CNN.com - Non-Christian texts sought for courtroom oaths - Jul 27, 2005: "State law allows witnesses preparing to testify in court to take their oath either by laying a hand over a 'Holy Scripture,' by saying 'so help me God' without the use of a religious book, or by using no religious symbols." yeah, makes lots of sense. Because the oath of people swearing on a holy book means more, except that you don't have to swear on a holy book at all. There's a solution that only makes things worse; allowing more religious texts to be used for various religious, that can lead to people being upset that they can't swear on a disco ball, and then there is a solution that will fix things all nice and easy; getting rid of religious texts as a means of swearing an oath. We've already conceded that people need not use a religious text to make their promise binding. But will we take a sensible approach? Nope. We should just let people spit on their hands. |
