>testifying under oath Is this the most useless measure to

if even 20% of the population fears got still then I guess its worth it

Most people understand that if you lie under oath it's a serious criminal offense. That's the end of it, it's pure ritual.

Not even very many Ameriburgers genuinely fear going to hell if they fib after swearing on the local court's Gideon's Bible.

Lying under oath is perjury which is a very serious crime. Whether the person actually believes in the Bible that they're swearing on is kind of irrelevant.

I thought that just so they can throw the person in the slammer if they find out later that they lied.

No Christian person would lie after having sworn a oath under God with his hands on the Bible. But it only worked while the society was homogeneous and the people shared the same values. Then diversity and cultural Marxism came along and it was the end of that.

Wrong.

Are you retarded? The point is that if they get caught lying it's a criminal charge of its own.
