>>Gosh, in some places you put your right hand on it and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, so help you God! Hopefully that is being done away with as we speak. <<

Who knows? That might be really telling considering that most of the founding fathers were Protestant. Hnmmmmmm.

Hint of Bible worship? Maybe.

Or, just maybe, in late great free America, there was a Truth that was understood to be objective and not subjective, and was used as the moral compass in our justice system.

There was a reason we didn't swear by Mary or any of the saints, or on ourselves.
