I've got an idea

Instead of Bickering over this:

Swear on a copy of this.

This is the historical document which forms the basis of the laws in our country. Its a document our government, armed forces, and brand new citizens all swear to protect. I can never quite understand why no one else finds that as telling and important as I do. While the discussion about to what extent Christianity forms a part of our culture is an interesting and relevant one, it needn't become involved in discussion of the law. Our Constitution arises out of thousands of years of western culture, influenced by judeo-christianity, Greek, Roman, Celtic and Germanic influences. But relying on the bible for our legal decisions is like using the original DOS instead of Linux. One is old,unclarified, and comes with no technical support, while the other one is entirely customized for our system.

So why don't we go with the set of laws given to us by These Guys.

Which doesn't mean we can't still respect This Guy. It just means we have something a little newer, and especially made just for us.
