The Bible and earlier Christians
#7
RE: The Bible and earlier Christians
To many people, telling half truths is the same as lying. It's like when two kids get into a fight, and one hits harder than the other, the one that runs away will cry that the other hit him without mentioning that they were hitting each other. While the child isn't really lying to the parent, he's omitting the parts that would incriminate him.

Letting your people run with faulty information is wrong. Then again, torturing your faithful followers so that they can prove their loyalty is wrong too. Even if he showered Job with gifts, the trust is still most likely gone.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
