I disagree. depending on the situation behind the lies. When I was drinking and in the throws of alcoholism I was a liar and manipulator. I made amends and I am so honest now that its almost a fault. I try to be an open book for my friends and family. It took them awhile to trust me again and I had to tolerate lots of double checking of things I did and said but it was ok with me because I had given them reason to not trust me. So I think in certain situations liars can be trusted eventually. But I am not saying that in reference to the op just something I wanted to share.
