...interesting. I've sworn in for a couple of different duties with different agencies (to uphold/defend/protect federal/state/municipal/laws/defense) and was not required to put my hand on any "bible." I also "affirmed" for jury duty without any "bible" and would not want to do so with one. It is against the Way that I believe in.
So my word (to "affirm") is as good as it will get from me, and I don't want to do anything pagan.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
