@Joelcool7:
How's that not appropriate? if he said that at an official government press conference then no I don't think it would be appropriate. However he was in a church when he said it.
He's the governor, regardless where he is.
Fact is all Christians sincerily would love for everyone to convert. I can say right now I wish you were my brother in Christ, is that inappropriate?
That is terribly inappropriate.
The Bible specifically instruct...
Seiously? That lame excuse again?
It wasn't meant to offend anyone.
But it does offend people, and any rational "smart" politician would see that.
Example I myself would have chosen the words, All Christians are my brothers and sisters and I would hope all non-Christians become my brothers and sisters.
he was simply pointing out he wishes that all non-Christians were Christian. That is a wish all Christians share and him expressing that wish is perfectly acceptable.
It's perfectly acceptable if you genuenly don't care if you offend others, and don't care if people like you or not. For someone who has the pretense of being be an elected official, governing over people who come from several backgrounds (including religious ones), it's a very inappropriate thing to say. Not to mention that all these religious pandering is just a method politicians use to recieve unearned trust from silly religous people.
