[QUOTE="zippy2006, post: 77619826, member: 342410"] It is a matter of teleology. The purpose for which you come to CF is incompatible with lying. What would you say that purpose is? Who lies on forums? Trolls, imposters, and the intellectually dishonest.* You are not a troll or an impostor, and as an agnostic intellectual dishonesty probably seldom becomes a problem on a religious forum. Intellectual dishonesty usually becomes a problem for those who feel they have a lot at stake, must defend a certain viewpoint, etc. You have no reason to lie. From a different angle, why do you lie in real life? Probably for utility or convenience, and presumably there are not parallel situations on CF where lies would provide you with utility or convenience. On the other hand, if you lied for fun in real life then you would probably also lie on the forum. * Edit: Those who engage the penal system are also vulnerable to lying (reporting posts, justifying behavior, etc.). This is all behind the scenes, so maybe it doesn't count. [/QUOTE]
