Under Oath

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I once had to give testimony in court when I was like, 16 or something. I was told before going in that I'd be able to swear on this particular oath (dunno what it's was actually called now), not the usual religious one that courts here make you swear on normally for some reason. Then when I actually got in there they told me I had it wrong and I had to swear on the catholic holy holy god is great oath and was in fact, forced to swear on that oath.

I don't think they realised what a massive athiest I actually am, and therefore all of my testimony from then on was pretty much meaningless. I still told the truth obviously, but I could have made up all kinds of bullshit and gotten away with it.

So yeah, I don't really see the point of it.
