Republican Christian "congratulates" Hindu victor with sermonizing email

[Bluebear]

Sen. Satveer Chaudhary, a practicing Hindu, was re-elected to the State Senate of Minnesota in November. The following is the text a the concession e-mail message sent from his opponent, Rae Hart Anderson:


=======
Congratulations on winning the District 50 senate race. Your phone is "busy"...no doubt with good wishes!

I've enjoyed much of this race, especially the people I've met...even you! I see your deficits--not all of them, and your potential--but not all of it. Only your Creator knows the real potential He's put in you. Get to know Him and know yourself...you'll be more interesting even to you!

The race of your life is more important than this one--and it is my sincere wish that you'll get to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He died for the sins of the world, yours and mine--and especially for those who accept His forgiveness. His kingdom will come and His will be done--on earth as it is in heaven. There's more....I love belonging to the family of God. Jesus is the way, the truth and offers His life to you and each human being. Pay attention...this is very important, Satveer. Have you noticed Jesus for yourself...at some moment in time, yet???

God commends His love to us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

Death came upon all and was defeated by the superiority of Jesus' life and His tomb is empty. God in Christ is reconciling the world back to Himself, with offered forgiveness--this is one choice we get to make nose to nose with the living God--fear Him and you need fear no other. Become His family and know the love of God that passes knowledge. See Isaiah and the Gospel of John...good reading while waiting for fishes to bite.

God sent not His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
John 3:17

Jesus Christ lives in His earth family by His Spirit. He said He'd be back, and He said it first. You could invite Him to make the race of your life 'eternal'. God waits to be gracious to each person that knows they need to be forgiven. Do you? I think you do. Just ask. Christ won eternal life for you and said so. Take Him at His Word. Take some time to get acquainted with this power-filled Jesus...God with us. You could be a temple of the living God, by invitation---yours, TO GOD. :) There's nothing like belonging to Christ...not winning, not money, not degrees...it's the best.

Good wishes and better wishes...until you wish for the best!

Rae Hart Anderson

1. What would this guy say?

[JI7]

2. i'm wondering about the voters

the same people who voted for Anderson voted for someone who is a Hindu ????

[MnFats]

3. i thought we hashed this over right after the election...

....i know this woman....she is completely crazy.

[Bluebear]

6. I had not heard a word of it. nt

4. Best response is something like

Thank you for your concession and congratulations. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Regards, /s/

It's a very nice way of saying this, which is the actual translation of the above: You lost and you know it, and you were forced to acknowledge it to me. And as for your future, it'll be in the private sector, so ...fuck you!

5. Love the exclamation points!

Jesus loves you but you're going to hell anyway!

With love,
Rae!

7. "Pay attention...this is very important"

It's crucial that you be touched by his noodly appendage as soon as possible.

8. Someone should get her a list of all the Jews in congress, too.

Or perhaps she hasn't heard that Jews don't believe in Jesus as savior, either.

[rebel with a cause]

11. Someone should send her a copy of the constitution

with the freedom of religion section highlighted. Then they should send her a bible with some sections of it highlighted. Then they should send her a picture of a non-white Jesus. And then they should just send her their condolences for the loss of her freakin' mind.

[Warren DeMontague]

12. Ya can't lose something that you never had

but yeah, I agree with you.

[Ms. Clio]

9. Loathesome creature

jesus now that's what I call RUDE.

[Kiouni]

10. Since he's a Hindu

he'll probably laugh and just add jesus to the other gods and see little importance in the text.

That's why it's great arguing with Hindus because you'll (monotheist) say, "my gods better then yours." and they'll say, "ok, he can join."

[Bluebear]

13. Sounds like a nice religion! nt

[Hekate]

14. But Rae, honey, it was God's Will that you lose this election! He has other plans for you!!!11!!

What reeking condescension.

Minnesotans are electing some interesting people these days. I like it.

15. She sounds as though she's not quite right in the head.

Not because she's religious, but because of the way and the context in which she expresses it. Just as well that she lost.

Perhaps someone could send her the following Bible quote:

Proverbs:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.


Sounds as though the Lord wouldn't be too fond of her great leader Bush!

16. She comes across as a child...

reciting words she's learned from rote "His will be done", "Christ died for your sins", yadda yadda. Personally, hearing/reading those same words, same phrases, etc., isn't going to convince me of anything except that the persons saying them is :silly:.
