Sorry. I meant under some circumstances. I think its OK to lie to a Nazi, a Communist, a murderer or an ungodly person. Just because we are obligated to tell the truth does not mean its a good idea to be truthful in a certain situation. In general, one should certainly tell the truth but like with everything else in life, there are exceptions to the rule.

Apparently, lying to a group of high school graduates is equivalent to lying to Nazis, communists, murderers, and ungodly people. In your mind.
