The Next Best Lies Are the Ones That Are Most True

Deceptive ideas that cater to disordered desires flourish in sinful societies. The trickiness of lies lies in their ability to appear as truth. Recognizing lies is hard because they are often perceived as truth. The devil excels in crafting lies that are mostly true, exploiting the small percentage that is misleading. Lies that are true but not the complete truth or one-sided dominate political conversations, lacking room for nuance. Oversimplification of complex topics like gender, sexuality, or politics into hashtags aids deception. Understanding the complexity of human experience is crucial as slogans cannot encapsulate the depth of human conditions. The fight against deceit involves following Jesus' teachings, emphasizing the devil's penchant for lies. Jesus confronts religious leaders with the truth about the devil, linking lies to the tale of the snake in the Garden of Eden, emphasizing the devil's nature as a liar and the father of lies.
