Offended by candidate

It’s nice to see that the GOP has denounced legislative candidate Dan Johnson, as should all Christians.

This man is supposed to be a bishop in his congregation. Apparently, his is not a Christian denomination or he has absolutely no education in Christianity.

When he posts on Facebook that “Allah sucks,” he is saying that God sucks. Perhaps he’s too uneducated in his religion to know that Christians, Jews and Muslims all worship the same God. We may disagree as to whether Jesus is the son of God or a prophet, but God is the same for all three religions.

As a Christian, I am deeply offended by his un-Christian behavior as it tarnishes the image of Christ and Christ’s teachings.
