I was already so frustrated with the name thing, I think we both just really wanted to get out of there as soon as possible and I didn't want to argue with the clerk. Well I might have had I been alone...
Anyway, once again thanks for clearing that up.

That's a typical tactic in Gumint offices and courts. They stick the bible under your nose and say "swear" and only give you the "or affirm" option if you object. Of course in court where you want to make a good impression, objecting might not be the best idea.
On the "under God" thing, I understand your reluctance but I just figure they can call it whatever they want. One nation, under sky, under bridge, underwater, understood, it's just someone else's description and doesn't impinge or confirm my beliefs.
