Atlantic City firefighters depend on Apple iPad with Bible app for swearing in ceremony

Clearly you don't understand the symbolism behind the bible in situations like this. It has nothing to do with church, and everything to do with swearing you will be honorable and uphold your duties. Please go away. You anti religion zealots are just as bad as the religious ones, and each of your are equally irrational.

What's more irrational than a religion? 'In situations like this' it doesn't symbolize anything because everyone has different beliefs. If there is anything sillier than putting your hand on a fairytale book its putting your hand on a glass screen with an image of the book.

Good god you people are irrational. There is nothing inherently 'irrational' about religion. Notice, I don't mention a specific religion. It symbolizes something that most people in the world consider 'scared'. (I'm not just talking about the bible, it is what the bible represents in the situation)

However, I will agree, there is nothing sillier than using an iPad as a 'stand-in' for the real thing.

As I said, you anti religion zealots are just as bad as those you mock. Please do the world a favor and stick your head in a running blender.

Thanks, on behalf of the world, in advance.

People like this make me sick. No respect at all for other people.

What 'people' did I disrespect? I spoke of an entity (Apple) and a superstitious practice (religion).

Get over yourself, NOOB. The religious people are the ones who dish out the disrespect by constantly pointing fingers and judging others. You are obviously one of them.

Can I get an AMEN!!! OOOOOHHH lawdy I can feel it in mah toes!

Until the Theory of Everything is brought to fruition, and the "god" particle is actually "seen", then you can't pass judgement on it being 100% a work of fiction. It's pretty stupid and naive of one to say that. Until god can be proven to NOT exist, who are you to judge those that still believe? Seriously? This is the problem with the world as we know it. According to most of you science and religion can't coexist, when actually the opposite is true. Thats the same for religious zealots, they believe that the two can't coexist. Does it all make sense, no, of course not. But it was also written by man 2000 years ago, and then translated by man 1000 years later. So please just keep your thoughts to yourself.

I should've mentioned that there are about a dozen churches within a mile radius.
