Why must Christian apologists tell lies?

[EscapingDelusion]

I applaud your willingness to question this religion. Never lose that. Question everything. With that said, you are asking a very good question: If Christianity is true, why must Christian apologists lie to win a debate? Years ago, this is what made me question creationism; I knew creationists lied about evolutionists' claims and evidence. If creationism were true, I knew that it should be able to stand on its own feet without having to lie about what the facts are. If a religion claims to promote truth, why would it lie? If all the evidence supports the religion (as it would if the religion were true), why would its proponents need to falsify information to make their points? This should always throw up flags, as it has for you. You are a far more intelligent young man than most. Keep up your search, and I am confident you will be very happy with where it takes you.
