"For me, salvation in Jesus Christ is the way, and what I try to do
as a Christian is to live that example. My responsibility is not to
convert all other religions, but to live the Christian faith in the
face of those religions. Are you going to say that my -- our friend
on the show tonight who is Jewish is on the wrong path? That's God's
choice. That's God's judgment, not mine."
