Rgarding the use of a bible in Court . Quote below is from a Ontario Court Handout
'Witnesses can choose whether they would like to swear on a bible, or a holy book of another religion, or to solemnly affirm they will tell the truth."
Having lived here all my life (47 yrs) in a Religous family ( Grandparents were Free Methodist ministers) I don't feel repressed or otherwise.
Many new reliqions and life styles have become more the norm.
Funny , doesn't seem to bother me .. maybe I'm just soft or too touchy feeling .
