Let me ask you a Q. Why do you think that some ppl choose to lie here? I dont mean just this forum and I do mean Christians. Why would someone want to tell stories to fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord? Enlighten me if you can.
PM me with the answer if you dont mind as I might not see it otherwise.
For the sake of all, I'll answer this publicly and then send you a private message with the answer.
People lie on the Internet in general because they feel comfortable about recreating themselves. They've told the same stories so many times that the miracles God has done have lost their glory (in the teller's mind). Consequently, they augment a miracle (like a fisherman augments the size of his catch when he retells the story).
We don't mean harm by it when we do it, but it happens because we want to "top" others or because we don't want to feel left out when the glory of God seems to have left our lives.
