So help me God...

Lawsuit seeks to take "so help me God" out of inaugural

"Plaintiffs are placed in the untenable position of having to choose between not watching the presidential inauguration or being forced to countenance endorsements of purely religious notions that they expressly deny," according to the lawsuit.

Good god. This is a personal oath for the man being sworn in. If he believes in God, he should say it if he wants. We get a Buddhist, he can say 'so help me Buddha', we get an Atheist, he doesn't have to say it at all. No need for this crap.

Although I do wonder why God is on the money and not Loki? Loki is an awesome more badass god than the one in the Bible. ;)

Hi Patrick,

Please tell that to my ex-friend who is a militant atheist --;! He needs a good swift kick in the tolerance department ;b.
