Lying is knowingly mispresenting as true what you know is false. Just because xtians aren't lying does not mean they 'have' the Truth. Far from it. You just have what you think is true. (I strongly suspect you are mistaken.)
No... just making you stress your pov. What you were insinuating is that Christians don't know the truth, and that is why they are lying. People drinking Kool-aide usually means: because they "want" to. Not because they are "forced" to.
What I am trying to say is that Christians don't know the truth any better than I do. I haven't a clue about gods but from what drivel I've heard they sound like nonsense to me.

I only qualify it like that because I find the subject matter incoherent and I readily admit I don't have a clue. However, I don't have any lingering doubts that trouble me, if that is what you're wondering. It isn't anything I spend time pondering except in conversations such as this. I don't read the bible, atheist books or xtian apologetics. No real interest. Frankly I just don't care and won't until such time as what a god is exactly is made clear to me and are revealed to exist, and then only if they interest me.

I can't seem to find where I used the word "ALL" so I'm not sure what you're referring to. Can you quote or link it?
