I forget what the occasion was, but I was handed a Bible and asked to swear on it....
I thought for a couple of moments until I was asked, "Is that a problem?"
I said, "Well, Yes.... I'm not a Christian, and this is.... The New Testament......" ?
You can't claim to be interested in understanding our world if you don't also find religion, politics, history fascinating.
The truth is that something is often boring because it's so obvious and true. So when does it become interesting? When it involves something (K) new?
Or perhaps when something's known/noun?
The truth is, what they were asking me wasn't something I could agree to based within the confine parameters of their obvious evidence choice. Or, to put it another way, if they insisted and I was prepared to lie - placing my hand on their book and saying, "I'm not going to lie" may prove one already occurring.
