What was the last lie (white or not--) that you told and why did you think it was a good choice?

"You're not ugly or stupid."\n\nI was really thinking... You're both, you goddamn loser without any self-esteem.

Those that lie are ignorant that the truth shall set them free, and they instead get trapped in a web that only gets darker and darker as time goes by, and they end up with very MESSY lives!  Only WHITE lies are okay.  Those that only are uttered so as not to hurt another's feelings who might take the truth too strongly.  However, the truth is always best, altho there are many ways of telling it (gently or BLUNTLY) The truth shall set you free because YOU will know to yourself that YOU are reliable and trustworthy to anybody who comes in contact with you, and the wise will see it in you and appreciate YOUR integrity, and the friendships you establish will be wise ones  And you also learn to SEE when others are lying to you and deal with them accordingly.

This is an honest reply although I doubt you will believe me.\n\nLife will teach you everything you need to know.\n\nMe, I am the final say in what I choose to believe and don't be fooled, every belief is a choice.

The one that I found out was right!\n\nBut really, if I find out that mine is not perfect, I will probably stick with it unless I actually find evidence of a better one.  I'm tired of changing religions.  This one's my 3rd one.  ;-)

Thank you for saying :"some of you".  I think your question is a very good one.  I purposefully did not tell my children about Santa Clause or the Easter bunny when they were little.  The Bible says "Because they receive not the love of the truth, for this cause God shall send them strong delusion."  I think these "lies" are perpetuated by the masses so they won't have to think about the birth of One who can forgive their sins, or One who was resurrected from the dead to give eternal enjoyment and Bliss in His presence. The easterbunny has its roots in pagan fertility rites. A lie is a lie is a lie.  There are no "white lies".  Who is "the father of lies"?  Who is "The Way, the Truth and the Life"?  The two can not have communion together. "Whatsoesver is not of the truth is a lie". "Whatsoever is not of faith is sin".  I think you are doing a wonderful job in raising youre children by telling them the truth.  It is becoming harder and harder for Christians to raise their children as day by day the forces of worldliness and anti-Christ well up in "public opinion" angainst Christian doctrine.  You are doing what Jesus wants you to do.  Christians in many cultures have had to undergo persecution and ridicule but it has only caused the "true church" to grow stronger, and the "little white lie" church to be exposed as what it really is: lukewarm hypocrites which Jesus said He will spew out of His mouth.  Be brave, continue what you are doing.  Jesus said, "they that overcome shall receive a crown of Life."\nRead Revelation! <smile>.  # 8^ ) 3

My goodness.   This is a very interesting poem about how we are lied to throughout our lives and have to deal with those facts.  It would fit astonishingly well into any media studies course and am glad to have read it.  Tis true that Walter Raleigh was in Queen Elizabeth's command and was held in the tower.  The first respondant had excellent points, but after that... there were few comments that made sense.  Sorry folks.\n\nIt is most assuredly not about SEX!!  Except that we might lie to get it.  The point is that lies are imbedded into our very framework.  We cannot speak a truth.  Wit does get tiresome.  Beauty is used for naught.  There is nothing that is singularly GOOD- and Raleigh discovers it with a lovely cadence.  The repeptitive nature of "Tell them the lie" can be seen as a stab at church and country, but it goes deeper than than.  He mocks consumers and landowners.  Everyone is lying and he knows it.\n\nWhat I mean is simple that when people attempt to define something by using Good or Bad, they are intrinsically wrong.\n\nI hope you do well in your life and take the time to read lots of poetry.

I wouldn't quote exact figures, but I'd say a lot of people would say "honesty is the best policy."  However, no one can be 100% honest all the time.  Think about all the white lies we all tell to spare someone's feelings or to get out of an uncomfortable situation...

VERY GOOD. So true, and yet so many say He let them down when it was them that told him to leave.\n\nDo not listen to these degenerates that say it is not good. Honey Hod gave you a talent use it and do not listen to nay sayers.

NO, whoever told you that was lying...

Yes, I actually would. You said that whites should date whites, you didn't say that white was just your preference. If you have to ask if that's racist, then you should already know the answer.

It is always better to tell the truth.  Lying in any situation is unsound, and usually betrays a lack of courage - the courage to say "I don't want to answer that", or "Well, yes, you are a bit fat, but I love you anyway and if you want to change it why don't we work on it together?" or something like that.  Lying, ultimately, can only ever hurt you, and the person or people you lie to.

Well. Today I resolved that the world will not end. I made the decision to continue trying my best to make a difference. I accepted the fact that there are millions of people doing their bit and I am not alone.\n\nI also resolved the decision that I cannot change anyone- the blessing and curse of free will and that most honest Christians wouldn't know a sign from God if it landed on their front porch in big flashing lights and a "hello" sign attached. That is the price of deliberate self ignorance.\n\nAnd for that, I expect many more questions about 666 until, thankfully we get to the 7th of June.

This is a tough one - do you tell the truth or lie.  Lot's of luck, I wish I had an answer for you.

His lying. When I realized I was willing to share my heart and soul and he was still lying. I remember the moment well. I knew of information he didn't know I had. As we talked, I prayed in my head "Please don't let him this time Please!" He lied again and I had proof of it. Falling out of love felt like it did when I fell in. The moment went just as fast as it came.  I don't regret having had loved him. I do regret the time invested in a relationship with someone who lie just for the hell of it.  The postitive side of it is, when meeting new people I am not apprenhensive about things I want to know about.  If they feel I am invading their space, I chalk it up to they are wasting my time.

I promised this guy friend of mine that I would take him on a picnic.  He's a bit of an odd duck and I didn't know him very well when we jokingly talked about a picnic, and the next thing I know, we're seeing more of each other and now it's a promise, but I keep blowing it off or coming up with some excuse...and then he died.  \n\nI'm going to find out where his ashes are and go have a picnic with him there.
