I like sincere people of faith. You have to realize that faith will be tested by facts. Keep the faith, but don’t try to deny the facts.

What is your best fact?

And what is an Atheist's best argument for you always telling the truth?

Thanks,

-Jesse

Genome comparisons prove evolution is trueAnd what is an Atheist's best argument for you always telling the truth?

Cultures reward compliant behavior and punish noncompliant behavior. Lying is mostly injurious to the social contract, so cultures have evolved to view most lying as evil.

I'll take a stab at that. It's because truth always wins. It can be buried or denied successfully for awhile, but truth wins.

And it's much easier to defend than falsehoods.

So why wouldn't it be the best policy for anyone regardless of religious belief?
