According to the field of psychology, ALL human behavior is motivated by one of only two things
1. The expectation of pleasure or reward or
2. The avoidance of pain or punishment
Evaluate your own behavior and see if this statement is indeed true.

I'm sorry to say I just can't watch these youtube content "creators" remark on the news. It drives me crazy. Take your profile off the video, don't stop it to make your commentary--I just can't do it. I know these are wildly popular but I just can't.

Most do not lie deliberately .Especially Christians. Obviously people who say this was discrimination against this man's religious beliefs haven't seen the video.
Probably more down to entrainment and very bad diets .

I don't follow links, especially video links, so this may already have been noted.
The lies at which I most commonly catch myself, are the lies I tell myself with this common theme: I move myself from being in the wrong to being in the right. One recent example: I could have easily stopped at a yellow light, instead I sped through it. This was not the best choice, but I easily came up with excuses: I was in a hurry; being caught at a red light at that particular intersection is painstakingly long. (No lie about that.) Even so, I lied to myself about making that choice to move myself from wrong into right.
Sure, common reasons for lying is to make the story (about myself, of course) more interesting. However, a few months ago when I made myself keep track of all my little lies to myself, I was astonished first (dismayed second) at how often I lied to myself about the littlest things. It's been a hard habit to break. We (at least I do) spend too much time justifying ourselves and our choices to ourselves.

Ask Democrat Atheists, which are most of them. Or, just ask Democrats. Just ask Atheists.

The man who lies faster than a machine gun? It's impossible to correct the lies of this man - who is no Christian and never had been a Christian. To correct his lies and wrong statements would take far too much time. That's the main reason why lies are successful. The other reason is that to learn is not easy - but first to unlearn what's wrong and then to learn what's right is really a very tough business.

On the other side, my Christian friend: Only to lie is not really a sin - and sometimes a lie is even able to be a heroic deed. If you like to be perfect then your have also to learn to lie. I say in such cases: "The perfect is not perfect." The intention makes the difference. And only you and god know your real intention. ... What's by the way no excuse for Donald Trump and the lies of this man. He's driven from the wrong motor.

Finally someone who speaks out a truth by not saying what's true. Nice.

there is nothing that is perfect - such is a linguistic mirage ...
purity is the goal set by the heavens, religion of antiquity - the triumph of good vs evil - granted a&e as the goal to receive judgement and admission to the everlasting.
to lie without evil, a white lie - is not a sin. - - they were saved by the lie they worshiped a desert bible to save their lives from the crucifiers.
