ReplyDeletedegeete has not the authority to decide or change "the oath we're going to use today"
ReplyDeleteGuess all the testimony is not usable if not under oath.
ReplyDeleteTime for a change
Anti-God, anti-constitution, anti-gun, pro baby killing Democrats. Unbelievable how many on the Eastern Shore share their beliefs. Look at your neighbors. I guarantee you that many of them are Democrats.
ReplyDeleteNo reason to use it. Should have been eliminated long ago for two glaringly, obvious reasons.
ReplyDeleteIt compels speech that violates the right to freedom of religion. It is compelling a call and oath to a specific deity that someone may not accept as such. It violates citizens individual liberty.
Second, it is an obvious violation of the Establishment clause, and church state separation.

ReplyDeleteNope you are wrong.
You don't get to decide who goes to Heaven.
Jesus Christ saved ALL SOULS
Jesus Christ also instructed us to NEVER swear on the name of the Father!
Educate yourself.
