It's called "lying for God." g3k gets special dispensation for breaking a commandment because he's doing it "in a good cause." It's a bit like the Clintons running roughshod over individual rights "for the children."

Speaking of lies (click on the logo for the page).

But in the 1980s Richard Hardison of Glendale College wrote a computer program that generated phrases randomly while preserving the positions of individual letters that happened to be correctly placed (in effect, selecting for phrases more like Hamlet's). On average, the program re-created the phrase in just 336 iterations, less than 90 seconds. Even more amazing, it could reconstruct Shakespeare's entire play in just four and a half days.

It's called you are a totally degenerate slimer - and taking the word of God in vain too. Some Christian you are! Shows quite well you have no decency, no arguments, and can only insult people. You cannot argue the facts like the rest of your Taliban friends so you can only attack the person. You and your friends are a disgrace to theis forum.
