Is it better to lie to people in church?
#2
RE: Is it better to lie to people in church?
From the church perspective, I would think it a 'sin' to hide a 'wandering sheep'. If they do not really believe in this crap, then what are they doing in church in the first place?

IMHO lying is always wrong. Some abide by 'little white lies', but then that sets up a subjective line that can easily be manipulated through rationalization. Lying also sets up an undefined 'honesty window'.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
-- The Rev Lovejoy
