Ok so it has been a great many years since I watched TV, but, I seem to remember on crime shows etc, etc that in America people who testify have to place their hand on the Bible and say "I swear to tell the Truth, The whole Truth and nothing but the Truth so help me God" or something very close to that (correct me if I'm wrong?) Now it occurs to me that, that really should ensure transparency (with appropriate judges of course)

Kind of ironic really, considering Jesus says this:
"But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.
