>>> You said Levin is an atheist. Levin is a Jew.

Yes... I used the term presumptively and incorrectly.
I probably confused him with Neil Bork who IS atheist.
I do know I heard Levin say he is not a Christian.

>>> It sounds to me like you lied accidentally

That is not possible. A lie is an intentional misrepresentation of the truth. If I knew he was a Jew, and said he was an atheist, then THAT would be a lie.

If Levin is a Jew, then other things I have heard from him makes a little more sense.

Man up. You should have written "Unless I'm mistaken, Levin is ..." or "I don't know for sure, but I seem to remember that Levin is a self-professed atheist ...", which would have been truthful and I certainly would not have called you a liar because you woudln't have been lying.

You didn't mean to lie -- I'll give you that now. But I'd admire you a whole helluva alot more if you just said, "Ooops! Sorry about that -- I stand corrected."

As for me, I stand corrected: you didn't lie, you were just talking out your ass. :^) Don't worry, I think we all do that sometimes; I know I sure have, and been caught here on FR and had to "stand corrected" myself. Your turn.
