Interesting. What IS lying is a serious philosophical issue but I don't want to do it myself, if I can figure out if I am. I don't especially care if people believe in things they can't prove ---- that's the whole history of religion, after all. It's the norm for people, really.Lying always bothers me. When you make empty claims they don’t mean anything. You need to prove it like I just did to you.
What I don't like is lying that is manipulative. Like all the junk mail I get with official-looking envelopes meant to get me to open them so I'll read the gimme-gimme money appeal inside. That kind of lying for money or interest I have no patience with. But somebody believing in something crazy, like Global Warming or "We're in the Latter Days" I don't care much about.
