Grrr. Coworker G wanted me to reassure her that Obama had in fact used a Bible when making his oath. Oy. (In the first place, he did. In the second, so what if he hadn't?)

Is it just cause I'm in Illinois? I THOUGHT there was some "to do" about it being the Bible Lincoln used.

A (Humanist) friend of mine and I were talking once. In court if you're an Atheist you don't need to swear on a Bible, but if you're a Christian you swear on a Bible. Does that mean that an Atheist's word is "good enough" but a Christian's isn't unless the Christian swears on a symbol of their G-d??
