Yes, Senator Sanders, as a Christian I do believe that salvation comes only through Jesus Christ, and if you do not believe on Him, you are lost. Period. At the same time, also as a Christian, I believe in acting toward all others--those of other faiths or no faith at all--with love, respect, and gentleness. The fact that America was settled and established by those who were overwhelmingly Christian, and that they sought to protect the views and religious beliefs of others, should be an assurance to you that true Christians act as benevolently and peacefully as they can.
