[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3266778, member: 25679"] . The point is that this woman made a foolish error and the oath to do the job is not one to be taken lightly. It is a solemn and reckless thing to reject the seriousness of public office. And as for the hand on the Bible, it is the oath and tradition that at one time meant something that was more than mere words. The is why in a court of law that a witness is usually asked to place their hand on the Bible and solemnly swear that what they are going to say is the truth. Not just tradition or show but an oath before God-even if a person is an unbeliever. One doesn't have to be a believer to hold fast to the precepts of the Ten Commandments but if this nation did, it would be a far better nation. If only 1/3 of the citizens did it would be a better nation. As it is, a lot of people think that "if they don't get caught it's ok." [/QUOTE]
