It is easier to lie about something when you sit in a dimly lit room, or if you wear dark sunglasses indoors. That’s the findings of three recent experiments carried out and reported in the journal Psychological Science. Researchers explain that apparently low light or wearing dark shades creates a sense of anonymity that makes it easier to lie. Very interesting. Yet another example of the truthfulness of the Bible, where we read, “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. “ And then it gets even more straightforward when John is inspired to write, “For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.” No doubt Will Rogers, the American cowboy, humorist and social commentator of the 1920’s and 30’s, spoke for man when he said, “It’s not the parts of the Bible that I don’t understand that bother me, it’s the parts that I do understand.”
