Ummm... because the concept of swearing in a court is an ancient, outmoded and ultimately meaningless custom that probably should be scrapped?

Well obviously. If I would have to testify to an American court...
Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you god? No... I don't believe in god so I can't swear to him.
Then I get arrested for being a hostile witness and we can all have a big laugh at the American justice system.
Anyhoo, thinking outside a courtroom. From time to time you read these stories about people claiming to having seen god, jezus or holy virgin Maria. Yet, even in a country where god sits next to the president, people say that the person is crazy and should go see a shrink. WTF is up with that? So, you all claim god exists, you kill people to make a point that he exists, you pray to him every day and you go to church every week, but when someone claims to have actualy talked to him we all go OMGWTFBBQ THAT CAN'T BE! YOU MUST BE CRAZY! OFF TO THE MENTAL HOSPITAL WITH YOU!
Am I the only one seeing the irony in that or...?
