Big fat liars!
To qualify as a liar, one has to know what they are saying is not true, or incorrect.
Sadly, your question is out of place because both sides fully believe that what they are saying is true, and therefore they are not lying.
The only way that this can be changed is if the truth were revealed, and the lie exposed.
Still, it makes for lively discussion.

0This will definitely be a brawl. You like trouble?
Well, gee Brenda. I've got a perfectly good response for that; but I still don't get the rules here. Not wanting to be banned, I'll let you use your imagination ass to where I think your head might be. But I will say that the type of post that started this exchange is typical of the hypocritical holier than thou bs that tends to get my goat. I had no idea, before I came into these forums how bizarrely prejudiced and backwoods christian philosophy had become. So thank you. You helped open my eyes.
I am glad to know I am not the only one who sees this sort of contradiction and hypocrisy
Sometimes I wonder if I would have an easier time dealing with people in general if I hit my just as hard as I could in order that I lower my IQ enough so that I don't notice stuff like this
Nah. I don't see it as a low IQ. Lack of education, poor upbringing, foot-in-mouth disease, God complex; the list is endless.

Not to point out the obvious; but I haven't noticed God posting on the forum. I would be inclined to take his posts as gospel, were he to choose to share his thoughts on this matter. Don't be upset Sir Dent. Just having some fun.

This year I cannot even lie on my tax return. Sucks!
All of us lie,part of being human.Religion is a lie in its self and atheists lie to themselves?Not the lie that is important,however BIG it may be.The TRUTH is what counts.
Wow, You have shared a lot in just a few words. It seems like you came to a place of humility before you were able to repent and recieve Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Denial can keep one away from God, but you found your way to the right path. Praise God
An interesting post of which I found especially so from your opening line. Is lying really a part of being human? Is it so easily acknowledged as such that we can take it for granted as if it were any other common part of being human?
For as much as I try to imagine, I cannot imagine a scenario in which lying could not have been avoided entirely. Telling the truth or not saying anything at all can be the answer to almost anything. And I say 'almost' because I'm sure I've not imagined all scenarios...
Can you offer some examples that would demand one openly lied about someone or something?
Of course, the lie has to work in order for it to be successful.
That's odd behavior for an atheist. While I would suspect that ones illumination of developing their own logical and rational conclusions as to why they acknowledge themselves as atheists is tantamount to any traumatic life changing event that it would warrant every capacity one could muster to be honest with themselves.
Atheists need facts and evidence in order to support their positions on how our world works and why they cannot accept the beliefs of theists regarding the supernatural.
For an atheist to think and believe he is lying to himself in making his decisions to be an atheist, he would be severing the very foundation of his capacity to use the same critical thinking skills that lead him to question religious beliefs in the first place.
As far as considering oneself superior to a god, we can turn to any number of biblical quotations and find ample reason why we as humans would never behave in that manner.
If not worship, I would at the very least respect highly a god that showed all the compassion and understanding we as humans were able to show and not the wrath for which he is feared.
Again, very odd behavior for an atheist. How does one suddenly realize they are a sinner if sins is not a concept an atheist could accept as morally and ethically consistent, even when compared with their own, for example?
What sins of the bible did you suddenly become aware that you were engaging freely and willingly?
Notice that you said that you "prefer Truth now" implying that your decision of your so-called conversion to theism has more to do with what you want as opposed to what your god wants from you.
If an atheist were to turn to religion and begin believing that a god does in fact exist, he would either be lying or he would indeed have met god himself. And, even at that, he would still not be able to support his argument unless he had evidence that he did indeed meet a god.
And, if such evidence were required to convince all mankind a god does in fact exist, then every single person on the planet would have had to have met him too, in order to satisfy his decision to become a theist.
