I found a cool site the other day which will back this point up with more
evidence than *I* thought possible.

I saved a few teasers from it:
Hermas, an early church father, wrote:
"O Lord, I never spoke a true word in my life,
I have always affirmed a lie as truth to all
men, and no man contradicted me; instead,
they all gave credit to my works."
Visions of Hermas, vol. 2, c.3.
Angustine of Hippo, the greatest figure in Christian antiquity, wrote:
"It is lawful, then, to him that discusses, disputes
and preaches of things eternal, or to him
that narrates of things temporal pertaining
to religion or piety, to conceal at fitting
times whatever seems fit to be concealed."
Augustine, On Lying, c. 19
