Georgia official takes oath of office on Malcom X autobiography instead of bible

------ so her counterpart feeling up a religion book from two, three thousand years ago while swearing is 'having a clue"?
Of course it is having a clue. But now that is discussing the larger subject between those who know and serve God and those who neither know or care to know God or do much of anything about it. You must think when you die you evaporate into oblivion, which is the only reason one would not care about this life in eternal terms. But for those of us who know and worry about sin, we are the grateful ones.
How exactly does any book -- Holey Babble, Malcolm Bio, Hustler Magazine --- empower an oath anyway? Some kind of magic flooby dust in there? Say, what if a page was ripped out of the book before the oath? Does the public servant get a day off?
I doubt any book “empowers an oath.” I guess when witnesses in trials used to put their hand on the Bible and swear to tell the truth it was indication they were bound to be honest beyond just their word but also because of their allegiance to a God to whom they strongly believe in and want to honor. Same for taking an oath for office. This woman who used Malcolm X is telling me I do not care about “your God.” That concerns me more about her beliefs and ideas much more than the fact she happens to like Malcolm X as well.
 
A Georgia county official has taken her oath of office by placing her hand on The Autobiography of Malcolm X instead of on the bible, as is most common during American swearing-in ceremonies. Mariah Parker, a 26-year-old doctorate student who was elected to the Athens-Clarke County commission, said that she turned down two other options presented by officials at the swearing in before she picked the autobiography.

Just because your narrow world view thinks she wasn't "properly" sworn in, well..................hate to tell you, but she was.

There is zero requirement to use a Bible to swear an oath of office. And, if you check out the link, you would see that there have been several objects used, not just books other than the Bible.

A Brief History of Oaths and Books

But the use of any text during a swearing-in ceremony is, if not exactly a gimmick, at least more style than substance. There is no constitutional requirement for any federal official—firefighter, ambassador, or President—to take the oath of office over a particular text or, in fact, over any text at all. This explains why LeVine was able to swear over the Constitution rather than the Bible, which is a much more common choice. Legally, if not diplomatically, “Moby-Dick” or “The Cat in the Hat” would have been just as acceptable.

So you denigrate the book without having read it. And you make claims about what he thought without reading, his own words, about what he thought.

Ok then.

Then why did you contrast two before-after periods with a time marker referring to Islam?
Oopsie --- bustid. :oops:

All day and night, and that's all you could come up with?

Actually if placing one's hand over a book as if it were some magical talisman had any merit at all, using the Constitution (nation or state, whichever applies to the office) would make a shit-ton more sense. Otherwise we should expect biblically-sworn officials to be keeping slaves, offering their daughters up to rape squads and bashing babies' heads against the rocks.
 
I don't care if Mariah Parker takes her oath on an old Playboy as long as she serves the people of her county well and with honor.

Based on her raised fist and the book she is giving her oath on, I would say it's highly unlikely that she will serve without any deep seeded biases.

"Deep seeded" huh.
Actually I like it. Might steal it.

So what kind of deep seeded biases do you figger are held by people swearing in on the Holey Babble with its scenes of rape squads, slaves, stoning people to death and bashing babies' heads against the rocks?

Much more basically, why the fuck are officials swearing in for a secular office in a non-theocracy, using a religious totem?
