KY GOPer: I’m Not Criticizing Hindus — I’m Inviting Them To ‘Love And Know Jesus’
KY GOPer: I’m Not Criticizing Hindus — I’m Inviting Them To ‘Love And Know Jesus’

At a campaign stop on Thursday, Kentucky Republican gubernatorial candidate David Williams, who is also president of the state Senate, took some more time to explain what he called “a little controversy that’s happened” — and called upon Hindus to come to Jesus.

The controversy in question, of course, is Williams’s attack on Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear participating in a Hindu religious ceremony at the groundbreaking for a factory run by an Indian company.

The Corbin Times-Tribune reports

When Williams said he wasn’t criticizing Hindus but did what Christians should do by inviting them to “love and know Jesus,” people nodded. When he asked if “isn’t it time that someone stood up for (Christians) for a change?” some applauded.

1. When did Christians become a persecuted group that needs someone to stand up for them?
Of all the religious groups in this country, it would seem that Christians comprise the dominant group.

6. It's the regressive Christians that being "persecuted"
Really, they're claiming to be persecuted but they have a active voice.

5. And if they invite him to know the diverse set of religious beliefs, traditions and philosophies of ...
Hindus, he will take the time to "love and know" their religion? LOL, these people make me ill and if I didn't laugh I'd cry. Yep, gotta have someone who will stand up for all those Christians who have no one to speak up on their behalf......do any of these people have a self check mechanism?

7. That is the same as that idiot televangelist trying to "witness" to the Dahli Llama.

Really? These morons know nothing of other religions. They think everything is of Satan and are cults. Hinduism has been around a lot longer than Christianity. Stop being stupid and read, morons.
Oh, and one more thing. Follow the teachings of Jesus and stop worshiping Him. When you're worshiping Him, you just make Him look like an asshole just like you.

9. If the typical GOPer loved and knew Jesus a little better, perhaps his/her ideology
and politics would be a little less vile. :patriot:

12. The David Williams of the world are the same reactionaries who
scream about their "freedom" being taken from them, all the while David Williams and company are taking freedom away from all of us.
