Leave it to the Baptist Messenger to top Kern's (relatively subtle) attempts at melding church and state via public relations sleight-of-hand, by photoshopping official state seals and signatures onto the bottom of the document. One wonders whether the phrase "bearing false witness" ought to have any bearing on the journalistic ethics of a denominational organ.
Ah, well. I ought to have known not to expect better from the theocratic camp which inspired such efforts as Liars for Jesus, a book which I heartily recommend.

1) Yes, and atheists have never done anything foolish or stupid that has embarrassed other atheists. Sam Harris never wrote "Letter to a Christian Nation", for example.
2) And all sarcasm aside, what the Messenger did is unbelievably ridiculously stupidly counterproductively dumb. I am dumbfounded at them.
Two things:
1) I don't think Sam Harris officially represents the views of an entire denomination, or whatever the atheist equivalent might be.
2) He never fabricated evidence so as to create a false impression in the minds of his readers.
