Answer 4

It doesn't make sense when the Bible is very clear that lying is a sin.

"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord."  (Proverbs 12:22)

We see the same process at work as respects g*y Americans.  Those promoting the anti-g*y agenda are always telling us that Christ condemned g*y people. Yet Christ never condemned g*y people or condoned homophobia!  I'll side with Christ on this issue rather than a bunch of angry, anti-g*y activists trying to justify the homophobia in their own hearts.

Answer 5

For the same reason religious nuts think it's ok to kill in the name of God. If it helps convert people to their religion, it's ok according to them.

Some pepple are misguided and use the name of G-d to suit their own purposes.

Answer 15

Answer 16

Whatever it takes to suck people into their cult.  As long as their "soul is safe", they figure that lying is the right thing to do.  

Answer 17

Because that's what they used to make soap out of, so it's clean.

Answer 18

You must realize after using this site for a bit that a lot of the folks feigning mental illness are really and truly ill. God warriors reporting other members for Jesus. Atheists slashing and burning in perpetual flame wars over c**p they don't even care about. The addicted ones that must live in front of their screens to have so many of these worthless points. Multiple account holders with no lives.Then there's the trolls. It's kook kook town and the trains done left. Lying isn't the worst of it, by far.

Answer 19

Even Christians lie in the name of God. Just think about it - all of the "Christians" who have been involved in mass-terrorism (Jim Jones, Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, etc.) have all claimed that it was God who led them to do what the did/planned to do. All the suppression in the world (slavery, concentration camps, woman's voting rights, segregation, etc.) were all enforced with arguments that the Bible says that these people should not have equal rights. What it boils down too is that as humans we are willing to go to great lengths to make people believe our belief system - even if we know that God wouldn't want us to suppress and teach hatred and ignorance, we still use his name to make our arguments stronger.

Answer 27

The poster of the question that you linked didn't lie, he was mistaken. He's just another naive, ignorant fool who believed what he was told without actually reading the source material for himself.
