Lies – No Excuse

It has not escaped my attention that some of the same kinds of Christians who accuse Muslims of lying in the cause of Islam are thoroughly accomodating towards lies and misinformation they see as advancing their own religio-political causes. Let’s not mince words. This is hypocritical and in direct violation of the Ten Commandments and the teachings of Jesus. There is no excuse. I am sure some will say, “But, but, look at them!” seeking to deflect attention and blame to their opponents. Even if true, that others are doing it, there is still no excuse. “But it I didn’t know that photo was doctored before I reposted it!” Still no excuse. Fact check before forwarding. You have an obligation to seek truth. I am especially outraged though when I hear Christians trying to theologically justify lying in the name of Christ. That is too immature for words.
