Guest First_Light_Law_Firm Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Ceremoniously, the 109th Continental Congress is sworn. Rep.-elect Kieth Ellison (D-Minn.), insists on using the Koran rather than the Bible as the "chosen book." Can anyone draw an analogy to hunting? Example: It is like shouting "I love the rut!" from your stand. True or untrue, it is not the right place and time to do it. Other comments and observations are welcome.

mike Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Re: Constitutional Freedoms as for the congressman, that took guts! but i he believes in the koran swearing on the bible wouldn't meen anything to him. so he chose to swear on something he belives. shows alot of honesty and being an upfront kind of guy. geuss thats why we have freedom of religion in this country. could you imagine in a christian tried that in the middle east? as for an anology yours seems to fit pretty well with that situation, i'll have to think about that for awhile!!

However, even though it should cause other bucks to move toward other hunters, most woodsmen wouldn't appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jason88 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Re: Constitutional Freedoms i personaly don't want to use the Koran, but as a country that is pulling away from anything that has to do with the 1 true God, i would believe it.

wtnhunt Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Re: Constitutional Freedoms Dont know about using an analogy with hunting, but think the idea of the Koran as his "chosen book" with what is taking place in this country could not come at any worse time. Maybe an analogy would be for a hunter who just killed a deer to say they support peta???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest michael_bolton Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Re: Constitutional Freedoms putting my hand on the Koran couldn't be anymore meaningless, waste of my time and a disrespect to my God who gave us the Bible to help us find true happiness. Question though, do Muslims believe in the old testament iike the Jews do? Always wondered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stellfox Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Re: Constitutional Freedoms Actually the book that should be used is the constitution. They are there to uphold the constitution. The Bible or any other religious book should not be in the equasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, here's my analogy to hunting A guy does out during Elk season, and shoots a huge Trophy Whitetail. He swears the thing is an Elk and won't listen to his buddies. He brings it home, only to find out later he has made a huge mistake and has to suffer the consequences of his actions. Just because it looks like an Elk, doesn't make it an Elk. How's that...do I get a cookie or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Re: Constitutional Freedoms I think it's more like a peta member winning a sportman of the year award and then asking for a vegitarian plate at the wild game supper/ceremony.
