kcpragmatik: Bt come to think of it....what is the essence of swearing on a "holybook" when I have a CONSCIENCEgood point but u see we humans think we are smart and thats why we need such things as swearing on a holy book, or swearing on ogun's iron. its suppose to create fear and even if u give a false statement the spiritual force behind that swearing is to pass swift judgement on u. |

kcpragmatik: Bt come to think of it....what is the essence of swearing on a "holybook" when I have a CONSCIENCE That's simple logic! If courts functions way better at ascertaining delusions then why cling to biblical oaths when In fact it got nothing to do with Judiciary measures and has no role of ruling on trials or whatever criminal prosecution. |

"In judicio non creditur nisi juratis" - In a court of justice no one is given credence who is not sworn. So if we dont swear in a court of law, we wouldn't be given credence...just asking! |

Sniper_One: I just feel the court is supporting its flaws with the "abstract".... |
Re: When Atheists Are Tried Before The Court, What Do They Swear On? by SniperOne: 3:46pm On Oct 02, 2013 |
kcpragmatik: This would just render the court's proceedings Inaccurate and Imprecise from the fact that It would offer verdicts on crimes with It's bearing flaws regardless of the 'abstract' provided which In real fact a trifle amount of agnostics will endorse. Sounds pathetic!! |

I just made a research about this...and i was told they make 'affirmation' instead of swearing on any sacred material... |

macof: I really don't understand how some Africans can be so dumb and stupid and still be happy with such low life state that is such example of 'nairaland atheist'. Einstein call them 'professional atheist'. Dont be suprise bro Ask them do they know Ogun....they say yes, it mythical god. Ask them do they believe Ogun give them life? They answer No....Ogun doesn't exist. Ask them do they know Iron.....they say yes, it scientific element. Ask them do Iron contribute to life.... They say Yes, it scientifically proven. Do you see how silly some atheist are? Almost all of them do not know that Ogun literally is Iron. I know it get emotional if those you expect to reason faster and capture metaphoric stuff easily plays dumb. It even get worse when you try to explain but they turn back to your fact. A typical example was that dumb western slave accusing Ogun forgetting it literally Iron....and also dodging your logical questions. Let them be...they should wallow in stupidity and wander around in ignorance. I exposed one of them yesterday who said his ancestors are dumb.... Pls continue with your path and embrace what belongs to you. Cheers bro 1 Like |

Hmmn...an interesting question. From my experience, before anyone can be termed eligible to sit/stand inside the witness box, a certain protocol must be observed. The protocol demands that all witnesses must pledge an oath in order to validate the credibility and authenticity of their respective testimonies. But for the atheist, on the request of the witness, the final "so help me God" may be modified to suit him/her. |
