Maybe just get them to sign a document that lays out the penalties they will fact if they are found telling a lie, and then have them hold that up and swear that they will tell the truth, and if found to be lying that they will accept the penalties laid out.
If someone said we had to take an oath to the lochness monster, if we said that's stupid, we don't want to do that, that doesn't mean we must believe in the lochness monster.
Now I'm totally disillusioned: Are you implying the Loch Ness Monster doesn't exist???
I've seen photographs of it! :1zhelp:
My job to do the honours for annual xmas carols concert. I'm toying with the idea of spoiling the kids night by revealing that xmas isn't about the birth of Santa Claus

To make up for last year hopefully we can now have two Christmases and save the economyChristmas is cancelled this year. Sorry folks.
We were in Brisbane last night and saw several vans set up to spread some Christmas cheer for the homeless.Just in case any ASF members (or acquaintances of same) are in the vicinity of Melbourne, and at a loose end this Christmas:

Mrs and I have been wishing every (seemingly) non Christian and merry Christmas.
Without exception they have been taking it in good cheer and returning the greeting.
So, where are all these people being offended by Christmas?
Obviously written for Sydney siders. Here in Victoria:T'was a week before Christmas,
And all through the town,
People wore masks,
That covered their frown.
The frown had begun
Way back in the Spring,
When a global pandemic
Changed everything.
They called it corona,
But unlike the beer,
It didn’t bring good times,
It didn’t bring cheer.
Airplanes were grounded,
Travel was banned.
Borders were closed
Across air, sea and land.
As the world entered lockdown
To flatten the curve,
The economy halted,
And folks lost their nerve.
From March to July
We rode the first wave,
People stayed home,
They tried to behave.
When summer emerged
The lockdown was lifted.
But away from caution,
Many folks drifted.
Now it’s December
And cases are spiking,
Wave two has arrived,
Not to our liking.
It’s true that this year
Has had sadness a plenty,
We’ll never forget
The year 2020.
And just ‘round the corner -
The holiday season,
But why be merry?
Is there even one reason?
To decorate the house
And put up the tree,
Who will see it,
No one but me.
But outside my window
The rain gently falls,
And I think to myself,
Let’s deck the halls!
So, I gather the ribbon,
The garland and bows,
As I play those old carols,
My happiness grows.
Christmas is not cancelled
And neither is hope.
If we lean on each other,
I know we can cope

Not that much problem in nsw as of yet.Obviously written for Sydney siders. Here in Victoria:
Christmas lunch with my side last Sunday in Castlemaine, about 25 of us.
Work breakup yesterday, 12 of us in the beer garden of the Three Crowns, West Melbourne,
and tomorrow the wife's side at our house in Ascot Vale, 12 altogether. The mother in law finding she is getting too old to hold it now.
Going with my youngest brother to the second day of the Cricket test in members (he is a member). Didn't think I would get to go this year.
So good to be rid of Covid. Reward for the lockdown.
Australian Tennis Open though fills me with trepidation.
