Quote From: mommiegwenWant to talk about lying? Let's start w/how we bring up our children we start with Santa Claus move on to the tooth fairy, then go to the easter bunny,oh yeah leprechauns bring pots of gold, 4 leaf clovers bring luck(if that was true I'd be richeer than oprah, skinny,and beautiful). We tell oour children its wrong to lie but then we teach them to lie. American society is built on lies. Every man is equal (the people who wrote that are celebrated liars as they had black men and women in slavery at the time, freedom again when that was wrote slavery was booming in America. ALL lying is wrong. We feel lying is wron when we are the one lied to what about when we are the liar and everyone on earth has lied at least once(and that's a big stretch saying once) in their life. Men lie to women toget sex, women lie to get what they want, kids lie to get out of trouble or get what they want.. The President is the current biggest liar in America and getting paid by our taxes to do it. It's wrong and the Bible says a liar is the same as a thief and a murderer- they steal the truth and murder it.
The next time you walk into your church, walk up to all the gossips and tell them, "You are a filthy gossip." Hey, it's the truth. You gotta tell it. See how well that goes over. Then tell the bad singers in the choir, "You sound like a screaming cat in a bucket." Hey, it's the truth. You gotta tell it. See how well that goes over. Then follow the deacons, and anyone who puts in any less than a ten spot walk up to them and say, "You're ripping off God." Hey, it's the truth. You gotta tell it. See how well that goes over. Then when the pastor misquotes one single word from the Bible, stand up immediately and scream at the top of your lungs, "You misquoted the Bible! Only a true man of God could read the Bible word for word!" Hey, in your world, it's the truth. See how that goes over.
After you've done all this and you get home, go stand in front of a mirror and look at yourself long and hard. Then ask yourself, was it worth making all those people hurt and angry to hang on to the truth? Then ask yourself, hey wasn't I judging all those people on the Dr. Phil board for lying when I don't know them and God is the ultimate judge and I just tried to take his job? I think you'll not be too pleased with yourself after that.
P.S. For extra credit, during the Christmas season, walk up to the mall Santa as he is talking to a bright-eyed, hopeful toddler. Scream at the top of your lungs, "THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS SANTA CLAUS!" Then post us and let us know how many parents beat you up, how long it took you to post bail, etc. Then consider keeping your opinions to yourself and allowing the rest of our children to keep their imaginations and their beliefs in all things magical. Remember, to our little children, God is magical too.
