repuke candidate for VA Lt. Guv sez "non-Christians are engaged in ‘some sort of false religion"

[cali]

At a morning sermon Sunday in Northern Virginia, Republican lieutenant governor candidate E.W. Jackson, a Chesapeake pastor, said people who don’t follow Jesus Christ “are engaged in some sort of false religion.”

Jackson offered that view while describing a list of the “controversial” things he believes, and that must be said, as a Christian.

“Any time you say, ‘There is no other means of salvation but through Jesus Christ, and if you don’t know him and you don’t follow him and you don’t go through him, you are engaged in some sort of false religion,’ that’s controversial. But it’s the truth,” Jackson said, according to a recording of the sermon by a Democratic tracker. “Jesus said, ‘I am the way the truth and the life. No man comes unto the Father but by me.’”

It is not the first time Jackson has weighed in with controversial comments on questions of faith and social issues. He has also said that gay people’s “minds are perverted. They are frankly very sick people psychologically and mentally and emotionally.”

3. Some Clever Progressive Activist Ought To

Some clever progressive activist ought to get Mr Jackson onto the subject of Roman Catholics and Catholicism. If Mr Jackson espouses something like the traditional Baptist attitude towards Roman Catholics, the Virginia Lieutenant Governor's race ought to get VERY interesting.
