ALL human beings lie, often.
To assert the silly woman in the video lies BECAUSE she is Christian is an ad hominem,a basic logical fallacy.. (if indeed she is lying,she may be sincere for all we know)
It's logically valid to say she seems to be lying and/or mistaken/deluded/pig ignorant/stupid AND a Christian. Although any or all of those things are certainly common among Christians, I've seen no evidence that they are causal agents. I DO concede such things are a distinct advantage in being a believer and staying one..
Now now...lets ease off a bit. Lets look at the feel of this post so far.
The context is "lying about their religion"
..and, to show that I was trying not to blanket generalize, I even put the word "some" in the OP title. Not ALL Christians, but SOME Christians.
I feel that i approached this topic in good faith and close to the upper 3 tiers of the logical pyramid. I presented a fair claim, showed proof of the lies, gave references to prove it was all lies, and concluded softly with asking a question to the forum.
Any Christian could have brought forth an argument about the wording of my question, but I would have argued that the OP proves that at least ONE Christian lied, on television no less.
Now, go ahead and say it was a mistake. I will argue how immature it would be to go on television and speak of things you dont know shit about.
Do you see my point now?
Besides...always feel free to question me and what I post. If I made an honest mistake I will try to correct it, and admit to fucking up.
