You realize this statement reeks of "GFY Muslim woman and your religious affiliations" ? whoa...…….you really think "Christian" politicians swear on a bible with pure intent.....ok in the world of politics some are sincere....but what about centuries of lying, fake Christians making biblical oaths and promises under the guise of patriotism? Free pass? I'd prefer to swear without a book personally if I were voted into office. Whole lot of talking in tongues over the ages if you ask me...values are not well vetted in that world
It's only a matter of time before they'll be swearing in to Google or Microsoft on their iPhone of Blackberry....it'll be stored in the Cloud.....(oh my god that new senator used Yahoo!)
Stop calling people assholes or similar type names and i doubt you will have an issue. Don't blame him for your issues
Do you realize that only 2 of the women are Muslim? Ocasio-Cortez has a Jewish background and her family was converted to Catholicsim. Are you getting your "facts" from Kelly Ann Conway?
Yes, precisely because as it is now, Islam is Sharia Law which is incompatible with the US Constitution.
Islam, much like Christianity, is protected under the 1st amendment and just because some people practice Islam differently then others does not mean you should group them all together. Do you even know how she practices Islam or what she believes in? You spout off that its incompatible with the US Constitution , in that case then all religion is incompatible with the US Constitution but "we" have turned a blind eye to Christian and Catholics that go against the US laws and constitution to put their religious values and views into judgements and interpretation of laws. We are supposed to have a separation of church and state but it often gets ignored when the bible comes into play.
@Rhal The Catholics nor any other Christian church I know of is in conflict with the US Constitution. The Constitution was created so this would be true, Successfully I might add. I think you will find with a complete study that the same can be said of the Hindu and Buddhist as well as Shinto and Sun Tzu. No conflict. The only religious conflict with the US Constitution is with Sharia Law, which is integral with Islam. It could be there is another conflict but I do not know of it.
riverman, my good man! Many a men have fuck up in countless ways. I can't count one that I can attribute to Jesus. You seem to have overlooked his good work. I say this even though, I can not be a Christian, but not his fault, it is my own failing
Sun Tzu? It might raise eyebrows if a president swore their oath on The Art of War. But heck, if we are expanding the definition of sacred texts, how about swearing in on the February 1962 issue of Playboy? barfo
It works with the Constitution. But I probably would not do it. I was going to post this in reponse to your last post in the locked thread, but I found the thread locked when I hit post. I guess @SlyPokerDog decided to silence me. We will see. Repost. I have no clear cut answers for you. When it comes the the Bible with many authors, or the Quran, with not so many. Some parts of the Quran, it seems impossible to take literally, such as the midnight run to Jerusalem to confer with the big three, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Seems like something out of the Arabian nights on a flying carpet. But then most of it is supposedly written by Mohammad. I don't know. Then in the Bible the old testament or part of the Torah is probably written by multiple people of the Hebrew tribes according to the book Who Wrote the Bible. It seems some take it literally and others do not. Damned if I am going to back the correct way. Then the New Testament we are told was written by the disciples of Jesus, sometimes quoting the man, sometimes the God, either of which maybe speaking in parables. Some take it literally some do not. I usually defer to experts to help me with this. On a higher level, I find the teaching of Moses Jesus, Krishna, Buddha (Monks), Shinto Monks , and Sun Tzu very instructive and beneficial to men. On the other hand, I find Mohammad not nearly so beneficial, perhaps even destructive for most of mankind. I would even speculate that the Quran is a spoof of the other two religions of Abraham, choosing the original to double down on to inspire the authors followers.
