Reply #9: Technically lies aren't ruled out in the commandment but

[jbnow]

lying against someone is...
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

But obviously the republicans have done a crazy amount of that too with all of their lies and distortions about Obama.

Maybe they'd debate the neighbor part. Obama doesn't try to get off on technicalities here.

Funny that the commandment doesn't just say "Though shall not lie"
But then Jesus said of Satan
has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

But it seems to me this kind of Christian doesn't give a crap about Jesus. They like his dad in the Old Testament better who smites people and talks about abominations.
