I just want to be crystal clear here- the act of perjury is not in holding religious beliefs that supercede your devotion to the Constitution, but rather in regarding the Constitution itself as being a false god or a devotion to a false god while swearing allegiance to it. If you believe that the Constitution is ungodly and you cannot in good conscience uphold it, you are free to have that belief, but not to swear a false oath to the contrary. Were the government to attempt to force me to worship a false god, may I have the courage to choose martyrdom instead, but woe to the hypocrite who believes he has the right to feign what he believes to be idolatry in order to deceive; he is a liar and a coward, and God finds such “service” abhorrent.
