hand on bible - 16 November 2009 19:23 ( #1 )

Why is it that have to put your hand on the bible when in court and what would happen if u refuse
I have been in court a few times and everytime ive had to do this and ive never questioned it before
I dont believe in god so the next time im in court and the judge asks me to do this,they will be getting told to get the fuk as i dont believe in all that stuff
I would think that i have a right to do this

You have the option not to do it. Even as a juror i had to be honest and choose to take the option not to swear on the bible as i think it's a load of very old fairy stories.

Can't recall the specific details but it was basically a pledge to tell the truth and do the right thing etc.
