Harris Has No Fears
It’s worth taking the time to read the entire interview with Rep. Katherine Harris in which she dismissed church-state separation as a “lie” and preaches the need to elect Christian officials. Perhaps most striking is the lawmaker’s certainty about her future (and we don’t mean political):
FLORIDA BAPTIST WITNESS: Some day all of us have to give an account before God for what we have done. Are you certain in your own heart that when you come to that point of accounting that you’ll spend eternity with God in Heaven?
HARRIS: No question.
I guess she’s pretty certain that God doesn’t have any relatives who retired to Palm Beach.
