God? Really? Seriously? God? WTF?

There is absolutely nothing the least bit logical about a belief in God meaning you can't lie.

Putting your hand on a bible (or any holy book) and/or swearing to tell the truth is meaningless.

Claiming to believe in God means you aren't lying is beyond all fucking reason.

Kennedy is going to say Kavanaugh swore to God he didn't do it, so that proves he didn't do it.

And it proves nothing at all.

In my red county, government functions start with a prayer. And when nature screws the place, they pray to God for God to fix what God, in theory, wrought. It is screwball logic at it's finest.
