Perry sees all non-Christians in hell
November 10, 2006
Religion has the luxury of excluding alternative beliefs. Politics should be inclusive. That’s a danger in mixing politics and religion.
Written by Editorial, Waco Tribune-Herald
In the last days of his gubernatorial campaign, Gov. Rick Perry sat on the stage next to the Rev. John Hagee of San Antonio’s Cornerstone Church during a Sunday church service.
About 60 political candidates were introduced to the megachurch’s congregation and a radio and TV audience.
The Dallas Morning News reported that Perry agreed when Rev. Hagee said non-Christians are “going straight to hell with a nonstop ticket.”
Perry said he believes in the inerrancy of the Bible and that people who fail to accept Jesus as their savior will go to hell.
