What can I do if I am forced to swear on a Bible by a magistrate?
I work in loss prevention and was down at a magistrates office where I was told that I must put my hand on the Bible and "swear" what I said was true. After notifying the magistrate that I was an Atheist, she proceeded to tell me that I may "affirm" but still had to place my hand on the Bible to do so. I then asked what she would do if a Muslim were to give an oath; her statement then was, "Well I have never had that come up." So I was forced to place my hand on the Bible anyway or I could kiss my warrant good bye. What can be done legally to assure this practice is not imposed on others?
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics9 years agoWhy does everyone believe God exist?
God does not exist, he is a mental illness that people endulge on themselves for comfort and security. Does anyone ever have any proof of his existance aside from the BIBLE which people often quote!? Well the Bible is not proof! It was written by MEN not "GOD" If your seeking salvation, seek reality and accept things you cant do or change... Living a lie that someone is watching over you only holds you to your situation at hand. In other words, learn to be an adult and use your mind, not what YOU HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO BELIEVE.
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoAre my rights being violated as a worker?
I am a Loss Prevention proffessional for a major retailer. Because I work for this retailer, the retailer is always the prosecutor. Recently the police department has required that all reports from Loss Prevention personnel must be reported under our own names and addresses. This is an unusual and frankly disturbing practice. Does anyone know of feel as though this is a violation of my rights as a worker? I cant help but feel as though this department is putting myself and family at risk because it is something they feel is the right way to do things. Remember, I work for the retailer, I am not the one filing the charges, the retailer is.
1 AnswerLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWhat is a "Real Christan Man?"?
Is this man a man that only believes in God because he is weak inside? Is this man really so sensitive as a man that he feels belittled by this fact? Is this man that claims God runs his life nothing more than a child in an adult body? Why do Christian women look for a man that will run from a fight using the excuse that Jesus would have done it?

How is equal opportunity equal when you pull applications based on race and sex as opposed to qualifications? Sounds pretty racist to me...

If you were with someone for 8 years, went to war and found out they were not faithful. Tried to make up over the next few years only to break it off because of it, how would you train yourself not to be insecure with your new partner whom is awsome?
