So the Oklahoma-based Baptist Messenger, an 85,000-circ newsletter for god-fearing conservative religious types, accidentally violated that whole "thou shall not bear false witness" contract man made with the lord by forging the signature of Gov. Brad Henry, and the State Seal, on a ridiculous thing called the "Proclamation for Morality."
Sometimes newspapers do manage to fake their work. But the Baptist Messenger didn't just goof — it blatantly Photoshopped the gov's signature to give its anti-gay "Proclamation" that much more authority.
The newspaper has since, uh, apologized for the "oversight": "In the July 16 Messenger, the graphic representation of the Oklahoma Citizen's Proclamation for Morality was misleading, indicating that Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry and Secretary of State Susan Savage had signed the document. This is not the case, and the Messenger staff apologizes for the oversight and error."
Take it up with your creator.

Disgusting, reprehensive, outrageous, they are all literally pieces of shit with arms and legs………WTF??????????
There have got to be laws against their action….These bastards should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law
These christian zealots are so full of themselves that they don't realize their public-facing acts are indistinguishable from sorcery!
These nutty churchy people draw up documents of power, full of flair and certainty, as though it would make them true. It's almost like they think they can bend the power of law to their will, and craft it into some sort of magic spell!
ban religion.
isn't that ILLEGAL? libel suit, libel suit, libel suit.
THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS !!
If they won't live up to their own rules in that book they wave in our faces then why the heck should we listen to their moralising.
@terrwill: That's not what "literal" means.
