However in exchange for this, you're going to have to find a way to be ok with people keeping their guns and more of their money.

This is a petty issue. If he doesn't believe in God, then what is the problem? This is just another one of those morans who gets hurt when they can't control things around them.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13856469 On another note, the word "god" is the name of an ancient Egyptian deity of luck. And does not refer the Creator of all things so I would have problem with the oath myself. The god of the US military is not something I would want to have any dealing with....just look at their symbolism. btw I am from Texas and have bled for my country so don't even go there....course that all happened when I was young an ignorant to the real world.

It would be, in essence, the equivalence of "so help him Santa Claus" or "Tooth Fairy". |
