Lying pays honor to the Prince of Lies.

Telling the truth pays honor to the Incarnation of Truth.

Resurrexi,

In [i]theeeeory, [/i]lying is objectively and intrinsically evil, and [i]cleeeearly [/i]one can never commit an evil act to achieve a good, but things are [i]sooooo[/i] complex in the real world. I mean, what if there were, some, like Gestapo and stuff thrown into the mix? Our God is an Understanding God, after all.
