"I would worry if she were atheist"

[Curmudgeoness]

5. Holy shit!

That is beyond belief---although to be fair, I don't even know if other states, including mine, might have the same archaic language in their Constitutions. I do know that there was a huge fight in a small town here when someone who was elected to some town board refused to swear on a Bible, and they would not seat him because the law stated that he had to. Luckily, that was overturned when taken to court, but still.

I can see the relevance of refusing to do so, but to be honest, it would made zero difference to me to swear on a Bible or swear to god, because if I take an oath, it could be on a Cheerios box and it would mean just as much to me....because my word is my word. But those Christians, they must have some power to force them into being good, I suppose.
