...what is the difference? If you belive in God, does it matter which book you swear on? OR should you feel free to swear on any. What is the purpose of swearing in a political office with a Bible? Some Minnesota Congressman, a newly-elected Muslim says that he will be swore in with a Quran not a Bible on Jan 4, and some people say that he should step aside if he cannot be sworn in with the "religious book of America".
Ok first has anyone heard of seperation of Church and State.
And of course this begs the question, will this open the dam to other religions books. The Torah, a Wiccan whatever, the Bavad Gita, the Sihk holy book, Taoists, Buddists. If they gain political office here in America, will they also say, I swear allegiance only on my book.
But here is a thought. Who cares? If the citizens on Minnesota (for crying out loud) can elect a Muslim to Congress, do you think they care so much about how he is swore in, or what he does with his time the second after he is sworn in. Big picture vs. little picture...
