[QUOTE="Ringo84, post: 56001268, member: 157762"] Do Supreme Court justices say "so help you God"? And if they do, does that have the power of the government behind it, or is it a statement of personal devotion to truth? Must be, as the government is Constitutionally prohibited from taking an official position on religion. I'm glad you asked me that. No...seriously. It allows me to define my terms. An official government position on religion would be the government - or a representative of the government - claiming that Christianity is the only way to God, or the government taking sides on doctrinal matters, or the government establishing religion.
