Waving around the word 'lying' isn't going to hold me back.
"Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up."
This is a parable Jesus told. A farmer didn't sow his seed that day in Galilee to anyone's knowledge. Is it a lie, too?
A simplistic definition of truth limits one from indentifying ultimate truths by trapping oneself in hard fact, which should stay in the lab and has no place in life's bigger questions.
That said, salvation, Epicurus' pleasure, is found beyond simply doing what your told and naturally acquiring it.
