We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

WARCHILD, I think they use faith based books, as when a Muslim senator or rep is sworn in the Koran is used. Common sense tells me that if a non believer was to take a seat in public office that they would just affirm that they would carry out their duties. That would work for me.springerdave.

No one is required to swear an oath, merely affirm that they're going to tell the truth.
If I'm ever a witness, I plan to have fun with that if an attorney tries to limit my testimony, or if I'm directed to simply answer the question as asked. "I'm sorry, your honor, I swore to tell the whole truth, and unless I'm allowed to answer fully, I fear my testimony might appear to suggest something that is not the truth."
