[Cicero]

The important thing about taking the Oath of Office is that it is a solemn Oath.

The traditional Christian belief was that if you violated a solemnly sworn oath to God, you went to Hell.

Well, I don’t know how much leverage that has with many people these days. But that’s certainly the kind of solemn oath you want—something that will be taken seriously, so seriously that a violation means the loss of salvation.

That’s why, for instance, a POTUS swears to uphold the Constitution, but swears to do it on the Bible. The Bible is not necessary, but it’s a reminder that this is an oath taken with God as witness—and enforcer.

[Old Landmarks]

Liberals have spent decades of brainwashing efforts to remove any and all understanding that their is a God who actually can and will judge sin to which most liberals devote their lives, which of course includes Lying Under Oath.

To them, (not to those who gave us the constitution and other very important things like taking a real oath to God) the only view of reality upon which our freedoms could stand was the world view that their was a Creator to whom we will answer, (even for things meaningless to liberals, such lying under oath).

All exceptions only prove the rule.
