Default President Bush, Jr. said Koran and Bible equal in truth
During his Inaugural speech today, President Bush, Jr. said the Koran and Bible are equal in truth.

His Vice-President, Richard Cheney took the oath of Vice-President on the Bible being held by a lesbian (one of Cheney's daughters).

Are President Bush, Jr. and Vice President Cheney promoting traditional Christianity or are they promoting heresy and blasphemy?

Also, President Bush, Jr. spoke against politicians who suppress the rights of women (such as the European Pope - by implication - who forbids women from becoming ministers/pastors based on gender discrimination) and said that as President of the United States he would work to end such basic violations of human rights.

Will the God of the Bible bless Bush, Jr. and Cheney or will the God of the Bible withhold blessings because of what was said in the Inauguration ceremony today which was broadcast to 6,000,000,000 TV viewers?

Well, I was not one of the 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 viewers , but I sure hope God's not to hard on George... he needs all the help he can get!

I am glad I did not watch it. Iam not sure about heresy or blasphemy. However, I am active online with different groups that work to protect human rights (women's and homosexuals) and what I have read just now is a sign of hypocracy(spelling), in my opinion.

The President wants to put more Justices in the Supreme Court that will overturn Roe vs. Wade and take away female rights of their own bodies but wants to end the Church's discrimination that is gender based? I am glad he proposes to do that but I feel he should also keep rosaries out of women's ovaries since his main supporters forget about Separation of Church and State.

I really can't comment right now about Dick Cheney's oath because I do not know his stance on gay marriage rights. It would be unfair of me to assume that because he campaigned and won with the President that he is against the rights of gays.

I've been on the butt of too many "You can touch a Bible/cross and not burst into flames from being gay/pagan?" jokes/serious questions.

I apologize, Scott. That was posted when I first got home, and didn't have my wits (and caffeine) about me.

Self-government relies, in the end, on the governing of the self. That edifice of character is built in families, supported by communities with standards, and sustained in our national life by the truths of Sinai, the Sermon on the Mount, the words of the Koran, and the varied faiths of our people. Americans move forward in every generation by reaffirming all that is good and true that came before – ideals of justice and conduct that are the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Bush is not himself comparing truths, but describing the basis by which various communities form morals to be governed by.

Also, President Bush, Jr. spoke against politicians who suppress the rights of women (such as the European Pope - by implication - who forbids women from becoming ministers/pastors based on gender discrimination) and said that as President of the United States he would work to end such basic violations of human rights.
The Pope makes no such prohibition, this is a matter of Canon Law. Making this a feminist cause is silly, and comparing the Pope to t
