What is funny is you see things like this, and then you hear conservatives whine how they are being seen as being stupid knuckledraggers, and don't understand that things like this, the Texas GOP trying to ban school curricula based around logical thinking, or the doofus from Missouri saying if a woman got pregnant by rape, it wasn't really rape, cause the body wouldn't allow a woman to get pregnant from rape.....I am surprised some of the self proclaimed conservatives on this board aren't on here defending these clucks....
What they also don't realize is oaths like this are illegal, you cannot force people to say an oath. For example, schools cannot force kids to recite the pledge of allegiance, or make them say 'under God' if they object to it, the loyalty oaths they made people say back in the 1950's to keep their jobs were also illegal. What is really, really fucked up is these morons can't understand that an oath that is forced is meaningless, that oaths only mean something when they are said without coercion. Despite what tv dramas say, you don't have to say an oath to give testimony in court, once you agree to testify you are under oath, with the penalty of perjury facing you (the 'so help me God' is kind of stupid in the oaths they give, if God is really the judge of said oath, then why have laws for perjury? I think the oaths are outdated crap, with maybe the exception of going into office, though the president once he takes office has the burden of upholding the constitution.
I don't doubt these are Christians, though the issue isn't really one of religion, the dumber idiots in Christianity love oaths and they also love trying to force people to say them, these are the same people who want forced prayer in public schools and such *shrug*
