Swearing on the bible?
#10
RE: Swearing on the bible?
US Representative Keith Ellison swore on a quran. I know there is various swearing in on bibles done here in the courthouse, but I would politely decline and ask to give a solemn oath instead.

Another one is the swearing in of witnesses: the Court Reporter (stenographer) does the swearing in, and every one has a different script for it (and some a few), but they're commonly along the lines of "Do you swear or affirm before almighty god, the knower of all hearts, that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?" If I knew I was being called as a witness, I would request that the court reporter use one that does not invoke god.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
