bhaktachris Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Hare Krsna, I had a strange thought thread the other day(no surpise) and was thinking about court and how one puts his right hand on the bible in america and "swears in". If one is a follower of Krsna or Mohamad and is in court do they use or can they use the proper book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haridham Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Thats an interesting question Prabhu ji. I was told by a friend once who went to court and when he was swearing his hand on the bible one of the lawyers objected or something and said that this man is a "hindu" how do we know he will tell the truth by putting his hand on the bible. The judge didnt care for what the lawyer had to say but my friend just said, now I am paraphrasing ofcourse "God is in the bible as well as my scripture. You call him something else and I call him something else. He is both of our father and I respect the bible equally as my scripture and I will tell the truth" So to me its no big deal but I think I will ask if I ever end up in court for something.
