[Regarding Obama's swearing in as President]
If he really is a muslim (which I think he is), he'll swear on the Bible, because it really won't mean anything to him and when he swears to everything he's asked, it'll be like someone crossing their fingers when they promise they're telling the truth! If he swears on the Koran, then he'll have to keep his promises. Just my thoughts!!

So, he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. There is literally no evidence we could place in front of these people to prove that he is a Christian. They'll just deny it away like they do everything else.
"OK, but what if he swears on the bible, while eating a ham sandwich?"
Don't you remember? Obama is a a Pork Eater. They're kind of to Muslims what Daywalkers are to vampires. Obama can eat pork and get away with it because eating pork allows him to fool the Christians into thinking he's not a Muslim when he really is.

Good question. I think that atheists in court just swear "on their honor".
I suppose that he could do it on anything that has personal significance. Perhaps a copy of the Constitution? Which is not, contrary to W's opinion, a "goddamned piece of paper".
Though, really, all those things are just window-dressing.
Oh, grow the fuck up already! Seriously, are you on a middle school playground or something? "He's a muslim," "he has cooties," "he wasn't born in this country." For fuck sake, get over the fact that the far better man won the election. Get over the fact that he's black. Just get over yourself.
You know, I hope that five seconds after being sworn in, Obama says, "Oh, by the way, I'm Muslim" - whether he's joking or not. If he was Muslim (which, no, I don't think he is), then it wouldn't scare me more than if he was any random Christian; but either way, it'll be worth it to see every one of the Raptards shit their pants and die in convulsions. Quickest way to make this a better world.
As he is an American and, as the newly elected President, he swears to uphold and defend the Constitution. He pledges this on his life, his fortune, and his honor.
See, no religious malarkey needed.

What if he was an atheist? What would he swear on then? Seriously, would does an atheist swear on?
You can swear on your testes if you like.
Hrm...
After reading the Constitution, I must have missed the part where it mentions that the oath-taker must be sworn in using any holy text. It just says they must take the oath.
Personally, I don't care where is hand is while swearing, what religion he is, what color he is, what he eats, or wears, or if he does it standing on his head, as long as he upholds the Constitution to the best of his ability.
So...swearing on the Qu'ran...proof he's a Muslim.
He just can't win with you wingnuts, can he?
"What if he was an atheist? What would he swear on then? Seriously, would does an atheist swear on?"
Don't worry, it'll never happen.
Wait a freaking minute here! If he swears on the Koran, that proves he's a muslim(cause he swore on his Holy Book), but if he swears on the Bible, that doesn't prove he's a Christian(cause he might be lying)???? You are aware that this makes you a perfect close-minded Republican sheep, don't you?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
