Ha ha ha !

Some great ones there, Walter !

I have first-hand experience of the atheist-in-court one.

I received a subpoena to appear in court [as a witness].

A witness called to the stand before I was declared himself an atheist & insisted on using a secular 'swearing in'.

The judge was annoyed by this & proceeded to give him a hard time !

When it was my turn, I declared my atheist belief & the judge asked "Will you be willing to swear on the bible, anyway ?"

Seeing what happened earlier, I agreed to do that.

I reckoned that me swearing on a book, & using words, I didn't believe in was their loss, not mine !

The judge was then very gentle in his treatment of me in that witness box !

I knew which side my bread was buttered !
