RE: Is Lying Ever Justifiable?

It sure as hell is. I'd even go a step further in saying that lying is justified in situations NOT related to preventing harm or hurting feelings.
I feel justified in lying just to get someone the hell out of my face. I'll say "Done."...because it'll get done. When have I ever not gotten it done? Tell me. Never, that's when.
Quit harassing me.
I find this sort of lying is necessary in when dealing with supervisors. Mothers, as well.

I won't tell if you won't tell.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

White lies are a racist relic from a bygone era.
All lying for a good cause shall be referred to as "shady lies".

I'm not sure I'm on board with that one BQ. Got a hypothetical?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

That's such an interesting yes or no question!

I don't even consider lying to be morally wrong. Many times when a person lies, the reason they're lying is wrong. Or the thing they're trying to do/get away with is wrong. Lying in itself is not wrong.
Lying, like everything else, is fine as long as you follow the true golden rule. Don't be a dick.
