The midterms are over, and we have a brand-new Congress. And once again, their#39’s not a single openly atheistic politician in the bunch. That's a little disappointing, but is not very surprising. But it'll be interesting to watch what will happen when all the newcomers take their oaths of office come January. Because in addition to swearing to uphold and defend the Constitution, they also put their hand on something. And that something is usually a Bible. Which is a little weird because thought we had separation of church and state in this country. But it's tradition. George Washington did it. Most, but not all of our presidents, have done it. But to be clear, there's no law that says you have to take an oath of office while your hand is on the Bible. Most people just tend to do it that way because that how is always been done. What if you're not a Christian, though? What do you do instead? Well, Muslim Rep. Keith Ellison from Minnesota, in 2007,said his oath of office with a hand on Thomas Jefferson#39’s copy of the Korean. Rep. Kristen Cinema from Arizona, in 2013,said her oath of office with a hand on a copy of the Constitution, which seems perfectly appropriate. A couple of politicians have actually made that very point when talking about things like abortion rights or LGBT rights, which are often opposed by religious people. When talking about things like abortion rights or LGBT rights, which are often opposed by religious people. They said they placed their hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution;they didn't#39’t put their hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible. Which is great rhetoric, but once again, why bother bringing a Bible into the whole equation? The argument I've always heard is that when you#39’re swearing to uphold the Constitution, you're making that promise on something that means a lot to you. So if you're Christian, it makes sense to swear in on the Bible, because you take that book very seriously. But from the outside, that makes about as much sense as saying:quot;I pinky swear that I'm going to uphold the Constitution.quot;I keep thinking, “Why don't you just do your job properly, instead of trying to convince everyone of why you should be trusted?quot;And putting your hand on the Bible doesn't#39’t even inspire a lot of trust in me, anyway, since we all know Christians who don't exactly do what the Bible says. I would take them a lot more seriously if they put their hand on a picture of their family instead. Overall, though, we ought to be judging politicians on their actions, not the promises they make, not what they swear on. The comedian George Carlin even joked about the whole charade of swearing an oath on the Bible. Like, “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?quot;” Yeah, I'll tell you about as much truth as the people who wrote that fucking Bible!quot;So remember this:If you're ever in a position where you have to swear an oath,...
