NC Republican reveals his ‘primary mission’ as congressman: ‘We’re here as emissaries for Christ’
I do find this terrifying coming from an elected official. Also--have to wonder about the folks listening to him! 
NC Republican reveals his ‘primary mission’ as congressman: ‘We’re here as emissaries for Christ’ http://www.rawstory.com/2015/07/nc-republican-reveals-his-primary-mission-as-congressman-were-here-as-emissaries-for-christ/ …
A North Carolina Republican told a religious gathering that his “primary mission” as a congressman was to promote the Gospel of Christ.
Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC) appeared last week alongside Reps. Trent Franks (R-AZ) and Louie Gohmert (R-TX) at the weeklong “Celebrate America” revival meeting in Washington, D.C., reported Right Wing Watch.
.......“I don’t hold fault with those who believe different from me – they just don’t know my savior,” Pittenger said. “They don’t know the one who loved me and gave himself for me.”
Pittenger said his chief priority as an elected official was to promote Christianity to voters and other lawmakers.
“That’s my primary mission as a member of Congress,” he said. “Yes, to serve my constituents, to serve my region, and my state, and my country — but we’re here as emissaries for Christ.”
The lawmaker drew gasps and then some delayed – but light – applause when he told the gathering that God loved President Barack Obama.
