Swearing on someones life
Is it really bad if you swear on someones life that somethings not true when it really is, or is it just something childish?

Swearing on your mum's life is allowable - having anything to do with the SNP is not.

I'm not actually superstititious about such stuff - I don't get worried that something bad might happen to the person whose life I swear on.
However, swearing on someone's life is a very strong thing to do - it's to acquire someone's trust on the basis that their life means so much to you that you couldn't possibly lie when you use such a phrase. It's so foul to swear on someone's life (make them think that your life is so important to you) and yet be abusing their trust right under their nose. To swear on someone's life and be lying is to have no regard for that person's emotions or in fact, their life. It's like saying you don't care if they die.
Gosh that made no sense.
