santorum introduced with a "non-christians should get out"
Fun times!
"I don't care what the liberals say, I don't care what the naysayers say, this nation was founded as a Christian nation...There is only one God and his name is Jesus. I'm tired of people telling me that I can't say those words.. Listen to me, If you don't love America, If you don't like the way we do things I have one thing to say - GET OUT. We don't worship Buddha, we don't worship Mohammad, we don't worship Allah, we worship God, we worship God's son Jesus Christ."
In a revival type speech, Greenwell Springs Baptist Church pastor Rev. Dennis Terryintroduced Family Research Council president Tony Perkins and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Christians, according to Rev. Terry, are the conscience of the state and even the key to turning the economy around. The pastor offered some pointed words about abortion, gay marriage, and prayer in schools, shouting about 'sexual perversion' and putting God back in Washington, D.C., as Senator Santorum was seen clapping, if not cheering, in the background.
?I know what?s in his heart. It?s the fact that he?s a Christian,? said Vickie Raabe, a 69-year-old Baptist who told the Washington Post she would be voting for Santorum in 2012. Evangelicals have become Sen. Rick Santorum's major source of support in the 2012 election as they turn out in record numbers for the Catholic candidate.
But as then Presidential hopefuls Senator Barack Obama, Gov. Sarah Palin, and Senator John McCain found out, endorsement from pastors can be a double edge sword.
At the end of the evening Rev. Terry prayed over the presidential hopeful asking for God's will to be done in the upcoming election intoning: "God, have favor on Rick Santorum."
Re: santorum introduced with a "non-christians should get out"
Now that I know almost no one here watches Bill Maher...
This reminds me of a segment he did a few weeks ago. They interviewed a bunch of people in rural Mississippi (the poorest state) asking why they were Republican/not voting for Obama. One guy said, "This is AMERICA and the president should be AMERICAN. Not Muslim!" Oy.

I'll never understand this, no matter how many times it's explained to me. "There is only one god and his name is Jesus... We worship God's son Jesus Christ.'
So if Jesus had a son he could be Jesus Christ III?
holy hell. Our country is broken. We need a new one. Some of us do worship Buddha, or Mohammed, or even worse, the Mother.
And this-- I feel the exact same fuckings way: If you don't like the way we do things I have one thing to say - GET OUT.
I would love to see what this country would look like if everyone who doesn't worship Jesus did get out.
I'm sorry, but Google's servers crashed last night and won't be back up until Monday. Our employees don't work on the Sabbath.

Alright everyone, you heard the man. Let's get out of here.
I'm thinking Fiji.
"I don't care what the Constitution says, I don't care what the Founding Fathers say, this nation was founded as a Christian nation...There is only one God and his name is Jesus."
There, I fixed it for him.
Whoa. Just whoa. WTFF? And...JFC!!!!!
And, BTW, Buddhists don't worship the Buddha. Just sayin.'
Rick Santroum can bite me.
Although, Fiji could be nice.
Mark Zuckerburg, George Soros, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett, get out and take your money and your fancy technology with you. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Johnny Depp, Julianne Moore, Jodie Foster, and the rest of you Hollywood types, take your entertainment elsewhere. Ricky Gervais and Helen Mirren shouldn't have been allowed in in the first place. Stephen Hawking and the rest of you smart heretics, GTFO. We don't need your kind bettering us up. And take the Jews, Buddhists, and Muslims with your atheist asses.
This country was founded on JESUS!
I don't believe in Jesus. I should leave? You people would last 6 months tops without bagels. NYC would be a ghost town.
Best of luck Santorum.
Fixed that for you. And there is no bagel like a Jew made bagel. Gentiles don't have the touch.
my read shelf:
I'm a menstrual bitcher from hell today and I am stealing this for my FB and I will credit the random smart person on the internet. YWIA.
I love Jesus, but I don't want him to run my country.
I'm a big fan of Jesus. His more vocal followers, however... they give love a bad name.
But Obama is already President!
I work with alot of Fijian's in NZ who say they miss celebrating the three main holidays there : Christian, Muslim and Fijian nationals. They made it sound like one big party..
I want to know about those of us that don't believe? Are we better or worse in these peoples eyes than those who belive in "others"
Above Us Only Sky
The trinity is "one." Not all Christians believe in the trinity either.
This just makes me laugh so much. This is the exact opposite message I recieved in my lenton sermon this week at my United Metodist Church about Jesus and the reason he died on the cross. He died sticking up for the non-majority and his message is we should do the same. How have we gotten so far away from this message as christians? Don't follow the herd. Stick up for your fellow man and be tolerant and kind.

In the Holy Trinity, Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are all the same "entity." I don't really get it, but what I think the gist is that Jesus is man-god, God hangs out in the clouds watching over us and the Holy Spirit does work on earthk, like a god-ghost. But really, I never really 100% understood it. I also kind of believe heaven is like a night club, so there you go.
Guess I'm out!
