Mike Huckabee Quotes
And they would ask, well, now, are you one of those narrow-minded Baptists who think only Baptists are going to heaven? To which I enjoy replying, now actually I'm more narrow than that, I don't think all the Baptists are going to make it.
This is a brilliant political response to what could have been a politically damaging situation. Many Baptists in the branch of Baptism to which Huckabee belongs does not believe that people of some other religions can go to heaven. If the governor said he did not believe similarly, he would upset many of his coreligionists who were the core of his political base. If he publicly answered that he agreed some religions would be precluded from heaven, he would be regarded as narrow-minded and would upset many other potential voters from other religions. So, he gave an answer which dealt with the issue of heaven but never gave a hint of where he stood on the issue.
