🤔 so many to choose from. Maybe the latest one would be an enriched uranium program in Iran?

Or possibly weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

We fight them there in Afghanistan so we don't have to fight them here in America.

Mission accomplished in the Persian Gulf, 2004 or whenever that was

One I have a lot of questions about might be the biggest if its really a lie, but so many deeply religious Christians say its not a lie, but that's what makes it the biggest lie if it is a lie. It might be when they say Jesus is Lord.

The first of the ten Commandments is what makes me question it. It states that there is only one god. Another one says its a sin to pray to false idols. There are two Commandments dedicated to the notion of only one God and the consequences of praying to the wrong one.

Who would cause such misdirection? Who could create such a believable religion? (God's favorite angel) Why? (Has fallen from grace) If it's a lie, it seems like one that might seem to be sinful if it wasn't complied to. That would be the trick of all time and by now, may have too much momentum to change its course. By now, anyone who would oppose such a story would be considered to be the sinner.

I don't know what the truth is. It just seems fishy to me when the explanation of Jesus being God is explained in the New Testament, not the old Testament...like it's a new rule and nobody noticed when it was slipped in or that it violated a couple of the only Ten Commandments, ..maybe three of them depending on your interpretation of a graven image.
