(REP) Candidate spends concession urging opponent to convert
After Minnesota State Senator Satveer Chaudhary, defeated challenger Rae Hart Anderson, he received a rather unexpected congratulatory email, RAW STORY has learned.

Anderson, an apparently devout Christian, spent most of the concession urging Chaudhary, a practicing Hindu, to convert to Christianity.

...snip...

"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???"

2. Leave it to a Republican to tell someone that
Who does she think she is telling somebody that?

6. Holy crap! What a loon. She spews Jesus-freak babble at him for FOUR more paragraphs!
What the OP posted continues right here:

"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

3. OK, well, she had her say
The winner can disregard her and go right on practicing as a Hindu.

No use saying anything about it to bring on cries of "persecution."

;-)

She sounds pretty forward though. Most people would find that seriously annoying, even if they were raised as Christians.

5. Because if you're not God's best friend . . .
He'll kill you, he'll fucking kill you!! Torture you for all eternity in a lake of fire! If God can't have you, nobody can!!

Gee, and you call this the "good" news? "Supreme being as psycho boyfriend" just doesn't seem right, somehow.

11. Send it to Betty
She might enjoy the lame attempt to do her one better. (By the way, can you believe how many people write to her thinking she's on the level? Forget literacy tests...maybe people shouldn't be allowed to vote unless they pass Sense of Humor 101.)

10. She fails to recognize the Minnesota VOTERS chose him just the way he is.


Anderson

These people need to develope a sense of propriety, and learn to respect their fellow man.
