The Religious: why do they lie?

Since the most religions on earth share a concept of 'thou shalt not lie'

why do the people lie more than most any group of people on earth?

eg..... some suggest creation was 6 thousand years ago, but fail to observe dinosaur bones as revelant.

Some say, jesus is messiah, but none of the items of peace, harmony, 'heaven on earth' has EVER occurred.


Why do the practitioners perpetuate the lies?

This is blatant generalization.

prove me wrong

Prove him right. ;) Go and find out if every single religion person on earth is a liar- not just Christians either, not just Abraham religions, but ALL religions- for example Hinduism, Paganism, Buddhism, and the followers of Zeus.

I didn't say it wasn't I was pointing out that you can't throw all religions under one umbrella. Perhaps a better way to put it would be "christianity does not equal ALL religions" You can't take a belief that is within christianity and say that all religions believe it as that is patently false.

i can use what ever example i wish

the thread is not targeting any sect

and with any integrity you would realize that each sect itself is branched from beliefs that are not accepted as true.

not a single sect on earth is pure (that's a fact)

yes many bad things have been done in the name of religion, but so have many good things. It's not the religion it's the people.

The religious: why do they lie?

that is exactly what to focus on; the people

I find that religion is more about wisdom and personal enlightenment than knowledge.

that is how you believe and your choice

If you go to religion looking for straight facts then you'll be hard pressed to find them.
then the truth of what life is, could not be understood by religions alone; so they are NOT the last word
Again Christianity does not equal all religion and not even all christians believe the above and even many of those who do don't believe it as literallistically as you may think.

so now you see why mankind is divided; few are pursuing the absolute but often focus on beliefs to be their truths.

:confused::areyoucra, are you assuming that I'm Christian because I am not, nor have I made any claims nor am I trying to impose my beliefs on anyone. I am not "bound" by what I currently know and believe as my wealth of knowledge is always growing and my beliefs always evolving. I find it interesting how you make so many grandiose assumptions and generalizations about me based on one measly post. How am I selfish and why do you accuse me of "killing others"?


knowledge does evolve, which provides evidence that what is often believed will change

killing others is by suggesting truth, and not having a clue to what you are saying and don't care that you are sending people down a bad road (false witnessing is worse than murder as that negative can live for thousands of years; see what religions have done to mankind)

when did EVERY SINGLE PERSON come into the thread; except perhaps you are 'creating' a layer of deciet?

you mentioned a few religious; do you believe each line the people of them religions suggest?

Is every line a religious person tells you about how to live good and right true?

is it perhaps because they don't know the truth?

then why?

shows how little you know. ;)

That is the fine art of Occultism.

having integrity and responsibility to your actions is occultism?

funny little mind you got there

seems to me, most every child in school learns lessons of NEVER lying, even to defend yourself; or meet the board of education!

problem is, as people get older, they begin to believe they have a right to lie or learn how to sidestep responsibility......

them liars are what our children have for examples!

Politeness is wasted on the dishonest.

You've never been polite so stop pretending.

Who is lying?

Can't you answer the question. You started the thread so you must have some knowledge of what you are babbling about.

Or have I assumed too much.

Probably assumed too much by just clicking on the thread title.

The winky smiley in my post was to let everyone know I was just kidding.

You're not answering the questions people are asking you. You don't seem to realize that what you said in your OP is generalization of religious people. You use a Commandment that only Christians and Jews would follow to defend what you say, but there a lot more religions that the Abraham religions. You say you are all in your religion, so that means that you are saying that you lie, too.

Violet.
just curious, if you were hiding a jew for example,
and the Nazi's came and said...
"are you hiding any jews?!",
would you then say...
"why yes... I am."
And if they said, well where are they...
you would say...
"behind the trap door in the cellar".

I am truly at a loss for your one dimentional thinking. :shrug:

Perhaps your reading comprehension has left you:

you click, but without quality intent; no ability to tic

you are trolling.....right now :slap:
