I've been re-reading the Katzmiller vs. Dover decision in the last month or so. And I become more disturbed by the outright lies of those who claim to be Christian. The so-called Christians claimed in one deposition that they had no idea where the money to by the Panda's book came from. Then it was revealed that one of them had asked for the money in church before worship; that the money had been placed in his mail-box and church; that he had passed a check to another so-called board member (who claimed the name of Christian) who gave it to his father; who was the one who bought the books. And they all lied.
And there were more lies. Several claimed they'd never mentioned the word creationism or its cognates. Though those words were repeatedly reported in the papers. Even with videotape of using the word 'creationism' the one claimed it had only been a slip of the tongue.
This is not the sort of behavior which should happen from anyone in our country and it is certainly not what we should expect of those who call themselves Christian. Lies will not bring the realm of God close at hand. They will send the people who use them, even if they use them in the name of the one the claim to served, to hell.
