House Votes To Keep SO HELP ME GOD In Oath(VIDEO)
Post# of 65628
It seems that until the past fifteen or twenty years that there were some things that people didn’t really give too much thought about. Things that they did because they always did them and that they were the right thing to do.
One of those being when they were testifying to something in a court type setting they would always end with “So help me God”.
It wasn’t anything anyone thought about, it was just a point to make everyone understand around you that you ere letting everyone know that what you were about to say was the absolute truth the best way you knew it.
Now, the word God itself covers a wide variety of religions so everyone was effectively covered and the word God itself could be used as the go-to word for lack of a more appropriate term for every organized religion in the world almost.
So it wasn’t exactly like anyone was being left out.
Then you had one or two people that would threaten lawsuit because they didn’t believe in God and thought that they were going to melt or turn into a swarm of bees if they said the words or something like that.
It’s gotten all the way down to our most important of institutions where even Congress now is debating in their own halls whether or not to say it before giving oaths or testifying. It’s insane.
Via Breitbart:
Democrats on the House Committee on Natural Resources voted to retain the phrase “So help you God” in the oath witnesses say prior to their testimony.
According to Jason Calvi, EWTN’s Capitol Hill correspondent, Arizona Democrat Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who chairs the committee, said the draft that would have eliminated the phrase and reference to God was “a mistake”:
“So help you God?”
Should it stay or should it go in oaths?

The news that the reference to God would be eliminated from the oath created an uproar.
Republican leaders condemned committee Democrats’ plan to remove the phrase referencing God from the oath and replace it with the words “under penalty of law,” says a report at Fox News.
Reacting to the news of the removal of the phrase, House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney of Wyoming said, “It is incredible, but not surprising, that the Democrats would try to remove God from committee proceedings in one of their first acts in the majority.”
“They really have become the party of Karl Marx, ” she added.
The House Natural Resources Committee oversees national parks, wildlife, and energy.
