Well I do like the idea that people show their true colors so the people who voted them into office will know what they are and where they stand. An oath given by dishonest peeps is definitely worthless. It will be interesting to see who all the representatives are that antichrist. So tell me who will they take an oath to as they toss God out again?Forcing religion bad idea.Well now wait a minute hear. Some Democrats think you need it forced on you for your own good
...so do you agree or not??
Alrighty, so then you should agree with the Democrats here, because this is without a doubt forcing people to say religious shit they may not belive.
Correct.True, but there must be public recognition and acknowledgement of God's authority over the nation. Our political leaders must also recognize Jesus Christ as THEIR Lord and King.The Lord is the center of me and my husbands life and that won't change with or without an affirmation in an oath for politicians taking office or with or without an affirmation as a quote on money. I think people sometimes lose sight of the fact that God does not need government in order to be praised and worshiped. Just my opinion.
We have freedom of religion that the founders made a point of ensuring in the first amendment. As much as i'd love for people to follow Christ it is their freedom not to, and that goes for politicians as well.
The problem is that far too many on the authoritarian right fear dissent and seek to compel conformity – including those who engage in religious dissent and citizens who are free from religion.
Conservatives who seek to compel office holders to reference ‘god’ when taking their oath of office is an example of the right’s authoritarianism.
That Democrats wish to remove the reference to ‘god’ from the oath of office is perfectly appropriate and warranted, consistent with this Nation’s tradition of religious freedom – particularly given the fact that those who wish to reference ‘god’ remain at liberty to do so.
I agree, at least you agree the dims and their kkk and anti gun and anti country areThe reich has no credibility or ethics or morals.yep, and it's what civilization survives on. Morals, to which the left have zip. I know you all would prefer we swear to the leftist asses. why an oath at all? nothing, fk why even exist?Only theocrats want to FORCE people to say an oath to their so-called god.Dems to strike 'so help me God' from oath taken in front of key House committee, draft shows
A key committee in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives is moving to eliminate the words "so help you God" from the oath administered to witnesses testifying before the panel, as part of a new rules package expected to be approved this week, according to a draft obtained exclusively by Fox News.
The draft shows that the House Committee on Natural Resources would ask witnesses to recite only: "Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"
The rules proposal places the words "So help you God" in red brackets, indicating they are slated to be cut. Other rules changes relate to expanding the committee's authority over natural gas in Alaska and fossil-fuel resources.
While many federal oaths include the phrase "So help me God," some -- most notably the presidential oath of office -- do not.
The full committee is set to vote on the new language this week, and the rules would take effect immediately if adopted. Other committees were still in the process of finalizing their rules on Monday.

They are just trying to follow the commands of Jesus...
34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.

I disagree. I think they are just making it match the Oath the Founding Fathers put in the Constitution.
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:—"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Commies are the same God godless heathen regardless of what label they're packaged in.
Wrong. Jesus said marriage is a Male and female. Period.Republicans don't have anything to fear from us.
But they might have to answer a few questions from God.
I'm sure many people that believe in God are also okay with it.Commies are the same God godless heathen regardless of what label they're packaged in.
and yet less godless than the people fighting to keep a rule that is against the commands of Jesus himself...

Sometimes sarcasm does not work well on the internet. I was pointing out the irony of people that claim to follow Jesus fighting to keep a rule that is in direct violation to the commands of Jesus.
Wrong. Jesus said marriage is a Male and female. Period.Republicans don't have anything to fear from us.
But they might have to answer a few questions from God.
True, and he also said that divorce for any reason than martial unfaithfulness was a sin and that anyone that gets remarried afterwards is in a constant state of adultery...weird how Christians ignore that part of Jesus' teaching on marriage.

It's also one of the primary foundations of society Communists attack when they take over. If you remember your history, when The Communists took over the first thing they did was ban religion, burn down some churches, or convert them in to Office Buildings for The Soviet Union Elites.
The literally tried to stamp out all existence and mention of God in The Soviet Union.
Pure nonsense! People in the Soviet Union were free to practice religion in any way they wanted. Maybe you should talk to people that lived in the Soviet Union before you start blathering your nonsense! I've known Russian Orthodox, Roman Catholics and Jews who all practiced their religion freely in the Soviet Union.
The only restriction was that religious people were not welcome in the Communist party.
But since the actual Soviet elections ran people who were "The alliance of Communists and Independents", religious people did hold office. Independents were allowed to run IF they were considered to be the best qualified.
Stop promoting the mindless hearsay that you've been raised on and try finding out the truth before you start your blathering!
