  1. I've testified in four states, and none of them have you swear to god.

    Bailiff:  Do you swear to tell the truth?

    Me:  I do...

    Bailiff:  Be seated.


  2. I was a witness for a crime once.  They did not mention "God".

  3. No, they don't. Not for a long time now.

  4. You're asked, "Swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" Answer, "Yes"

  5. Not any longer so people continually lie to the judge.  The fear of God is what makes a Christian tell the truth, because God hates liars.

    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
