| | Oath - definition of Oath in Encyclopedia |
 | | Oaths are also confused with vows, but really a vow is a special kind of oath. | | | Many people take an oath by holding in their hand or placing over their head a book of scripture or a sacred object, thus indicating the sacred witness through their action: such an oath is called corporal. | | | Various religious groups have objected to the taking of oaths, most notably the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and the Mennonites. |

| | Hippocratic Oath - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Most scholars believe that the oath was written by Hippocrates or one of his students, but recently it has been proposed that the oath was written by Pythagoreans [1]. | | | Most schools administer some form of oath, but the great majority no longer use the ancient version, which praised pagan gods, advocated teaching of men but not women, and forbade general practitioners from surgery, abortion, euthanasia, or abuse of the prescription pad. | | | It is a common misconception that the phrase primum non nocere, "First, do no harm" is included in the Hippocratic Oath. |

| | Atheists and The Oath |
| | The oath was taken on a Christian Bible, in effect disqualifying non-Christians. | | | And it is no less evident that it is dishonest for an atheist to go through the form of swearing at all; or for an infidel to swear with his hand upon the Christian Scriptures, thereby professing to invoke a God in whose existence he does not believe. | | | 1976) ("An oath is an appeal by a person to God, to witness the truth of what he declares."); 6 Wigmore, supra note 165, § 1816, at 382 (recognizing that the purpose of the oath is to remind a witness "strongly of the divine punishment somewhere in store for false swearing"). |

| | The Oath of Office: A Historical Guide to Moral Leadership |
| | “oath.” According to Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 10th ed., an oath is “a solemn [usually] formal calling upon God or a god to witness to the truth of what one says or to witness that one sincerely intends to do what one says (2): a solemn attestation of the truth or inviolability of one’s words.” | | | In 1620, when the Mayflower landed, the Pilgrims established the Mayflower Compact- which served as an oath, a covenant, and a constitution- and then pledged allegiance to King James, agreeing to work together as a “civil body politic” for their betterment and preservation. | | | Controversy over the separation of church and state sometimes clouds this final phrase; nevertheless, it is the most important one in the oath. |

| | Edelstein L. The Hippocratic Oath: text, translation and interpretation. | | | Not surprisingly, the contentious debate over both of these issues continues today, although the relevant sections are simply omitted in most oaths administered by US medical schools. | | | 1) Although many scholars dispute the exact authorship of the writings ascribed to the ancient physician Hippocrates, who probably lived sometime between 460 and 380 B.C., the oath named for him is simultaneously one of the most revered, protean, and misunderstood documents in the history of medicine.(1) To begin with, it is often misquoted. |

| | Commentary on the “Oath” and Concessions to Ceremonial Biblicalism | | | As a long standing wisdom, most people throughout the cultures of the world evidently do tend to believe, as a general rule, that honesty and fidelity to matters of truth and sworn obligation, do ultimately foster the most equitable consequences overall. | | | In such case, no vow to “God” or any other deity, or any proclamation of religious faith is likely to make the least bit of difference. |
