Yet another reason to stay far away from Alabama. Governor Robert Bently said the following shortly after taking the oath of office today:
“If you have been adopted in God’s family like I have, and like you have if you’re a Christian and if you’re saved, and the Holy Spirit lives within you just like the Holy Spirit lives within me, then you know what that makes? It makes you and me brothers. And it makes you and me brother and sister. Now I will have to say that, if we don’t have the same daddy, we’re not brothers and sisters. So anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I’m telling you, you’re not my brother and you’re not my sister, and I want to be your brother.”
Wow. How is this acceptable from any public official!?! Oh yeah, that’s right…he’s Christian so that makes this okay. Substitute any other religion in there and just imagine the outrage.
