It’s true! Lies are harmful. Lies are destroying the world. They are more dangerous than we think.
Come to think of it, there’s no such thing as an ‘innocent’ or ‘harmless’ lie. Let’s keep excuses and white lies aside for a while and focus on solid, intentional, black lies alone. Why do we need lies at all? If we examine that question, we’ll realize that the purpose behind every lie is one of (to): confuse, deceive, manipulate, hurt, or destroy the recipient(s).
Lies do so much damage that in today’s world of disinformation/misinformation, entire media wars are fought and won by creating and propagating deliberate lies. AI/deep fakes/hi-tech can convincingly turn innocents into criminals and vice-versa, so how do we find the truth?
If such be the dangerous power of lies, a deep examination of the effects of truth and lies on life becomes worthwhile. Truth points one to God. Truth is light. Truth builds up. Lies point you in just the opposite direction, to the devil, and guaranteed destruction over time! This book examines the nitty-gritty of truth and lies.
