[QUOTE="ks777, post: 57062410, member: 242851"] I haven't read the thread, but about lying: I don't lie. I never lie. Of course I have lied, but that was a long time ago. It's because I try to keep my God's commandments. And in doing so, I've noticed how filthy and evil lying is. It's is purely destructive and never benefits anyone. Some people say that there are right and wrong times to lie, there are definitely times when you shouldn't tell people things, but you never have to lie. Worst come to worst, just keep your mouth shut. In Islam, Muhammad mentions that lying is bad, you shouldn't do it etc, although there are exceptions. The exceptions are the same as what most people today would say; it's permittable to lie to a spouse, for reconcillation among people, and in war. In Yahweh, there are no exceptions, telling a lie is evil regardless of the situation. I can't watch movies now because EVERY protagonist in almost every film lies and makes a huge mess of things because he/she lied. I kind of end up hoping the bad guy wins or the other guy gets the girl because it irritates me that much. To answer your question, if I didn't know God and didn't know His commandments, I would have a completely different view on lying. It's fine, even benefitial to yourself if the person you're lying to doesn't find out right? You wouldn't lie if it wasn't benefitial to you for some reason or another. I've been lied to countless times and it hurts, a lot. That's why I believe God made that law, and I try damn hard to stick by it. And now I honestly couldn't tell a white lie for all the money in the world. Of course I'm not implying atheists lie more than christians. Secular humanism believes they can be perfectly moral without the involvement of a god, but it's a lot easier to slip up and lie if you're doing it for yourself to be a 'good person'. It's much harder to lie when you don't want to dissapoint your Father. [/QUOTE]
