Paradox #1
September 16, 2015 at 11:19 am
I always tell the truth. Except on Wednesday. On Wednesdays everything I say is a lie.
Am I telling the truth or lying?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Lying.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

On what do you base your answers?

The fact that it's a contradiction? Lol, I dunno.

You are lying. You don't always tell the truth except on Wednesday, nor do you only lie on Wednesday.
