Subject: RE: BS: Atheists: No 'so help me God'
I keep my word, NOT out of fear but because it's the right thing to do. Something, I believe, that's true of most Christians.

You don't have to trust me. It's not my problem. I'm also not likely to trust anyone who needs fear of retribution to be decent. What sort of a person needs that motivation? I don't have a problem with people adding to their oaths so long as the required bits are in there. I'd have a problem if the 'so help me God' were required. Just a different sort of flag pin, I'd think. Just a show to appease the holier (or more patriotic) than thou assholes.
