I call bull shit. These are only sins to a douche bag of a god that doesn't care to pay attention to the reasoning behind an action. Which is EXACTLY what Drich said his god would say. Too fucking bad, the following story is full of sin:
It's 1946 and I saw a beautiful woman on the streets of Berlin. She was sexy as fuck and I asked her out in the hopes of possibly falling in love and marrying the woman of my dreams. On our first date she begins to tell me of rumors she heard that a large group of jewish children were hidden in a cellar and in need of transportation out of the city. I of course am willing to find out if these rumors are true because I hate the Nazi's for the atrocities they are committing against the human race. Upon finding these jewish refugee children, I am questioned by Nazi officers on whether I have seen these children. I of course tell them that I have not seen them and that I will start looking for them immediately so that I can help Dur Fuhrer.
Upon successfully smuggling a bus load of innocent jewish children out of Berlin, I am quickly punished by god for the sins of lust, gossip, hate and lying.
The notion of these actions being universally sinful is just ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY - dreamed up by FUCKING IDIOTS and sold to others by brainless sheep. Not everything is black and white and just because some fool who proclaims himself an authority on the bible says that something is a sin doesn't make it so ... not even to his fellow christians.
You are absolutely right. In fact, the Bible allows for the telling of lies if it serves God's nefarious and evil purposes. Rahab told a lie to her own people when they thought two Israeli spies had entered Jericho. Rahab did it knowing full well that the whole city would be destroyed and every man, woman, child and baby killed by God's merciful army. So she lied upon the spies' promise to spare her and her family. But her lie led to the death of the whole city. In Hebrews, Rahab is praised for telling lies and causing the death of thousands of innocent people including children and babies and she was said to be "faithful". If that is God's morality, I shudder to think what he's like when he's immoral.
