Human rights advocate and Presbyterian minister Jim Rigby believes that the “use of the governor’s office to promote one religion in a country with such rich religious diversity is obviously unhealthy politics” — but that, “if one takes the Christian and Jewish scriptures seriously,” it is also “unhealthy religion.” Rev. Rigby offers five verses of relevant scripture that we aren’t likely to hear at Gov. Rick Perry’s Christian prayer event.
