FAO: Atheist

[led]

If they ain't got the latest Dan Brown, I'm not saying a word.

I am surprised you didn't say JK Rowling.

That's interesting, having never been to court I don't actually know what they do. I know that people of other religions can swear an oath on their holy book of choice but for atheists, I have no clue. The God Delusion?

So if you are to testify bro, will you just affirm before the bible or what?

Bibles aren't used in courts anymore. Not in California at least... I don't know what it's like in other states.

Calif doesn't represents the majority of the nations.

i had to go court once to lie for some guy who promised me some stuff if i vouched for his side of the story (long story). Im a muslim and before you go in the court guy asks you if you want to read an oath thing from the Quran (holy book) or some other funny oath sh.it like "i solemnly swear blah blah" i would have felt guilty as **** if i read from the quran and lied, so i chose that bull **** oath thingy instead but they insisted and asked why, and said i didnt feel comfortrable reading the quran one unless they let me go and wash my body (which was a lie cuz u dont have to) and he was like "are you sure?" and im like "are you questioning my knowledge of my religion?" haha, so i took that oath sh.it instead and laughed all the way through in my head. Thats some funny **** lookin back.

Anyway, to answer your question an atheist would probably take the oath thingy.

im in england, also i dont think i had to raise my hand either, just read it out of a peicve of laminated paper.

[Fury]

It's called an affidavit. I don't know why it would be laminated seeing as you have to sign it.

Yeah but swearing on a religious book seems like such an outdated practice. I would be surprised if most developed countries still did that. Even the ones that do probably give you an option to take a secular oath like the one vcvc was talking about.

Bible means nothing to me.

[Russian Crushin]

Hmm i dont know

Bible means nothing to me.

You mean you will just do the customary act. I think I'd do it too if I am an atheist.

i ask to swear on a superman comic book.

the stories are more plausible.

I have yet to see a guy with down syndrome testify in court.

i was in court last week here in jersey and they let me swear on the sesame street book.
