There is no end to their deception. They say they want to stop government spending but continually increase it. They say they will not raise taxes but raise them anyway through the back door. They say they will be open and accountable but then they do everything in secret. They say they will have a moral administration and then appoint the most immoral people in the nation to positions of power. They swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States but continually subvert what it says. The list is endless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The scientific community lies <\/strong>when they claim to use the scientific method but their &#8220;scientific method&#8221; is really controlled by politics and money brokers that give grants to those that promote lies about evolution, AGW, uniformitarianism, keynesian economics, etc. If truthful scientists do not agree with the <strong>ruling lying mafia <\/strong>they will be marginalized at best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The educational system is controlled by secular humanist and Marxist liars <\/strong>that brainwash and indoctrinate the minds of children. Your children cannot get through this lying system without coming out with a lying mind. Even if your children were told and believed the truth they will still have to lie on tests to even get through the system. For example, a person cannot get thought the school system without outwardly agreeing that sex perversion is normal, that they descended from apes and that truth is relative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>National mainstream news media has become the fourth leg of a left wing radical government<\/strong>. They tell people half truths and lies as a means to their end. They do not fairly cover or they downplay anything that might be embarrassing to the administration or their secular humanist Marxist cause. For example, one of the biggest marches on Washington just took place by disgruntled Americans last weekend but you hardly heard a peep about this movement from the national media. If those that marched on Washington were homosexuals or Obama supporters it would have been prime time special news coverage. Other than Fox News, if reporters do not tote the liberal party line and bow at the teleprompter of their anointed ones they can forget about any lasting career in national news media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In business dealing there is one sure truth. Most everyone that you are talking to are lying through their teeth for their own gain.<\/strong> I do not think I really need to give examples although I could compile a book filled with examples from just those I dealt with in my own life. I think today we have all experienced those who will lie and tell us what they think we want to hear to our face in order to screw us behind our backs. Don&#8217;t expect special treatment from most who call themselves Christians either.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Liars tell us that Islam is a religion of Peace while our men go home in body bags because many in Islam take the Qu&#8217; ran literally.<\/strong> Liars tell us all religions contain truth and that all religions lead to God but the truth is that they lead to deception and eternal separation from God. Liars claiming to be Christians tell us that biblical doctrine is not important and that Christian biblical truths needs to be redefined. Liars tell us that God is a force we are part of and we can speak our own realities into existence. Liars also tell us that the Bible is not the word of God, that Jesus was not God, that we do not sin and that Jesus never died for our sins. The list of lies even in American Christianity fills volumes.<\/p>\n<p>The bible says that in the last days people would believe lies. It says that people would say that good is evil and evil is good. We have\u00a0 certainly arrived. If you have not seen a liar today you probably have been home all day (and have not looked in the mirror). \ud83d\ude2f After all, who does not love America&#8217;s new national pastime of telling and believing lies?<\/p>\n<p><strong>So I might end on these notes of caution from scripture. But the good news for believers is that all found in Christ are forgiven liars in spite of the new American national past time of telling and believing lies.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Pr 29:12\u00a0 If a ruler hearken to lies, <strong>all his servants are wicked.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>1 Ti 4:1\u00a0 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;<br \/>\n2\u00a0 <strong>Speaking lies in hypocrisy<\/strong>; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>Re 21:8\u00a0 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and <strong>all liars<\/strong>, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not too long ago the American pastime was baseball and more recently football but it seems to me that the real American pastime today has become telling and believing lies. lying is a national movement contaminating all sectors of our society.
