Potus poses with upside down, backwards bible for "photo op".
I can't help but think there is more to this than we are seeing. I've posted a few times but it got little traction, so this time with an uodate. The only thing that comes up in a google search that makes any sense is George Carlin…
“Swearing on the Bible, you understand that shit? They tell you to raise your right hand and put your left hand on the Bible. Does this stuff really matter, which hand? Does God really give a fuck about details like this? Suppose you put your right hand on the Bible and you raise your left hand. Would that count? Or would God say, 'Sorry, wrong hand, try again'? And why does one hand have to be raised? […] But let's get back to the Bible, America's favorite national theatrical prop.
Suppose the Bible they hand you to swear on is upside down, or backward, or both, and you swear to tell the truth on an upside-down backward Bible. Would that count? Suppose the Bible they hand you is an old Bible and half the pages are missing. Suppose all they have is a Chinese Bible. In an American court. Or a Braille Bible, and you're not blind. Suppose they hand you an upside-down, backward, Chinese, Braille Bible with half the pages missing. At what point does all of this stuff just break down and become just a lot of stupid shit that somebody made up? They fuckin' made it up, folks, it's make-believe! It's make-believe […] Bible or no Bible, God or no God, if it suits their purposes, people are going to lie in court.”
Maybe making a point that their oaths mean nothing to them or that peace with God is more from within rather than following certain rituals?
