I add this article, not to underline some political party or another.
I add this article because some political people spin lies, to get votes.
And they do not (somehow) see that this is LYING, and is unworthy as
a method to get votes.
Promises that are made, that are radically out of touch with our shared reality
(such as, "On day 1, I will stop the war in Ukraine"), are nothing more than
lies. We would not accept these sorts of lies from candidates for the
management of technical companies. Why should we accept them as
as "merely part of the game", from political figures.
Why would we accept the lies from universities, that their diplomas are
worth something in the current job market, IF they have watered down
required courses to the extent that their diplomas are modern basket-weaving
exercises? (You do know that most required courses in universities have been
eliminated?)
Why would we accept the resume of a candidate to be a pastor/teacher in
a Christian congregation, IF they do not have a history of seriously studying
critical Bible study skills (such as New Testament Greek)?
This habit of speaking unreal promises, or even openly lying about qualifications,
is incompatible with historical Christianity.
