Alabama Governor: Not Christian? Not my Brother

[dbackjon]

Alabama Republican Gov. Robert Bentley is kicking off his first term in office with a bit of controversy, telling a church audience Monday that he only considers Christians to be his "brothers and sisters."
"Now I will have to say that, if we don't have the same daddy, we're not brothers and sisters," he told parishioners at a Baptist church in Montgomery Monday shortly after being sworn in. "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."

I don't actually see what's so terribly controversial about that, other than that it does make a whole lot of sense....

Can you imagine the firestorm if a Muslim Governor said the same thing...

Pretty bold challenge considering he made it at a church.

I just phoned Jesus, he said to send him back in for warranty repairs.

In the middle east, it's a requirement.
