The Bible is Not "America's" Book

Check out this email from the American Family Association

It's about the newly elected Rep. from Minnesota, who wants to be sworn into Congress with his hand on the Quran, not the Bible. The AFA is asking Congress to pass a law that would make it illegal for a Member of Congress to be sworn in using any book other than the Bible. Money quote:

What Ellison and his Muslim and leftist supporters are saying is that it is of no consequence what America holds as its holiest book; all that matters is what any individual holds to be his holiest book.

Well, yes...don't dictate to me what is holy. And "America's Holiest Book?" Sweet Jesus...how can you claim to be so "American" and have such total disdain for the First Amendment? If making the Bible "America's book" isn't establishing religion I don't know what is.

This email, though shows the AFA for what it is -- another group that wants to pass laws making its version of Christianity legally compelled for everyone.
