I chose option B simply because if you are one who culture is similiar to my own, and after the 50 or so times you call me a liar, but have failed to prove intent, but still yet know the defination of liar/LIE liedly·ing \ˈlī-iŋ\
Definition of LIE
intransitive verb
1: to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive

Definition of LIE
intransitive verb
1: to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive
2: to create a false or misleading impression
By you leaving out definition number 2 you created a misleading impression that a lie had to have intent.
So by trying to defend yourself, you lie. Well done drich
Quote:Again I ask are you ignorant of basic English and general comprehension of western soceity? Or are you pushing for more intentional deception? Or do you have a third option? If you feel you have an understand English and western soceity I ask, What does it mean to create? As in to "create a false understanding?"
Wouldn't creation of this deception indicate intent? If your belief is that creation does not include or reflect any intention then please give an example where creation spontaneously occours and does not include intent. Otherwise know intent is critical to BOTH understandings of this word.
Now if I had your understanding of a liar I would be calling you one now, and get to hound dog you. Because by what you have said, and what you posted you omitted 3/4 of the definition lie to only provide the two you thought were revelant and yet represented those two definitions as the only definitions of the word lie.
Which by your own standard makes you a liar. So I ask you using your own logic and own definitions explain to me why in this situation you are not a liar.

I once did not believe in God, but the "Father drew " and I then had a choice to make. Fore just because God called me does not mean I had to answer. Are you familiar with the parable of the prodigal son? The Father in that story wanted his son by his side but allowed him to not only leave but to stay gone and spend all that he was given to live the life the son wanted to live. It wasn't till the son made the choice to return did the Father rush out and welcomed him home.I was once a Christian. How do you know the stories you follow in the Bible are true?
Professing belief, or even believing that you are 'christian' because of what you do does not make you one. As per what Christ said in mat 7. The choice I was taking about was the choice Christ offered and died to provide.
God offers proof for those who Ask, Seek and Knock for it as outlined in Luke 11.
