Boy you're really laying down on the tracks.
I dont have a tenth of the education, but on the evolution side this is a daily task to deal with the blatant lies.
This is not a atter of hate or vitriol at all, this is a matter of education and the lack of. All for the betterment of humanity as a whole. [if betterment is even a word lol ]
Hopefully I can show that "more lying" the futility of "lies more lies" when it comes to "what a big fat lier I am" because I am a "lier".
I think Christians lie because they are taught to do so by their pastors and religious leaders. The only thing that matters, it seems, are the beliefs held by a particular tradition.
These beliefs are engrained in the Christian, made infalliable by circular reasoning, and then solidified by the warning from the pastor that one's faith absolutely depends on the veracity of these claims.
Unfortunately for the dishonest Chrisitan, nothing is infalliable, and in fact honest reasoning requires the subject to be falliable so one can change one's mind if one is wrong. So, to defend these precious doctrines to oneself and others, the Christian must lie. And we see Christians lie about Greek and Hebrew to support various doctrines; lie about science to support creationism; lie about the faith of others fir simple disagreement; lie about the nature of other religions --- it is truly limitless.
When did it become OK for Christians to practice such open hatred for the truth, and hypocritically claim to be the bearers of it?
It is abundantly obvious that it doesn't have to be this way. Honesty will strengthen faith. If one's only desire is for the truth of the matter, especially if it challenges one's faith, so much the better for intellect and faith.
And yes, an intellectually honest challenge to one's faith should be welcomed as blows from a friend.
I had to read this a few times.
Perhaps not, but it does mean they are dishonest.This does not make them a liar but possibly ignorant.
Me too! I am not about to comment on it! :angel2:

An allusion to Prov 27.6.
Clearly not as good a friend as you imagined.
Did you imagine that?

They are as dishonest as those that use intellect for everything.
You know in every time period the educated believed they were right about everything. I wish I could jump 10,000 years in the future and show you how dumb we really are.
They are dishonest because they refuse to learn the truth.They are as dishonest as those that use intellect for everything.

They are dishonest because they ignore the truth for their beliefs.
It is most interesting how they can be so dishonest whilst claiming they serve a god of truth.
Because being God by proxy satisfies the egos need to be right.
I disagree. But that's not what is the issue here.
Someone who knows nothing can be guided by her intuition, and grow in knowledge and wisdom by honestly looking at the world.
The same with one who has a powerful intellect.
Nothing can be accomplished without honesty.
