The Whole Truth.
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
I have two problems with this: Truth and God.
1. Just about any assertion you can make is a lie. A lie of omission. This is because the "whole truth" includes everything. Therefore, if ever asked to take the stand, I must remain respectfully silent. I do not have a TOE, and if I did, I would still not have a COE (certainty of everything).
This brings up a philosophical question: Is the whole truth required to know A truth? Because I don't know everything, do I know nothing? And therefore, because nobody knows everything, nobody knows anything? It has been said, "I think, therefore I am." I have been told this and I don't necessarily see the truth in this statement, so I say "I think, therefore I am, I think."
I do not know the truth. I also do not know that I do not know the truth.
Okay, sorry about that. Back to the swearing in (shit!)
2. As for God, is that a god with a capital or lower case g? Is it a single god or can it be part of a pantheon? Whose god? Which religion? Which god? Do I have to choose? Do I have to state? Can it be me? For a satanist, can he therefore lie? Seriously. lol.
Perhaps it is against my religious beliefs to entreat God's help. Is there an implied support of religion or God?
God is love, and love believes all things.
