deleted from the recording. http://tinyurl.com/q6zs4gm - - - And once again, religion pulls politics into religion's crock of crap. |

It's one thing for an office seeker to say, "I'm Buddhist (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, et cetera)." It's quite another to say "I'm a Christian, and if you aren't, well, your religion is bull****, but mine isn't." Harry, 3every time you say something like 'rightie/christian/fundie" or 'christian righties' you're bringing religion into politics. Besides, since you say you don't believe in 'religion' or 'religions' then what do you care anyhow? |

Once again, Tim, I am *not* a politician, nor do I have any interest in running for public office, nor do I care if a politician *is* religious, so long as he or she does not try to push those religious beliefs onto society. I do, however, find the new pope's remarks in the last week or so interesting, among them these on poverty: “the consequence of a worldwide choice, an economic system that leads to this tragedy, an economic system that has at its centre the idol of money.” |

I do, however, expect them to not try to shovel their religious beliefs down the throats of the populace. Your low expectations are an indicator of the reason we have suck poor quality Govt. officials,top to bottom. |

How is a minor state official in a state that you don't live in shoveling anything down YOUR throat? You root this stuff out like a wild hog looking for tubers Why? Because these hypocritical faith-healing religious bigots are like cancers; they need to be sought out and excised from the commonweal to prevent them from getting a foothold, spreading and causing damage. It's bad enough Virginia has an ayatollah named Ken Cuccinelli running for governor on the Republican ticket. What the hell does that have to do with your side of the river? "...hypocritical faith-healing religious bigots are like cancers..." You know, they spread...like cancers. You get one religious bigot in office and there will be others. Or they'll run for higher political office, perhaps Congress. Then they'll be spreading their bigotry and superstition on national legislation. Now, I know there have been clergy of many faiths who have served in Congress. I'm not talking about them, generally, but only the ones who see as their mission the spreading of hatred. So, I had no objection to the political life of John Danforth of Missouri, a minister, even though I was on the opposite side of many of his political positions, such as support for the least competent Associate Justice, Clarence Thomas. Danforth isn't a religious bigot. |
