Ah, Texas, land of Satan-fearers. I really have to say, I regard anyone who believes in Satan as not in their right mind, and thus not fit for public office, but nobody in their right mind would want to hold public office in Texas, so there's a problem there.

Ever notice how these Republicans will quote the Old Testament, they'll quote Paul, they'll even quote selected parts of the Bible, but they scrupulously avoid quoting Jesus? Especially the Sermon on the Mount. If their religion was true, they'd all be going to Hell for hypocrisy.
