You made a good point about "wants". But then if you consider the notion of separation of church and state, then we need to ask if it is proper for him to use the bully pulpit to propagate a faith. There are other faiths like Buddhism which is similar to Christianity. The main difference: Buddha did not meet a violent death as Christ did.

Your comments are so disturbing to me that I won't bother to respond except to ask a question: How committed are you to the American democracy? There should be no problem with this. Every Christian should want the same because of the eternal ramifications of the faith. ie - There will be a judgement day. Those that have been deemed believers by the creator will experience eternal life with him. Those that dont will also have eternal life, but being tormented in hell. Most on this thread worry about feeding someone for a day or taking care of their health needs. A Christian is concerned about that but also the eternal health of all people. There is a difference. Notice the word "wants". It is not forced conversion nor should there be any detriments for those making other choices. So he is wishing everyone the best, which he should as a Christian and as a Governor.
