You find Christians to be bigger liars than anyone else? That's just sheer bigotry.
Nope, that's experience.

Christians are no better and no worse than any other group when it comes to lying. Perhaps you've been hurt. I'm sorry. But it doesn't excuse you painting all christians with the same broad brush.Nope, that's experience.

Is it ever morally acceptable to lie, especially if you were lying for your god, lying for one of your prophets, messiahs or messengers, or for your religion?
Is it a sin to use God’s name when you lie?
And what are the consequences for sinning in the name of God? Do God punish them for each lie people tell?
I'd imagine it would be morally acceptable to lie were it done to save another human (or yourself) from being murdered
Lying is a great tool for survival in some circumstances
I have no qualms about lying to people who unfairly weild their power or deal with others in cruelty
As did my Mom. One day we were visiting her in hospital in July, and she said that it was a pretty snowfall last night. "Yes, Mom, it sure was." Personally, I think this focus on 'Lying is BAD' is too heavy in certain mass consciousnesses of today.
...the martyrdom of polycarp.
Sometimes lying is the moral thing to do. It is wrong to tell the truth if this means harm to an innocent person.
Yes, it can be morally acceptable to lie.
Lying to avoid being murdered or to avoid unjust punishment. I was thinking of a few examples from my personal life that helped me to survive serious situations but I don't feel comfortable sharing them.
I wrote an example of a punishment I was thinking of but deleted it. What i was thinking as unjust was punishments that are traumatizing and can risk life and death. Or at the least serious mental/physical wellbeingIf you consider being grounded for a month "unjust punishment" for not completing a homework assignment, would that mean it's acceptable to lie about whether or not you did your homework?

Merry Christmas to you - a bit late.These are just Biased Heathen Atheist Opinions. Heathen Atheists are Liars and you are not going to persuade Religious People otherwise.

Meanwhile, religions just make it up instead? Who expected science to have all the answers and NOW! - apart from the uninformed.Science is an evolving paradigm, so as new data appears, the sincere truth may change.

This time I think you're right.Is this really considered lying, though? Regardless of whether or not you experienced a pretty snowfall, she did, whether it was 'real' or not. I don't thing validating her experience is technically lying.
Then again, I'm probably wrong. I usually am.
What you are doing is the fallacy of generalizing from too small a sampling. It's like the woman who get raped by a black man, and so she starts mistrusting all black men.As i said experience. Sorry you don't like my truth.
You are hiding some Jews in your basement in Nazi Germany. The Gestapo comes and asks you where are the Jews. If you tell them the truth, the Jews will be shipped off to a death camp.Can you please provide an example of harming someone by telling the truth?
