Have you ever been lied to by a really smart teenager?
They are going to tell the truth at EVERY opportunity and deviate from the truth ever so slightly where applicable.
This most often fools even the brightest of parents.
This is how a false religion fools "if possible the very elect".
Now; multiply this by three or more major groups each having multiple subtopics and add to this, that it has been going on for a very long, long time. soon the listeners don't know which way is up.
Well that is where we are at. While having FAITH that our child would never do that.
And all the while, everyone is acting the same, knowing (?) that we aren't
That's a scientific fact.
Add your beliefs to this too, as you have been lying to yourself...with a few truths thrown in here and there.
Some boys tell lies for the sake of money or to obtain their own freedom
Or to explain how the family car has a dent in the fender, or why they came home later than they were supposed to.
For me, there was usually a girl hiding someplace behind my story.
The point I was getting at, is that this technique was prevelant when Constantines religion was being established.
We don't have to change but a few facts in the story to change the whole outcome.
I cain't tell if this Pi-s-d everybody Off? OR
nobody can argue with it ... OR Nobody understood it ?
But come this time next week I will have forgotter all about it! So ???
In the mean time I'll keep doing what I am doing for as long as I can.
I understand where you are coming from Jerami. One only has to look at the vast differences that have developed between Christanity and its parent religion of Judaism to see that your observation holds out.
Good night Yawl! wantedta stopped in just long enough to throw some seeds out there.
Ever lied to a cop? How old were you the last time you did. Be honest, now!
This kind of truth isn't what I was reffering to but Honestly??? That woulda been in 1989.
If I get pulled over I never say anything except to answer their questions if they have any. And then I keep the answer as short as posible.
Besides they usually don't ever ask a question that they don't already have the answer.
You gotta be a pretty bright person to out-think a teenager, and visa versa! Good luck to you on that, it isn't easy.
Well if we can remember what it was like to be one ,,, and then remember how it was when we raise our children it is much easier to stay one step in front of the Grand children.
And remember that sometimes it isn't worth catching them in every deception they pull. Sometimes it is good enough to know and they don't know you know.

When you see a homeless guy on the side of the road what is the first thing that comes to mind?I hate to say it but I see someone that has given up hope, normally an alcoholic or drug addict. It is easy to get into and a free housing unit if you are willing to maintain a job they give you.

When anyone, of whatever religious persuasion, holds thoroughly rigid views within the accepted norms of that religion, does it make for honesty and truth? Or deception and lies?Opening up one's mind to other points of view, does this help in the understanding of truth? Or does it cloud and...
