I think everyone lies once in a while.I mean harmless little lies. I am against the lies that can bring harm on others one way or the other.Once in my school a group of bullies lied and I had to go to principal's office.I was adamant that I didn't do it and bullies insisted I did it.Issue had tobe resolved ,so my good friend was summoned. Now she was my good friend,well disciplined and very religious girl.I was happy that she was there because I know she wouldn't lie.But to my surprise she said I did what the bullies said.Issue resolved.I got into trouble because of her lies.It really bothered me for a long time.I asked her why did she lie.Thou shalt not lie....didn't we all learn that??I asked her why did you sin by lying?She said her mom told her if she crossed her fingers and lied then it is not a sin.And God forgives her.Her mom told her.Hmmm .well.Thats really convenient. But what about the trauma her lies caused?
