Louie Gohmert tells Congress the ?good news? that non-Christians are ?going to Hell?

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Tuesday grilled a pastor who supports the separation of church and state, asking him why he did not share the “good news” that non-Christians were going to Hell.

At a House Judiciary Committee hearing about religious freedom on Tuesday, Gohmert told the Rev. Barry Lynn, who serves as the executive director for Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, that the Founders of the country — and Franklin Roosevelt — had often mentioned religion in their writings.

Lynn pointed out that he had received the Medal of Freedom from the Roosevelt Institute for his work supporting the freedom to worship.

“But that wasn’t awarded by Roosevelt himself?” Gohmert interrupted, before asking if the pastor understood that the “meaning” of being a Christian was to evangelize.

“Do you believe in sharing the good news that will keep people from going to Hell, consistent with Christian beliefs?” the Texas Republican wondered.

Lynn, however, disagreed with the congressman’s “construction of what Hell is like or why one gets there.”

“So, you do not believe somebody would go to Hell if they do not believe Jesus is the way, the truth, the life?” Gohmert pressed.

The pastor argued that people would not got to Hell for believing a “set of ideas.”

“No, not a set of ideas. Either you believe as a Christian that Jesus is the way, the truth, or life or you don’t,” Gohmert shot back. “And there’s nothing wrong in our country with that — there’s no crime, there’s no shame.”

“Congressman, what I believe is not necessarily what I think ought to justify the creation of public policy for everybody,” Lynn explained. “For the 2,000 different religions that exist in this country, the 25 million non-believers. I’ve never been offended, I’ve never been ashamed to share my belief. When I spoke recently at an American Atheists conference, it was clear from the very beginning, the first sentence that I was a Christian minister.”

“So, the Christian belief as you see it is whatever you choose to think about Christ, whether or not you believe those words he said that nobody basically ‘goes to heaven except through me,’” Gohmert concluded, ignoring the point about separation of church and state.

This useless cretin is proudly carrying on the Michelle Bachmann tradition of utter and incomprehensible stupidity.

Louie Gohmert is definitely worth the price of admission, that guy is a laugh riot.
Is he the stupidest man in Congress, the stupidest man who ever served in Congress, or the stupidest man who ever lived?

He has a right to believe what he wants, BUT the voters can vote him out.

The important part is...Does he support infraucture, science and investment in his own country? If not, then that's a better reason to vote him out.

What kind of pastor supports the modern day concept of "separation of church and state" authored by a former KKK member appointed by FDR? Wouldn't an agnostic pastor be an oxymoron? Some kind of moron I expect.

Gohmert ain't president. It matters what Barry Hussein says and what he says ain't good.

Next Gohmert will worry Guam is going to tip over!

Uh, Jefferson was not a member of the KKK, and you are not a member of the thinking public.

Step along right quick.

Known Judge Louie a long time and his main money man Bob Lehman (whom I really like, a true philanthropist but damn dumb when it comes to politics).

Louie is corrupt, immoral, a philanderer supposedly, and wrongfully and immorally accused one opponent of supporting child pornography while knowing he was lying.

Louie is going to have a tough time getting through the Pearly Gates.

Maybe you don't understand how this works.

See, this thread is about Louie Gohmert. If you want to start a thread about Prez Barry, why don't you do that. If you're gonna stay here, in THIS thread, address the subject of the thread.

Get it?

The letters that Jefferson wrote are not part of the US Constitution. It doesn't matter what Jefferson wrote when he was living it up in Paris. The freaking Constitution is the law of the land and it took a former KKK appointed member of the supreme court who hated and feared Catholics or Papists all his life to turn Jefferson's letters into Constitutional dogma and create the wall between Christianity and the government .

(1) TJ's writings on the government and how it operates ranks right with the Federalist Papers.

(2) You can write all you want about the non-existent separation of church and state, and we the better informed can laugh at you all we want.

And the OP is about that sick turd, Louis Gohmert.

As an agnostic, I stand with my brothers of faith, although I question GOD. It's not simply GOD that annoys the little atheists in here, and all around the country, it's the SUPPORT these people of faith give to the base principles that made this country what it is. Morals, ethics, principles, borders, language, and the desire of our once cohesive people to stand by these CULTURAL traditions....Most of todays left want one, some, or all these NORMS changed to one extent or another.

Such is natural for the 17% of American who think like you, but that has changed.

We won't be going backwards.

Gohmert ain't your problem and Jefferson's letters ain't the Constitution and the supreme court justice appointed by FDR was still a KKK member.
