El Día de la Investidura, el Presidente no prestó juramento al cargo con la mano sobre la Biblia.
Su esposa estaba a su lado sosteniéndola. Yo estaba a unos 15 pies de distancia y lo vi.
Pero él no puso la mano sobre la Biblia.
Y eso tal vez debería haber sido una señal de que necesitamos hacer una pausa y pensar, ¿qué es esto?
¿Por qué no pondrías la mano sobre la Biblia?
Si no crees en la Biblia, no te cuesta nada poner la mano sobre ella,
solo seguir el protocolo, seguir la tradición.
Todos los presidentes lo hacen. ¿Por qué tú no lo haces?
Y no lo estás haciendo intencionalmente.
Estás eligiendo no poner la mano sobre la Biblia cuando prestas ese juramento.
Eso sugiere no que no creas que es real,
porque si no creyeras que es real, ¿por qué te importaría?
Eso sugiere que sabes que es real y lo estás rechazando.
Sabes lo que estás haciendo y lo haces de todos modos.
Pero nadie hizo preguntas sobre eso tampoco.
Parecía algo inapropiado, dado que la celebración estaba en curso,
preguntar: ¿por qué no pondrías la mano sobre la Biblia cuando prestas juramento para liderar nuestra nación?
Pero prácticamente nadie lo hizo.
Yo no. Lo admito.
Lo vi y no dije ni una palabra.
Me ha molestado desde entonces.

Original transcript (English)
On Inauguration Day, the President did not take his oath of office with his hand on the Bible. His wife stood next to him holding it. I was about 15 feet away and saw it. But he did not put his hand on the Bible. And that should have been maybe a clue that we need to pause and think about, what is this? Why wouldn't you put your hand on the Bible?
If you don't believe in the Bible, there's no cost to you to putting your hand on it, just kind of following the protocol, going along with the tradition. All presidents do it. Why aren't you doing it? And you're not doing it intentionally. You're choosing not to put your hand on the Bible when you take that oath.
That suggests not that you don't believe it's real, because if you didn't believe it was real, why would you care? That suggests you know it is real, and you're rejecting it. You know what you're doing, and you're doing it anyway. But nobody asked questions about that either.
It seemed kind of inappropriate, given the celebration that in progress, to ask, why wouldn't you put your hand on the Bible when you take the oath of office to lead our nation? But pretty much nobody did. I didn't. I'll admit that. I saw it and didn't say one word.
It bothered me ever since. you
