Sorry Iano, I don't recall that you took this off topic but it is time to STOP it. Lies and hate by anyone here are NOT on topic.
But then it becomes more subjective. Faith considers some things to be lies that are true. Evolutionary theory, for example.
Subjective indeed. Your worldview being as subjective to her as hers is to you. Truth/lie. Difficult words to pin down those. For you truth is 99. whatever % sure - on the basis of inferring from evidence. For Faith it is 100% sure based on inferring from the evidence. We can all only deal with the evidence as we find it
I would go so far as to say that Faith probably considers any evidence, theory or idea that contradicts anything in the bible to be a lie.
A natural consequence of your worldview. For you, the bible is not the word of God. But you can only be 99.whatever% sure of that too.
Its about evidence which satisfies EZ. And content as you might be with 99.whatever, for some, that is just not enough.
I would not say that I 'hate' lies...
Oh but you do. We all do. Where you an invisable bystander when a paedophile coerces a youngster into his car you would listen to soft lying tones, listen to those words, see the lie and hate it for what it is attempting to achieve. Yes, by extension you might 'hate' the person from who the lie issues. But whilst the words flow it is them which you would give anything to be able to prevent from propagating across the airwaves. You would give anything to disturb the air through which the sound propagates. The words would be your most immediate, your most pressing concern.
People throw themselves on front of bullets aimed at another. A mother pushes a pram out of the way and takes the oncoming truck to herself. The person behind the trigger or the wheel is not the most immediate concern. The effectual agent is.
Faith, I trust, would hate those words but feel compassion and anguish for the state of the person who would be able to issue them. For who couldn't feel compassion for the person who resided 24/7 in a place which could concieve of such words? She would do anything to pour love into that persons heart so as to prevent that heart issuing such words. She would rejoice were the heart to be melted so as not to do so. For she knows she, were she to be judged on her own merit, is as vile as that paedophile herself. Faith knows she is a kettle. How can a kettle call a pot black?
Faith hates nobody - she hates the lies that issue forth from them.
